Youssef, We have never tested with i386, but I think long as these i386 nodes support ipmi and you provision then with one of the supported OSes, xCAT should be able to boot them in diskless mode.

A large part of one cluster I work with consists of legacy i386 nodes that I would like to boot in diskless mode to migrate data to newer machines. I see that the xCAT support matrix does not mention i386, so would it be advisable to look for a solution that does not involve xCAT, or could it somehow still be possible to handle diskless i386 with xCAT? Thanks in advance for any pointers.
