Is that preceeded by a lot of the same output over and over?  I see xnba 
downloading xnba, which should not be happening….  Dhcp should be doing a 
different offer…

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] UEFI installation problem

Hello,

I would like to install a intel server board S2600WT (BIOS version 
SE5C610.86B.01.01.0011 08/10/2015) using xcat with UEFI but I got the following 
error at the console:

xCAT Network Boot Agent
iPXE 1.0.3-131028 (d603e) -- Open Source Network Boot Firmare -- http://ipxe.org
Features: HTTP HTTPS iSCSI DNS TFTP EFI
net1: 90:e2:ba:a1:56:f4 using <NULL> on EFI SNP (open)

DHCP (net1 90:e2:ba:a1:56:f4) ...... ok
Next server: 148.187.xxx.xxx
Filename: xcat/xnba.efi

No more network devices
Could not boot image: Error 0x7f048002 (http:/ipxe/org/7f048002)
No more network devices

Currently I'm using xCAT 2.13 and following the server configuration:

Object name: server01
    arch=x86_64
    bmc=148.187.xxx.xxx
    bmcpassword=xxxxxx
    bmcusername=root
    cons=kvm
    currchain=boot
    currstate=install rhels7.4-x86_64-cscs_storage
    groups=all,cscs
    hostnames=server01.cscs.ch
    interface=eno1
    ip=148.187.xxx.xxx
    mac=90:e2:ba:a1:56:f4
    mgt=ipmi
    netboot=xnba
    nfsserver=148.187.xxx.xxx
    nodetype=osi
    os=rhels7.4
    postbootscripts=otherpkgs
    postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
    power=ipmi
    primarynic=eno1
    profile=cscs_storage
    provmethod=rhels7.4-x86_64-install-cscs_storage
    status=powering-on
    statustime=06-07-2018 15:49:19
    tftpdir=/tftpboot
    tftpserver=148.187.xxx.xxx

dhcp is configured as following:

host server01.cscs.ch {
    hardware ethernet 90:E2:BA:A1:56:F4; # 10G ETH0 NIC
    fixed-address 148.187.xxx.xxx;
    filename "xcat/xnba.efi";
    next-server 148.187.xxx.xxx;
}

When I ran "nodeset server01 osimage=rhels7.4-x86_64-install-cscs_storage"

The following 3 files are created in /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes :

server01
server01.elilo
server01.uefi

I'm suspecting a problem with the BIOS version but I'm not sure.

Thank you for any advice,

Carmelo Ponti
