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.

Cheers,

Matt

Hello all,

I?d like to run the xCAT server instance on sles15.3. 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.

Cheers,

-Frank Heckes

Frank,

Currently xCAT 2.16.3 supports SLES 15.1 on Power and SLES 15.2 on x86.

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