/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/<nodename>)

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] Netboot process stuck

Hi everyone,

I've setup various nodes to netboot image but one of them stuck in boot

Notice that the boot process is slow.

The machine has the following configuration:
2x Intel Xeon E5-2670
256GB RAM
Motherboard Supermicro X9DRG-HF
HDD 1TB
Mellanox Infiniband ConnectX-3 card (MT27500)
GPGPU nVidia Tesla M2075

I removed all off-board cards and HDD. The boot process stays stuck in the same 
stage. I installed CentOS 7 minimal ISO on HDD and the problem did not occur.

Regards,
