Re: [xcat-user] postscript not run after install?

2012-07-25 Thread Guang Cheng Li
Since you already ran updatenode, then everything in /tmp/wget.log and /var/log/xcat/xcat.log should already be right. Do we still have nodes that just finished the os installation and have not run updatenode? the /tmp/wget.log and /var/log/xcat/xcat.log should include useful hints. Thanks, --

So the issue is that the xnba can work fine.  The problem is the linux image that subsequently loads lacked the driver update.  In an ideal world, we make an efi executable that does everything in UEFI that is moderately future proof.  In a practical world we work with the much richer linux toolset

Okay, we will be doing an upgrade of xCAT soon. I just wanted to double check. P.S. Can you take a crack at answering that gPXE/UNDI question? On Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 1:37 PM, Jarrod B Johnson wrote: > Hmm, with xcat 2.7.3 you should be pulling in the 'xCAT-genesis' packages > that replace the e

Thanks for the information Lissa. I do have another more general question as well though. It is regarding the xnba boot image itself, which appears to be based off of gPXE. The idea of gPXE is that it is UNDI-capable and does not have to use TFTP to serve the images correct? And looking at the xnb

Version 2.3.x has not been supported for a long time. You need to be on the latest level of 2.6 for support , but you might as well go to the latest release which is 2.7.3. You can upgrade xCAT and stay at your current Centos level. Lissa K. Valletta 2-3/T12 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293

Hello, When I power on a node, discovery works fine the mac address is added to table mac, and /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases is updated. The node renews its IP address changing the discovery address by its final address, but then it loops forever with an Unrecognized directive coming from /bin/

In fact make sure all files in the /install/postscripts directory and subdirectories are world readable. This can cause a failure that will show up in the wget.log that Guang Cheng Li asked for below. Thanks! Lissa K. Valletta 2-3/T12 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Lis

Do the postscripts you added to /install/postscripts have the correct permission. They must be world-readable and executable at least by root. Check against our postscripts, something like -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9869 Jul 3 09:50 syslog Also run lsdef what is in the postscripts attribute? L
