Hi Arif,

thank you for your quick answer.

Hi Laurent,

You may have missed running either of the commands below

nodeset newton-f-01 osimage
# nodeset newton-f-01 osimage
newton-f-01: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant tables: noderes.netboot=(grub2[-]?.*);nodehm.mgt

or

$ rinstall newton-f-01
newton-f-01: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant tables: noderes.netboot
Error: nodeset failed on certain nodes.
newton-f-01: Network
newton-f-01: reset


As suggested I check the two tables :
$ tabdump noderes
#node,servicenode,netboot,tftpserver,tftpdir,nfsserver,monserver,nfsdir,installnic,primarynic,discoverynics,cmdinterface,xcatmaster,current_osimage,next_osimage,nimserver,routenames,nameservers,proxydhcp,comments,disable
"newton-f-01",,"xbna",,,,,,,"eth0",,,,,,,,,,,
"newton-f-02",,"xbna",,,,,,,"eth0",,,,,,,,,,,
and
$ tabdump nodehm
#node,power,mgt,cons,termserver,termport,conserver,serialport,serialspeed,serialflow,getmac,cmdmapping,consoleondemand,comments,disable
"newton-f-01",,"ipmi",,,,,,,,,,,,
"newton-f-02",,"ipmi",,,,,,,,,,,,

But I don't see what is incorrectly configured.

Regards,

Laurent
or

rinstall newton-f-01

The commands above will configure the relevant tftp/dhcp etc... to get the server to get the relevant configs

rinstall will also reset the machine for you as well, as well as setting the node to boot of the network

regards,
Arif

Dear xcat-users,

I am new to xCAT and I encounter a problem when I try to deploy the nodes.
Basically, the installer does not start.

Here's my setup:
- a virtual machine bridged on the management network that hosts xCAT 2.11
- 48 Dell compute nodes connected to the management network
- a iDRAC service network configured to be used through IPMI

I used the following documentation
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start/

I have manually declared my nodes (knowing MAC address of management interface) and run the network tools to update the configuration (makehosts, makedns, makedhcp, makentp).

I created an system image using
copycds -n centos7 CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1511.iso
and my nodes are configured to use it.

I am able to get/set node status via BMC
$ rpower newton-f-01 state
newton-f-01: on
$ rsetboot newton-f-01 net
newton-f-01: Network

When I power up the nodes, I can follow via the console the deployment and it acquires the correct IP address,
retrieve the genesis operating system but installation does not start.
$ nodestat newton-f-01
newton-f-01: sshd

I can connect to the node via SSH.
$ ssh root@newton-f-01
[xCAT Genesis running on newton-f-01 /]# uname -r
2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64
or xdsh:
$ xdsh fat date
newton-f-01: Wed Feb 10 10:33:36 UTC 2016
newton-f-02: Wed Feb 10 10:33:36 UTC 2016

I probably missed a step to tell the Genesis operating system to launch the install but I haven't found how to do it.

Below follow some configuration informations.

*xCAT version*
$ lsxcatd -a
Version 2.11 (git commit 9ea36ca6163392bf9ab684830217f017193815be, built Mon Nov 30 05:43:11 EST 2015)
This is a Management Node
dbengine=SQLite

*OSimage details*
$ lsdef -t osimage centos7-x86_64-install-compute
Object name: centos7-x86_64-install-compute
    imagetype=linux
    osarch=x86_64
    osdistroname=centos7-x86_64
    osname=Linux
    osvers=centos7
    otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/centos7/x86_64
    pkgdir=/install/centos7/x86_64
pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.pkglist
    profile=compute
    provmethod=install
template=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.tmpl

*A node example
*$ lsdef newton-f-01
Object name: newton-f-01
    bmc=10.90.20.1
    bmcpassword=XXXXX
    bmcusername=root
    groups=fat,all
    ip=172.16.20.1
    mac=00:8C:FA:F7:0E:BC
    mgt=ipmi
    netboot=xbna
    postbootscripts=otherpkgs
    postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
    primarynic=eth0
    provmethod=centos7-x86_64-install-compute
    status=powering-off
    statustime=02-09-2016 18:14:27*

Thanks in advance if you can give me a solution or a pointer to a link that explains how to solve that.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Laurent Pouilloux
