Hi Frank, After some investigation, we think this is still a problem in the most recent release (2.15.1). Using a postbootscript to set /etc/hostname is probably the best short term solution. Feel free to open an issue to https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core if you would like us to try to investigate a better long term solution.
Also, can you share the contents of your postbootscript with the mailing list for the benefit of others that might encounter this problem?

This lead to the boot problems (/etc/nsswitch.conf is configured to use ldap). Once I set the hostname via a postboot – script the problem is gone. Is this a bug for the current version, (too)?

After a successful installation with sles12.4 the node (dell R640) fails to boot from localdisk (see console log below). Does anyone has an idea about the error message from gPXE and how to workaround or solve it? Many thanks in advance.
