You mentioned 'the installation finished', does that mean the centos7
installation has been done after discovery. Did the install of centos7 was
triggered by yourself manually or by change setting in chain table?
For the reboot to genesis, I am curious the setting in the dhcpd.lease file
for this node (/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.lease), could you show it out.
Thanks

I've tried recreating the /etc/hosts file, running makedns, makehosts,
makedhcp -n, nodediscoverdef -u <UUID> n1, the installation finished but
upon next reboot the system PXE boots and tries to reinstall with the
genesis files instead of booting centos7.
I can get it to install centos7 again by repeating the nodediscoverdef step
but once it finishes the same thing happens.
I'm not really sure what the issue is at this moment.
Regarding the previous issue the MN never got showed this message:
Received getpostscript from <node>, which couldn't be correlated to a node
Thanks,

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.

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Node provisioning
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.
The output for the commands you requested:

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
