Hi Frank, I'm setting up xcat on sle15sp3 right now and also encountered that issue.
You need to install "insserv-compat" so that system can start xcatd. The next issue I've run into is: test:~ # xcatprobe xcatmn [mn]: Checking all xCAT daemons are running... [ OK ] [mn]: Checking xcatd can receive command request... [FAIL] [mn]: Attribute 'xcatdport' in 'site' table is set to 3001, but xcatd isn't listening on 3001 [mn]: Attribute 'xcatiport' in 'site' table is set to 3002, but xcatd isn't listening on 3002 =================================== SUMMARY ==================================== [MN]: Checking on MN... [FAIL] Checking xcatd can receive command request... [FAIL] Attribute 'xcatdport' in 'site' table is set to 3001, but xcatd isn't listening on 3001 Attribute 'xcatiport' in 'site' table is set to 3002, but xcatd isn't listening on 3002 Although lsdef is working fine. I've tracked this down to xcatmn using 'netstat' to check the port status, and sle15sp3 no longer contains netstat. This needs to be raised as a bug.

The release nodes seems to state that sles15 is supported: (https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/wiki/XCAT_2.16_Release_Notes). Anyway a test installation instance failed to start with ?xcatd[6834]: Error, don't know how to start on this platform? I guess sles15 maps to sles15.0? Does anyone know which sles15.x can be used for the server instance? Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried running "xcatprobe xcatmn" to see if there is some environment configuration problem ?
