Hi Karl,

There has been some initial investigation done into supporting ARM with
xCAT but there is no plan to officially add ARM support to xCAT at this
time.
The xCAT project will consider accepting community contributions in this
area if anyone is interested in trying to pursue it further.

Good afternoon,

I noted on your supported hardware matrix (
https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/overview/support_matrix.html)
that there appears to be no support for ARM.  I’m writing to you to ask if,
or perhaps when, you will be porting current xcat binaries into an ARM
environment (under whatever O.S distro you prefer)?

And, in a related question, if a supported xcat server is equipped with
aarch64 (ARM) binary ISO images of standard Linux distros, and an ARM node
is plumbed to the management network, and is configured to support PXE
booting onto bare metal servers, could xcat support such servers?

Thanks for your answer,

Karl Bendorf
