Frank,

- Is this Power or x86 arch ?
- Is this diskfull or diskless install ?
- Do you have your own postbootscripts added to osimage or node definitions
or just running default xCAT's "otherpkgs" ?
- Have you tried running "updatenode" to see if the same error is
reported ?

Subject:        [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] node in erroneous state (2 problems)



Hi all,
I’m using version  Version 2.16.2 to install nodes utilizing SLES15 SP2.
After the installation completes with no installation errors reported
in /var/log/xcat/xcat.log on the node that had been installed and
in /var/log/xcat/computes, I see the following message
in /var/log/xcat/xcat.log:

Fri Aug 13 11:42:42 CEST 2021 [debug]: xcat.deployment.postbootscript: node
boot failed, reporting status...
Fri Aug 13 11:42:42 CEST 2021 [error]: xcat.deployment.postbootscript:
provision completed with error.(plato7)

Also, the node is tagged as failed in the node record. Does anyone has an
idea what cause this problem, or a hint how I can dig into it.
Unfortunately xcatdebugmode=2 don’t work for Sles15.2 as the password set
in passwd table for admin user isn’t applied and the procedure to login to
the node and run yast manually don’t work.

Many thanks for any help.
Cheers,
-Frank[attachment "smime.p7s" deleted by Mark Gurevich/Poughkeepsie/IBM]
