lsdef works fine We ended up reinstalling xcat from scratch because it looked like there was some kind of problem with the xcat data base.
However after reinstalling and configuring xcat again we still cannot deploy a compute node. It goes into PXE and then stops immediately, doing nothing. The xcatprobe -osdeploy command only says « via tftp download xcat/xnba.kpxe » and « stop at stage download bootloader ». The mentioned kpxe file doesn’t exist for some reason. On another cluster this file is present, and I don’t think we did something special to generate it. Is there a way to generate properly all files related to pxe boot ?
