The problem I am running into right now is that when I run the nodeset:
$ nodeset esxihost01 install=esxi6-x86_64-hypervisor
The pxeboot file for this host isn't getting set up correctly:
$ cat /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/esxihost01
#!gpxe
#install esxi6-x86_64-hypervisor
LOCALBOOT 0
It looks the same with: netboot=esxi6-x86_64-hypervisor
Does anything look out of place here?
Object name: esxihost01
arch=x86_64
bmc=esxihost01-ipmi
bmcport=1
