on the site table,  turn on the  "xcatdebugmode"

chdef -t site xcatdebugmode=1

Did u try to run "updatenode" again for the current compute node? add
verbose "-V" to the option, should able to get more logs.


Thanks,
Casandra Qiu

Thanks, it’s good to know I’ve got a hundred or so copies with changes back
to 9/2017 on our compute nodes.
However even after restoring postscripts/hostkeys, postscripts/_xcat and
postscripts/_ssh and checking the
files we created are still there, the diskless boot still fails:
Mon Jul  2 10:27:35 EDT 2018 [info]: xcat.xcatdsklspost: trying to download
postscripts...
Mon Jul  2 10:28:14 EDT 2018 [err]: xcat.xcatdsklspost: failed to download
the postscripts from the xCAT server for node node552.oscar.ccv.brown.edu


I will try restoring all the changed scripts, but would like to know at
what point it decided it was a failure.
All the /xcatboot files seem to be there.   I tried prepopulating
the /etc/ssh directory in the image, but that didn’t help.

Where do I turn up the debugging?

Thanks!

      hi David Johnson,

      In the scenario you described, I think xCAT installation will affect
      the stuff under  `/install/postscripts`
      1) files with the same name with the files under
      `/install/postscripts` shipped by xCAT will be overwritten
      2) the credentials under "/install/postscripts/hostkeys",
      "/install/postscripts/_xcat" and "/install/postscripts/_ssh/" and
      "/install/postscripts/ca/" will be overwritten

      You can restore the original "/install/postscritps" directory  with
      the "/xcatpost" directory on the compute nodes(non-hierarchy cluster)
      or service nodes(hierarchy cluster) which are not provisioned after
      xCAT reinstallation with `go-xcat` accidentally.


      good luck

       Hi Dave,

       Thanks for reporting this, can you open a issue here?
       https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues
       If it's inconvenient, please let me know and I'll open one on your
       behalf.

       Thanks,

       I’m trying to set up a separate cluster with a new xcat master node,
       and downloaded and ran the go-xcat script.
       I realized afterwards that it had updated a whole bunch of files
       in /install, which I had forgotten was nfs-mounted
       from our main cluster’s master node.

       Right off the bat, I’m thinking there might be a problem with ssh
       keys, and ca.pem.
       Any other likely trouble spots?   I put all our netboot stuff
       in /install/custom, and we
       have added postinstall scripts rather than customizing ones from the
       distribution.

       I can probably go out to any of the nodes still running and grab
       individual files back.

       Thanks,
