Re: [xcat-user] Starting xcatd Error in GnuTLS initialization: Failed to acquire random data.

[Song BJ Yang]

hi Pharthiphan Asokan,

 

the error message "SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded" is thrown out by openssl due to lack of random source and seed file on the node. Please check the openssl version on your management node, and check the existence of random devices by `ls -l /dev/*random` and seed file by `stat ~/.rnd`

Hi,

 

I start getting that following error while chaning the rootdir for diskless client.

 

chdef -t osimage -o centos7.4-netboot rootimgdir=/install/netboot/centos7.4/x86_64/centos7.4-netboot

Unable to open socket connection to xcatd daemon on localhost:3001.

Verify that the xcatd daemon is running and that your SSL setup is correct.

Connection failure: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded at /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/Client.pm line 282.
