Carsten,
Can you verify that the nmap or fping is installed on the xCAT
management server?
Then you can try to run pping command to see if it works.
If fping is installed, run pping -f <nodename>
If nmap is installed, run pping <nodename>
After the pping command, can you run echo $? to see what it gives you?
Please show me the results.
Thanks,
Ling

Hi,
I set usefping=1, but it did not change anything to the pping error.
Also xdcp without -v returns the pping error.
I am also not sure whether site.usefping is supported as the Parameter is
not listed with lsdef -h -t site.
Kind regards,
Carsten

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.

Subject: [xcat-user] xdcp issue
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?
