Could it be that DHCP lease for this node has expired after a few days ?
While this node is hanging, trying to get the image from the server, are
you able to provision a different diskless node with the same OS image ?

Subject: [xcat-user] xCat Diskless booting - http server doesn't respond
I have xcat deployed on a CENTOS 6.8 node as my management node. The nodes
were booting fine but some changes were made to the server. I don’t have
the details of the changes but I am having an isse with xcat now. If the
server is left running for a few days, if a diskless node is rebooted, it
can no longer get its image from http. It hangs at getting the image
forever with dots after the http get. i.e
http://172.20.0.11/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/..... And the dots go on
forever. If I reboot the management node, the diskless clients can
immediately get their image, but after a few days, it stops working again.
Httpd service is running. Not sure what to check for debug and was hoping
for some direction to start troubleshooting. Thanks.
