Hi developers,
What is the "official" status of ARM support? With nvidia's Grace systems,
that support has become more important than ever for us.
It looks like perhaps the pull request that was made hasn't been merged yet
as best I can tell.

Glad to know that worked! We have some GH nodes coming in as well. If we
can stick to xcat we definitely want to do that.
Hope to see these changes merged and "officially" supported soon.

How large is the xcat repository? If there's any concern about opening up
rsync causing a bandwidth or availability issue, maybe the community could
come together to host a few public mirrors with rsync access, and I'd be

Hi all,
Every time a cluster is redeployed with a diskfull osimage, it takes a
very, very long time due to it rebuilding the initrd for every single
node to include our custom drivers. Example:
[root@master ~]# ps aux | grep cpio
root 22435 0.0 0.0 11296 1288 ?S11:07
You can easily add files to the Genesis image, we've added quite a bit,
especially the LVM commands that were missing.
Drop them into /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis in the right
filesystem path, then re-run mknb.

/var/log/messages on the Management Node during this to see if
you are seeing errors from xcatd on the service node.

Hi all,
What is the purpose behind having the service nodes regenerate their
dhcp.leases file on startup of the xcatd service? Is there an option for
disabling this feature? Our leases are already generated for the nodes,
so each time the xcatd process is restarted it causes a 1+ hour outage

./runme.sh: line 2: ./cli: not found
Used version of xCat:
lsxcatd -v
Version 2.7 (svn r11882, built Fri Mar 16 06:32:39 EDT 2012)
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
We are seeing pretty consistently that when 50+ diskless nodes are
booted against the same single service node, before showing their login
console they all hang for around 5-10 minutes after postscripts run
while the service node is chugging away at using a constant 100% of a

We do exactly this using runimage's first. We just chain it so that
the nodes configure their controller and partitions how we need it,
reboot, then either install / download the OS

I have a strange issue with a CentOS 5 compute node that is in a

reverse resolution, network configuration, etc, and the node should have

I've forced the node to

I've figured out what it is. site.nodestatus got set to 0 in our
configuration. This seems to have a side effect of making diskfull nodes
enter an install loop.
Is this expected behavior?

Hi all,
We are noticing that with a service node that is responsible for around
5000 nodes, restarting xcatd takes over an hour and a half due to how
long it takes to generate the dhcp.leases file. This appears to be tied
to how slow omapi is. In xCAT 2.3, it only took about 20 minutes to
