Hi,
Trying to deploy fw upgrades to a cluster based on
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Updating_Firmware_with_Bootable_Media_Creator/
The steps I took:
1. deploy xcat on an internet connected machine
2. download bomc, asu
3. mktoolscenter -s
4. copy surrogate.tgz to MN
5. untar
6. copy /install to all sn
7. nodeset netboot=toolscenter-x86_64-bomc
at this point I get first issue - all the sn nodes are set correctly, but
the MN complains about xnba bug, so the output looks like:
boot
netboot toolscenter-x86_64-bomc
netboot toolscenter-x86_64-bomc
netboot toolscenter-x86_64-bomc
After a short unsuccessful troubleshoot (mainly mknb, and trying to diff MN
from SN) decided to move on as the node only contacts the sn.
the node boots correctly, but gets stuck trying to ping and tftp sn1
repeatedly (always with same error - unable to resolve host) until dropping
to busybox shell.
dns and dhcp work correctly, but the busybox dhclient doesn't creates a
resolv.conf file in /etc/. It does have the information in a file with a
complex name (sorry I can't be more specific, will write the info down if
required when next near the cluster)
I could not figure out where the sn1 name came from, so i could change it
to IP addr form.
