The manpage said: *rinstall*noderange*osimage*=imagename
So you should use 'rinstall cn01
osimage=ubuntu16.04.1-x86_64-install-compute'
Thanks
Best Regards

Thank you guys for all your help so far - is there a guide I can
follow for VM related installed? I am struggling a little with this -
I tried rinstall as requested but get the following results:
root@xcat1:~# rinstall cn01 boot
Provision node(s): cn01
cn01: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant
tables: noderes.netboot
Error: failed to run 'nodeset' against the following nodes: cn01
root@xcat1:~# rinstall cn01 ubuntu16.04.1-x86_64-install-compute
Error: cn01: 'provmethod' attribute not defined in 'nodetype' table.
Error: No available nodes for provision.
root@xcat1:~# rinstall cn01 ubuntu16.04.1-x86_64-netboot-compute
Error: cn01: 'provmethod' attribute not defined in 'nodetype' table.
Error: No available nodes for provision.
Kind regards,
James

James,
If you are trying to boot a VM, there is no need to use "rsetboot".
Use "rinstall" command instead. It will do "nodeset", "rsetboot" (if
needed) and "rpower" for you.

Hi there,
Thanks for your quick reply - I tried that definition:
root@xcat1:~# chdef cn01 mgt=kvm
1 object definitions have been created or modified.
root@xcat1:~# tabdump nodehm
#node,power,mgt,cons,termserver,termport,conserver,serialport,serialspeed,serialflow,getmac,cmdmapping,consoleondemand,comments,disable
"cn01",,"kvm",,,,,,,,,,,,
but I still get the following:
root@xcat1:~# rsetboot cn01 net
cn01: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check
relevant tables: nodehm.power,mgt;nodehm.mgt
Is there something else I need to set?
Kind regards,
James

Hi all,
I am in the process of setting up xCAT to deploy some Ubuntu hosts -
right now I am testing in a VMware ESXi environment with PXE boot
enabled, but once I've got things working this will be rolled out beyond
this.
I have deployed xCAT on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS using "go-xcat" - no errors
were seen during install and here is the version detail:
root@xcat1:~# lsxcatd -a
Version 2.13.2 (git commit dab564dd7f23cb8bc46119f11d235de33c57802a,
built Wed Feb 22 22:44:48 EST 2017)
This is a Management Node
dbengine=SQLite
I have been following the guide here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Ubuntu_Quick_Start
to get my off the ground and running - the only difference is I am using
Ubuntu 16.04 so I've substituted that where applicable. All steps in the
guide I have completed with no issues or errors up until the point where
I am trying to build cn01 (I've kept my test system names the same for
ease - again this will be extended in the future). When I try to ready
the system for build, I get the following:
root@xcat1:~# rsetboot cn01 net
cn01: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant
tables: nodehm.power,mgt;nodehm.mgt
root@xcat1:~# nodeset cn01 osimage=ubuntu16.04.1-x86_64-install-compute
cn01: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant
tables: noderes.netboot=(grub2[-]?.*);nodehm.mgt
I note that the nodehm table has nothing in it:
root@xcat1:~# tabdump nodehm
#node,power,mgt,cons,termserver,termport,conserver,serialport,serialspeed,serialflow,getmac,cmdmapping,consoleondemand,comments,disable
However I don't believe I have skipped any steps. Have I missed
something fundamental, or is there something I can do to rectify this?
At this stage I don't want to worry about hardware management - I have
no IPMI or HMC right now - I just want to network boot my servers from
xCAT. Again in future IPMI will be added, but that's to come.
Please can someone help me work out how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
James
