Ennio,
Looking at xCAT code, it seems that nodeset command tries to find
"vmlinuz", "initrd.img" or several ".gz" and ".vgz" files under packagedir.
xCAT expects those files to be either under "$pkgdir/images/pxeboot" or
"$pkgdir/isolinux" or "$pkgdir".
These locations seems to have been last updated for VMware ESXi 4.1
On your system under *path*/esxi7.0.3/x86_64/, can you find "vmlinuz" or
"initrd.img", or "vmkboot.gz" or "vmkernel.gz" ?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] Configure node for VMWare system esxi7.0
Hi,
I would need to know how to configure a Vmware esxi7.0 node on xcat.
When I type the command "nodeset *name* osimage=vhost-esxi7.0.3" I get
"Error: Install image not found in *path*/esxi7.0.3/x86_64/"
The iso is VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0U2a-17867351.x86_64 then worked with
the copycds command for the directory *path*/esxi7.0.3/x86_64/
I tried to search the documentation for an esxi node but I didn't find
anything explanatory and conclusive.
Is it possible to configure a os=esxi7.0.3 with Version 2.15.1 of xcat?
I am available to provide you with further details if necessary
Thank you so much,
Ennio
