Hi,
Thanks for the help.
For now I didn't configure any hardware management for the compute nodes.
Initially the netboot option was xnba, and as explained, I start the node
VM with pxe boot, the VM gets it's IP then It downloads the
/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/cnode001 file, then when trying to download the
vmlinuz nothing happens, this is what I get from httpd access_log
10.10.2.61 - - [04/Sep/2018:13:17:28 +0100] "GET
/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/cnode001 HTTP/1.1" 200 447 "-" "iPXE/1.0.3-131028
(d603e)"
10.10.2.61 - - [04/Sep/2018:13:17:28 +0100] "GET
/tftpboot/xcat/osimage/centos7.5-x86_64-install-compute/vmlinuz HTTP/1.1"
200 6224704 "-" "iPXE/1.0.3-131028 (d603e)"
I switched to pxe, and the same problem
10.10.2.31 - - [05/Sep/2018:23:06:44 +0100] "GET
/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nets/10.10.2.0_24 HTTP/1.1" 200 241 "-"
"iPXE/1.0.3-131028 (d603e)"
10.10.2.31 - - [05/Sep/2018:23:06:44 +0100] "GET
/tftpboot/xcat/genesis.kernel.x86_64 HTTP/1.1" 200 5877760 "-"
"iPXE/1.0.3-131028 (d603e)"
The provisioning never happened, the process stopped here, the vmlinuz
never gets downloaded.
What I don't understand also is, why there is a difference on the booted
image between xnba and pxe???
When using xnba, the kernel from the osimage
centos7.5-x86_64-install-compute was used, and when using pxe the genesis
kernel was used.
[root@manager01 ~]# lsdef -t node cnode001
Object name: cnode001
arch=x86_64
currchain=boot
currstate=install centos7.5-x86_64-compute
groups=mynodes,compute,all
ip=10.10.2.61
mac=52:54:00:19:13:aa
netboot=pxe
os=centos7.5
postbootscripts=otherpkgs
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
profile=compute
provmethod=centos7.5-x86_64-install-compute
Regards.
