It could be confirmed that 'getpostcript' failed on xCAT MN.
Did you see the message like 'Received getpostscript from <node>, which
couldn't be correlated to a node' after the message xCAT: Allowing
getpostscript in the syslog. If yes, take a look of your node IP resolution
in /etc/hosts and dns. Make sure the Ip of node name can resolved to IP.
Thanks

Xiao thanks for the help.
This is the xCAT output from /var/log/messages after changing the template
reinstalling the node:

The node at that point is repeating a 'retrying flag update' message when I
switch to a different tty.
The hardware is Intel servers but we will be testing Supermicro servers as
well.

Hi Wang,
I managed to get past the initial discovery issue, I think it's because
I hadn't set a root password in the passwd table.
After that the systems got stuck due to wrong options in the kickstart
file which is not compatible with anaconda from CentOS 7.
I then used one of the template kickstarts which didn't have anything in
the preinstall or postinstall sections and commented/modified the
following options:
langsupport
mouse none
changed zerombr yes to just zerombr.
I also had to add the %end directive to the %pre and %post sections and
move the %end for the %package section one line above %pre
When everything was corrected node n1 installed but then went into a
reinstallation loop.
I then copied back the original kickstart which xcat created and did the
same modifications as above, then it complained about the following
issues:
- compat-libstdc++-33 is not available in the repo
- The following groups don't exist System Tools, Network Server and
Legacy Software Development
At which point I chose to ignore the above package/groups and continue
installation.
Installation seemed to finish successfully but upon reboot the nodes
tried to install again.

Subject: [xcat-user] Node provisioning
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up xCAT 2.9 on some Intel x86_64 nodes with
CentOS 7 and I've come across a few obstacles.
Firstly, I've been following the idataplex quick start guide to
set up xCAT.
I've reached the step of adding a dynamic range to the cluster
network:
[root@xcat templates]# lsdef -t network -o 192_168_0_0-255_255_0_0
Object name: 192_168_0_0-255_255_0_0
dhcpserver=192.168.1.1
dynamicrange=192.168.1.2-192.168.1.128
gateway=<xcatmaster>
mask=255.255.0.0
mgtifname=eth0
net=192.168.0.0
tftpserver=192.168.1.1
Next the guide goes into using the idataplex templates which some
are not available in the e1350 folder,ie compute. Thus I tried to
manually add the node attributes as shown in the advanced guide,
which won't work when defining specific node attributes since it
requires the nodes MAC addresses.
I did create a compute group with the following:
Object name: compute
members=n1,n10,n11,n12,n13,n14,n15,n16,n17,n18,n19,n2,n20,n3,n4,n5,n6,n7,n8,n9
provmethod=centos7-x86_64-install-compute
In the end when I tried to do the node discovery I ended up with
the following undefined node:
[root@xcat ~]# nodediscoverls
UUID NODE
METHOD MTM SERIAL
80828CCE-A61C-E211-AFE6-001E67245320 undef
undef ........
And when I try to define it I get:
[root@xcat ~]# nodediscoverdef -u
80828CCE-A61C-E211-AFE6-001E67245320 -n n1
Error: The node [n1] should have a correct IP address which
belongs to the management network.
Then the node is stuck with the 'commencing transmit of packages'
message.
If anyone can provide some help it would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Chris
