Hi,

The management node is SL 6.6. /install is a local disk partition and NOT mounted from another server. After the initial upgrade, xcatd was restarted and it disregarded the /install entry already in present in fstab. It tried to remount itself on to /install and caused hangs when /install was accessed. This was also causing issues on reboot and we had to go into single user mode and mount systems manually as xcatd still tried to make the mount even though the erroneous fstab line was removed. This resulting in the mount error provided below. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hi Will,

I want to confirm the following information:

1, Does the xcat management node OS is SL 6.6 ?

2, Do you use the mounted /install directory from other server?

3, After xCAT 2.10 upgrade to xCAT 2.12, is xcatd stopped?

4, When you start xcatd, you hit the new issue ?

*service xcatd start*

Sure. We are running SL 6.6. The issue with makedhcp happens every time we run it. The commands appear to work without error, but the leases file is never modified and entries have to be manually added or removed. Unfortunately, I was not the one who upgraded to 2.10, so I cannot say when this behavior started exactly. I do know that it worked prior to 2.10.

As for the mount, it definitely started after I upgraded to 2.12. I read in the documentation that this is the default behavior. However, it was not immediately evident how to disable it. To reproduce, we simply have to start xCAT (we are transitioning to OL7, so the image errors are OK):


*service xcatd start*
Starting xcatd mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/install
Error mount -o rw,nolock XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/install /install
Error: Cannot find the OS image SL-x86_64-install-pvfs on the osimage table. Error: Cannot find the OS image SL-x86_64-install-kvm on the osimage table. Error: Cannot find the OS image SL-x86_64-install-service on the osimage table. Error: Cannot find the OS image ol7-x86_64-install-service on the osimage table.

This is also causing some issues during reboots as it appears that it wants to still mount atop itself.

/install is already mounted, as this is our MN:

*df -h /install*
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg00-install
                     1.0T   35G  989G   4% /install

Let me know if you need any more info.  Many thanks.

        We are running xCAT version 2.12.  It was recently 2.10.  I
        upgraded
        thinking that this would resolve an issue with  makedhcp not
        updating
        dhcpd.leases.  Not only did it not resolve the issue, but it
        caused an
        additional one in that xCAT now wants to mount /install atop
        of itself
        puon start-up when it is a separate partition on the disk.  I
        did look
        through the documentation with little success.  Any help would be
        appreciated.  Thanks.
