HI, The command name is "makeconservercf", not "mkconservercf". I searched the xCAT documentation wiki and updated all the references for "mkconservercf" to "makeconservercf". Thanks for pointing out this problem .

Oh k, figured out what the problem was.
Here's the solution (in case anybody bumps into the same issue):
- in kvm_nodedata, i had a reference to "br0". I changed the table and
updated to "virbr0" and it worked!
- as for the error i was having with listing the vms in my hypervisor,
it was because i did not have a valid entry in the "hypervisor" table:
[root@xcat bla]# tabdump hypervisor
#node,type,mgr,netmap,defaultnet,cluster,datacenter,preferdirect,comments,disable
"i11","kvm",,,,,,,,
"i12","kvm",,,,,,,,
By the way, i don't seem to have the "mkconservercf" command
(referenced in the "XCAT Virtualization with KVM" tutorial) in my
system. Any thoughts on that?
Best,
Luis
