Russell,
Thank you. I have found this document and used it quite a bit so far. (I'm
converting RHEL6.4 to CENTOS6.5 in our cluster and it has helped me to
understand what was there and how to "do it right" to some extent.) It does
seem to be a bit dated, and doesn't seem to go into everything well. But it
does a good job, and is written to be understood, as opposed to written to show
how smart the author is.
Thanks again for the quick reply. I'm still going to need to be digging, though.
Sincerely,
John W. Hosie III301 509 1089 (M)301 869 6327 (H)

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Good xCAT Book
This is a good start. It's a little bit old and does some things in
a different way than I would, but the overall information in it is
great: http://sumavi.com/books/xcat-administrators-guide

I'm working on a
government contract to support an HPC environment that uses
xCAT. I've spent over 7 1/2 months working with a document
that really doesn't say much more than how to get hardware
support that was produced by the vendor who did the initial
installation. I've also used what I could find in Google. But,
to tell you the truth, none of it really seems to be all that
"good". It tells me about this or that implementation, and can
be adapted to meet my needs, but it takes time and effort that
seems to be more than should be necessary.
Now, it may be better than it once was. I'll give you that.
But I'd like to know if there is a good published document out
there I can look for, electronic or pulp, that I can use to
give me better guidance? What is there out there? And are
there any sites you've run across that might help me to fill
in the gaps in my current knowledge?
Don't get me wrong. I really do appreciate the pieces of
documentation I've found. I'd just like to find something that
would help me to be able to tie it all together better.
Sincerely,
John W. Hosie III
