Hi Qamar,
     xCAT does not support symbolic link under /install/postscripts 
directory. This is a known problem and the consent was no symbolic links 
should be put under that directory.

Thanks,

Subject:        [xcat-user] Netboot images - postscripts bug



Dear Team,

I just wanted to report a bug in xCAT. 

When you have a broken symbolic link in /install/postscripts the 
postscripts don't run on nodes booting diskless images.

i.e ls -l /install/postscripts/myscript 

if it shows like:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Nov 20 16:33 /install/postscripts/myscript -> 
/install/postscripts/myscripts/myscript

When xCAT copies it across the nodes it becomes a broken symbolic link.

This causes 'xcatdsklspost' to fail and as a result no postscripts are run 
on the node.
