Hi,
    Welcome to xCAT!  :-).
    Could you set "usefping"  to 1 at the site table?  (you an use tabedit 
site command).  xdcp -v calls pping to verify that the nodes can be 
reachable before syncing the files. pping uses nmap if  site.usefping is 
not set, otherwise it uses fping. Anyway, please make sure that the fping 
or nmap is installed on the xCAT management node and set the site 
attribute accordingly.  Hope it helps.

Hi all,
I am a newbie to xcat...
I set up xcat (version 2.9) with one management node and two clients, each 
at AIX 7.1 TL3 SP4.
When I run
xdcp aixnodes -v  -F /tmp/AIX.synclist
I get the message:
Error: Error from pping
The file in my synclist /tmp/AIX.synclist is synced.
Any hints, why I get the error message from pping?
