Kevin, I logged in to mysql as root user and ran the command you provided. It took and heres the output of show grants (from the head node)
MariaDB [(none)]> show grants for xcatadmin@10.4.0.2; +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Grants for xcatadmin@10.4.0.2 | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'xcatadmin'@'10.4.0.2' | | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xcatdb`.* TO 'xcatadmin'@'10.4.0.2' | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) When trying to login to the database from the service node, the password wasn't working anymore, so I re-entered the command adding 'IDENTIFIED BY '<password>' to the end and that allowed me to connect as xcatadmin from the servicenode manually. However, starting up the service still fails with the same error: Oct 23 11:15:31 service01 xcat[18341]: Could not connect to the database. Database handle not defined.
