Sorry for the late reply xCAT version: 2.11
What the issue ended up being is as follows. Per RHEL licensing I am using RHEL for Scientific Computing for the nodes. In order to separate the Server and Compute Node versions I named this, at copycd time, rhels6.8-computenode and the actual Server install rhels6.8-server. During the otherpkgs postscript this portion of the code: if ( pmatch "$OSVER" "rhel*" ); then #default_pkgdir="$INSTALLDIR/$OSVER/$ARCH" if [ $dir == $default_pkgdir ] || [ $dir == "$default_pkgdir/" ]; then if ( pmatch "$OSVER" "rhels6*" ); then if [ $ARCH == "ppc64" ]; then ospkgdir_ok="$ospkgdir/Server" index=$(expr $index + 1) array_set_element os_path $index $ospkgdir_ok fi if [ $ARCH == "x86_64" ]; then for arg in "Server" "ScalableFileSystem" "HighAvailability" "ResilientStorage" "LoadBalancer" do ospkgdir_ok="$ospkgdir/$arg" index=$(expr $index + 1) array_set_element os_path $index $ospkgdir_ok done fi Produces 5 xCAT-rhels6.8-computenode-path# repos using the args as expected. However these are not valid repos for the RHEL for Scientific Computing image. I have this fixed temporarily by changing: for arg in "Server" "ScalableFileSystem" "HighAvailability" "ResilientStorage" "LoadBalancer" to for arg in "ComputeNode" "ScalableFileSystem" While this is a band aid, simply copying the iso for RHEL for Scientific Computing image with copycds, without giving it a unique name, didn't result in the ability to install the version necessary for proper RHEL subscription licensing. All nodes, regardless of image, ended up reporting as RHEL Server.
