After the compute node is provisioned, does it have
the /xcatpost/mypostscript file ?
It should have a list of postscripts it will run. Something similar to:
# defaults-postscripts-start-here
run_ps postscript syslog
run_ps postscript remoteshell
run_ps postscript syncfiles
# defaults-postscripts-end-here
# postscripts-end-here

remoteshell is in the default postscripts in the postscripts table.
The node attempts to run mypostscript, but from the logs it takes less than
a second to complete, suggesting that the script is being executed but
returns immediately:
Thu Sep 3 13:32:20 BST 2020 [info]: xcat.deployment: running
mypostscript
+ /xcatpost/mypostscript
+ msgutil_r 172.19.22.1 info 'mypostscript
returned' /var/log/xcat/xcat.log xcat.deployment
+ local 'msgstr=mypostscript returned'
+ logger -n 172.19.22.1 -t xcat.deployment -p local4.info 'mypostscript
returned'
+ echo 'Thu Sep 3 13:32:20 BST 2020 [info]: xcat.deployment:
mypostscript returned'
We have reproduced this issue on two clusters (both at the same xCAT
version)

After the install you can look into /var/log/xcat/xcat.log on the compute
node to see if "remoteshell" is attempted to be executed.
You should see something similar to:
Wed Sep 2 03:58:50 EDT 2020 [info]: xcat.deployment.postscript:
postscript start..: remoteshell
Wed Sep 2 03:58:52 EDT 2020 [info]: xcat.deployment.postscript:
postscript end...: remoteshell return with 0

As a bit more of a followup:
No postscripts are running on stateful install, and so because
'remoteshell' isn't run, all of the other postscripts fail. We can SSH
into the node, provide the password and then run /xcatpost/remoteshell
which appears to work, as we can now SSH into the node without having to
provide a password, and postscripts can be run via 'updatenode'

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] postscripts on CentOS 8
Hi,
We've run into an issue with deploying CentOS 8.2 nodes (previously
CentOS7 cluster). The nodes will deploy, but postscripts aren't
being run.
Attempting to run them by hand gives an inconclusive result. On a
working node, running:
/xcatpost/mypostscript
runs as expected. Running on a CentOS 8.2 system:
++ . /xcatpost/xcatlib.sh
+++ declare -a array_nic_params
+++ declare -a array_extra_param_names
+++ declare -a array_extra_param_values
++ return_value=0
++ set +x
and that's it. Any clues what might be wrong?
