Hi Zhao,
thanks for doing this! I do have a few questions since I am not an expert
in working with genesis. ;-)
the procedure of installation as you mentioned, will it work with
xcat version 2.13.7 ? I have xcat 2.13.7 installed now in my LAB setup, I
am planning to upgrade very soon to version 2.13.8 . You also mentioned
that this update is based on version 2.13.9 . Is 2.13.9 release coming
soon?
[root@xcatmaster x86_64]# rpm -qa |grep -i xcat
ipmitool-xcat-1.8.18-0.x86_64
grub2-xcat-2.02-0.16.el7.snap201506090204.noarch

xCAT-probe-2.13.7-snap201709220216.noarch
We have some new systems with latest Intel X722 for 10GBASE-T NIC cards,
and I would like to incorporate the drivers into genesis. Arif has sent me
his instructions (thanks, Arif!) , but I was wondering if you guys can add
them to genesis with the 2.13.9 release?
thanks.
