You're correct that copycds is missing from the write up, and I don't see it mentioned in the "Install xCAT" link. It could be done at any time after xCAT is installed on the new MN.
As for "static groups," are you referring to xCAT groups? If so, those should be restored from the xCAT DB dump. OS groups, would come from the /etc/group file (though I would NOT just overwrite the new one - system GIDs aren't guaranteed to be the same from install to install, and overwriting them can cause big headaches.)

I am following this link , https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/migration/migration.html , and I see everything that needs to be done here, but I don't see any mentions about when / how to restore the OS images and static groups that I have. Should I run copycds to install all the OS images and create the static groups manually after installing xcat rpms to the new node and then restore all the files ( as mentioned in steps 1.1 through 1.11?) ? Or should I do something else? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
