From the error message that ARP failed on your compute node. And from the
screen shot that the mac address of your install nic is xx:24:eb, did you
see this interface sent request to your dhcpd? I am afraid that the
firewall of something blocked the network connection.
Thanks
Best Regards

Subject: [xcat-user] xCAT and dhcpd.conf
Dear xCat team,
Error:
PXE-E11: ARP timeout
PXE-E11: ARP timeout
PXE-E38: TFTP cannot open connection
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
Please see attached file
I use old IBM cluster (3 x Blade Center HS21) and have to run it with xCAT.
As I see xCAT generates dhcpd.conf file for xnba.
How to make the file correctly for pxe if xCat version#2.8.5 is installed
on RHEL 6.5?
