The node successfully gets its IP from DHCP at bootup. I can wireshark to verify this but I don’t believe it is a DHCP issue. I tried 2 different nodes when in this state and both exhibit the same behavior (getting stuck trying to http get). I found someone with a similar issue with the web server, but unfortunately, no fix. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21849794/apache2-runs-fine-for-a-while-then-stops-serving-content-error-when-restarting

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 ?

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. _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
