xcat 2.16
thanks. Upgrade from 2.15 to 2.16 must have changed something in the
kickstart template file. We solved it by setting
rootpw <password> in the template file.
Also, the host I was trying to build, it had that template profile cached,
I had to remove the host profile and re-create it. then I was able to
build the node.
Also, it looks like the upgrade replaced
the /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.pkglist file , I
wish it did not touch that file in upgrades. I had to get it off my
backup. :-)
Anyways, thanks for all your help today. I learned something new for xcat
today. Live and learn!

Hi Casandra,
I suppose you were talking about adding a 'cryptmethod' to the passwd
table? correct? I did that, and it didn't work.
[root@hpc3-xcat-1 backup-hpc3-xcat-1]# tabdump passwd
#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"omapi","xcat_key","NUY4TWhCVnpkOWE5eVFQVWJ5QnJwOGxNY0FrbTY3MUY=",,,,
"system","root","mypassw0rd","sha512",,,
I still get the error message, line 130 of the kickstart file being an
issue.
I have the following in line 130:
rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password#
thanks

Hi,
So I added the following in the passwd table. (Please note that I
removed part of the hash)
#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"omapi","xcat_key","NUY4TWhCVnpkOWE5eVFQVWJ5QnJwOGxNY0FrbTY3MUY=",,,,
"system","root","$6$rGLFuCxxxxxxxxx",,,,
I still get the same error.
in my template
file, /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.tmpl,
line 130 looks like the below.
rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password#
what am I missing here ?
thanks

I did not have a password set for root all this time.
in version 2.16 , is this required now? How do I set a
root password in password table?
thanks.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] installs failing after

Hi,
I just upgraded from 2.15 to the latest 2.16 version of
xcat and now I am getting the following error message,
when i try to build a system.
Please see attached.
here is error message, as I read from the console.
A single argument is expected for the rootpw command.
This is
in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.tmpl
file and this is what line 129 looks like. this worked fine with xcat
2.15 .
rootpw --iscrypted
#CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password#
Can you please give me a hand with this?
thanks.
