Thanks!

We will set our chain behavior then to shell after everything is done so that they do not keep hitting the management node every 5 seconds for instructions.

Unfortunately we did not capture the full execution line of the perl process that was using 100% of a core, so I do not have that information to provide. If this occurs again, I will be sure to attempt to get the full process line and investigate a bit further.


Thanks again for the help!

In the latest code, xCAT does not support to set the query interval for the get next destiny (task).

If you set the runcmd=bmcsetup, the node will try to run the getdestiny to communicate with xcatd to get the next destiny every 5 seconds.
If you set the standby as the next destiny, it will sleep 15-30 seconds and try to get again.

So the question, what do you want the node to do after running of bmcsetup? If nothing to do, keep it to 'shell' is a good idea.

BTW, I am wondering that which perl process used 100% CPU resource?

Thanks
Best Regards
