Hi,
Need your helpful thoughts here with a problem we have, please.
We have nodes that were provisioned with xcat, they are running, OS is
working and installed. The boot order is set to PXE first, SSD 2nd.
Several days ago, when I rebooted one of the nodes, it went straight to PXE
discovery mode - attempting for an install. This is a node that is built,
it should have exited the PXE boot mode and boot off the disk, but it never
did.
I am not sure what's going on, it looks like xcat has lost the status of
the node, whether it is installed or not ( need provisioning?)
Here is the 'lsdef' output of the node:
```

```
Any idea what might be going on here? Why an already setup/installed node
is going back to discovery ( and wanting to be installed) mode?
Can someone please shed some light?
thanks a lot!
