Just a small updates:
one of the other machines (same hardware has cloud-cm15, Lenovo System x3650
M4) is currently having the same issue after client rebuilt it to rhel 7.4
manually, built by booting it off a USB and installing the OS (since as another
issue that remote xCat tools were failing).
But we’ve noticed that while the Machine is booting that the rcons session can
see the boot process however once it’s at OS it is doing the same issue.
Tao also requested a copy of /proc/cmdline @ cloud-cm15.
# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/system-root ro
crashkernel=auto vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 biosdevname=0
vconsole.keymap=us rd.lvm.lv=system/root rhgb quiet net.ifnames=0
LANG=en_US.UTF-8’'
———
* '/proc/cmdline’ don't have paramter like `console=ttyS0,115200`
———
* rcons NOT working on nodes running on x3650 M4 HW.
———
cloud-cm15 was built using the following commands:
nodeset cloud-cm15 osimage=rhels7.4-x86_64-stateful-cloud
rsetboot cloud-cm15 net
rpower cloud-cm15 boot
———
# tabdump chain | grep cloud-cm15
#node,currstate,currchain,chain,ondiscover,comments,disable
"cloud-cm15","shell","boot",,,,
———
# cat /etc/conserver.cf <http://conserver.cf/> | grep cloud-cm15
#xCAT BEGIN cloud-cm15 CONS
console cloud-cm15 {
exec /opt/xcat/share/xcat/cons/ipmi cloud-cm15;
#xCAT END cloud-cm15 CONS
———
# lsdef cloud-cm15 | grep serial
serialport=0
serialspeed=115200
Looping in jared per Tao suggestion.
Thank you.
