oh, you missed mgt attribute for node definition.
The method to use to do general hardware management of the node. This
attribute is used as the default if power or getmac is not set. Valid
values: openbmc, ipmi, blade, hmc, ivm, fsp, bpa, kvm, esx, rhevm. See the
power attribute for more details.
I think for your node: mgt=ipmi
Thanks,
Casandra

Good catch, Casandra. Unfortunately, after fixing it, no change.

Subject: [xcat-user] Stateless node - can't get it to boot image
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a new cluster with stateless nodes, but whatever I
do, I can only seem to get it to boot to the genesis image.
I set up my node manually (no discovery); the node does not have IPMI,
BMC - just plain PXE. The node does get the correct IP from the DHCP
server.
My hunch is that my problem is related to the node's chain attribute, but
I am not sure what to set there. Most people seem to set
"runcmd=bmcsetup,shell" but since I don't have a BMC, that's probably not
the correct setting for me.
Or maybe my problem is somewhere different?
Here is my node definition:
Object name: hpccn-001
arch=x86_64
groups=compute,all
initrd=xcat/osimage/hpccn-netboot-image/initrd-stateless.gz
installnic=mac
ip=192.168.101.3
kernel=xcat/osimage/hpccn-netboot-image/kernel
mac=52:54:00:f2:e6:39
netboot=xbna
nichostnamesuffixes.eth0=-compute
nichostnamesuffixes.eth2=-imm
nicips.eth0=192.168.100.3
nicips.eth2=192.168.101.3
os=rhels7.4
postbootscripts=otherpkgs,confignics
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles,setupntp
primarynic=mac
profile=hpccn
provmethod=hpccn-netboot-image
serialport=0
serialspeed=115200
status=shell
statustime=10-30-2017 08:37:51
And the osimage definition:
Object name: hpccn-netboot-image
exlist=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.exlist
imagetype=linux
osarch=x86_64
osdistroname=rhels7.4-x86_64
osname=Linux
osvers=rhels7.4
otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/rhels7.4/x86_64
otherpkglist=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.otherpkgs.pkglist
partitionfile=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.cfglocaldisk
permission=755
pkgdir=/install/rhels7.4/x86_64
pkglist=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.pkglist
postinstall=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.postinstall
profile=hpccn
provmethod=netboot
rootimgdir=/install/netboot/rhels7.4/x86_64/hpccn
synclists=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.synclist
The node gets the correct IP address from DHCP, and xnba booting works,
but then goes to the genesis kernel (which either stops booting, or goes
to the shell if I add chain=shell), as the Apache log file shows:
