Hello, Some more information. 1/ I was wrong when I said postscripts were not run, they are run. 2/ During install nodestat keeps saying "installing prep" which confirms that for one reason or another the node does not communicate its status to xcatd
Here is /tmp/mypostscript on n105 :

Could you give me the entire contents of /tmp/mypostscript file from the
node?
Also give lsdef <nodename>

Hello,
The MASTER variable is OK, but the block :
# subroutine used to run postscripts
...
# subroutine end
is missing
Any idea ?
Thank you for your help. Best regards,

Make sure that the site.master attribute is an ip address of hostname
that
will be resolvable during the install. The usual problem is the node
cannot contact the MN to tell it, it is finished.
On the node you can look at the /tmp/mypostscript file.
It should look something like the following. The last line is important,
because that is the we are finished line. But it cannot be sent to the
MN
unless $MASTER is an address that is resolvable on the node at that point.
If this file is empty, it is a pretty good sign that the node could not
contact the MN after install.

Subject: [xcat-user] Node keeps reinstalling
Hello,
We are tryoing to install an iDataplex cluster with SLES11 nodes.
The /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/n001 is not reset during installation so the
node keeps reinstalling itself. unless we type "nodeset n101 boot" before
it reboots. Any suggestion on what we have not configured ?
It does not run postscripts nor postbootscripts either.
We are running xcat 2.6.8 with xcat-dep-201111041626
Thank you for your help. Best regards,
