Nora,
1. Are you able to "ping os_gold" ?
2. Was xCAT used to provision os_gold? Or you are just trying to capture
an image from os_gold that has been installed there by some other process
? If latter, you may need to manually copy the systemimager rpms from
management node to the os_gold machine (instead of doing steps 4 and 5
below). For instructions on how to do that:

1- Yes I am able to ping
2- it has an OS which is centos6.5 that is provided by vagrant , but I
cannot update it , when I run
updatenode os_gold -s
it gives me the following error : os_gold is not responding. No command
will be issued to this host.

2. Has os_gold VM been provisioned with an OS ? If not, do you have an
osimage definition to be installed on os_gold ?

To install the systemimager, you pretty much have to follow the steps in
http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/sysclone/sysclone.html
Basically:
1. On manageament node download xcat-dep tar file: wget
https://xcat.org/files/xcat/xcat-dep/2.x_Linux/xcat-dep-2.13.2-linux.tar.bz2
2. Install systemimager on MN: yum -y install systemimager-server
3. Untar the downloaded file into some directory
4. On management node modify osimage definition that was used to install
"golden client" machine by adding/modifying otherpkglist and otherpkgdir
attributes. otherpkgdir should point to the directory where xcat-dep was
untarred. And otherpkglist should point to an existing file supplied by
xCAT. Choose the one that matches your OS and architecture. The file
should contain something similar to
"xcat/xcat-dep/<os>/<arch>/systemimager-client"
5. On management node run "updatenode <golden client> -S". This should
update the golden client machine with the systemimager packages
