[xcat-user] Adding kernel parameters to stateless images.

2012-12-07 Thread Viviano . Brad
Good morning, I've searched Google and the xCAT WIKI and just couldn't find the answer. If I missed the FAQ, sorry. I have an iDataplex cluster with GPFS and xCAT 2.7.6 (yum install) on RHEL 6.3. The GPFS nodes are stateless attached to a DS3500. We're having the RDAC / FC timing iss

Hi, The error is from getFacingIP function. This function takes a node name as an input. Then it find out the ip of the given node. Then it call "ifconfig" on the local host. Then it try to see if the node ip and local host is within the same subnet or not. (Please see the code below). The er

Ling, Thanks, but that is a no go. The first thing I tried was editing boot params. The value in bootparams gets reset when I do a "nodeset storage1 netboot". # lsdef storage1 | grep kcmdline kcmdline=imgurl=http://!myipfn!//install/netboot/rhel6_c/x86_64/storage/rootimg.gz XCAT=!

Thanks! DNS is working properly, both forward and reverse... this seems to occur mostly when entire clusters are booted at the same time. The nodes are not within the same subnet, all of these nodes are on different subnets from the service nodes (and routed of course). The other strange thi

Brad, You have a typo. It's "add_*k*_cmdline", not "addcmdline". Example: [root@xcat-mn ~]# chdef cn1 addkcmdline="rdloaddriver=scsi_dh_rdac" 1 object definitions have been created or modified. [root@xcat-mn ~]# lsdef cn1 Object name: cn1 *addkcmdline=rdloaddriver=scsi_dh_rdac* arch=x86_6

The error is given because the nodes are not in the same subnet as the service node, the script did not check for routing. The code uses this function to set up MASTER environmental variable for the node when calling postscripts. If it is not set up correctly some of the postscripts such as sys

I am not having much luck finding an xdsh command to run that succeeds. I get "permission denied" on the mgmt node for any command I try to run as root. On the service nodes, I am trying to follow the xdsh man page to just run a simple uptime and am getting: [root@service01 ~]# xdsh c26n24 "up

Also forgot to mention, we are *not* using the syslog postscript. Each node is responsible for their own logs. On 12/7/2012 2:45 PM, Russell Jones wrote: I am not having much luck finding an xdsh command to run that succeeds. I get "permission denied" on the mgmt node for any command I try to
