Hello Siddharth, When using xCAT, you need to follow a particular order of commands - if you want to see the changes you made reflect across respective places. That is something I have observed.
You can edit the templates, to workaround but it limits the automation. Let me ask you few questions, to make things clear. For DNS issue. 1. Are you using external DNS or xCATs DNS ? Depending on which DNS you are using, you need to make sure your zone files on that respective server have the dns ip address mapping you expect to have. For post install scripts, issue: Check the messages logs and http logs to track down the issue. It could be related to the xCAT key. But I cannot be sure as it looks like the changes that you have made to http port hasn't reflected across all the files. When you change the http port, check 'netstat -tulpn' to see if you have that port open as expected. If not try restarting httpd service. It that doesn't work, restart xcatd daemon. Check the httpd error logs if you see any errors while doing so. Also, once your httpd port is open as a expected. Make sure your DNS works, and atleast make sure your dhcp got the right IP address in its lease file. If everything seems alright till now, then make sure you do nodeset osimage everytime you change a node property that might be related to booting/installing. You can do also do nodeset boot, but it all depends on many conditions. I observed that Nodeset triggers the changes to reflect in autoinst file. It does many other things in background. These are few of the things, that i do to debug issues. It helps me to understand almost all issues. May be the xCAT developer team has better tools/methods.
