Youssef, I don't have any experience using xCAT with i386 nodes, perhaps other members of the list can chime in if they have tried something similar.
What operating system are you intending to use for the diskless image? Are the nodes capable of network boot via PXE? Is your idea to boot into a simple diskless image so you can mount the local disks to copy the data off?

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.
