I think XCATROOT gets set by "sourcing" /etc/profile.d/xcat.sh
from /opt/xcat/sbin/xcatd and /opt/xcat/sbin/restartxcatd

After some looking around, it appears that the xcat daemon is not picking
up the XCATROOT environment variable. Looking at the system script, it
checks for a file /etc/sysconfig/xcat. This file does not exist, and I
cannot find it in the xCAT RPMs, so I’m not sure why it’s being called to.
Either way, adding XCATROOT=/opt/xcat, and restarting the daemon appears to
have resolved the issue.
Big question:
It’s still not clear what was causing xcatd to ignore XCATROOT. As I said,
the /etc/sysconfig/xcat file doesn’t appear in my xCAT rpms. Is it created
by a scriptlet or something?

When I run nodeset <node> osimage=rhels7.5-x86_64-install-compute

This is the default xCAT template that has been untouched. The XCATROOT
variable is set to /opt/xcat
