Hi Dave, Another thing I can think of is, have you check if cmgmt1 can be resolved on your compute node? Basically you need to set site.nameservers=<mn's ip>, site.domain=<your domain name>, then after makedhcp, the nameserver/domain value will be set in your dhcp server configuration, so after the compute node is installed, the dhcp server will create /etc/resolv.conf on your compute node so that the compute node will know the mn is its name server, and the search path is your domain.

I will take a look at the syslog tomorrow when I am back in the office to see if I see anything that could be helpful that I may have missed. Given that the node can install fine when being set to one profile, but not another, what other things outside of DNS and iptables could cause the management node to not be able to receive (or reply) to the flag my node is apparently failing to send? 2011/12/8 Xiao Peng Wang <[email protected]> updateflag.awk is used to send a request to xcatd to indicate that installation/netboot has been finished. The 'updateflag.awk MN 3002' will be called for diskfull installation and 'updateflag.awk $MASTER 3002 "installstatus booted"' should be for the diskless boot. So you case was a diskfull installation, right? For the debugging, you need to check whether the process 'xcatd: install monitor' has been started on MN, it is used to handle the request from the updateflag.awk. Also you can try to get some hints from syslog: 1. whether 'nodeset next' command was called? 2. Search the message from node with tag 'xcat'. You also could try to debug into the do_installm_service in the xcatd. See the code to handle the 'ready', 'next' ...

I have a node who is running it's postscripts properly (as far as I can tell), but then hangs at updateflag.awk. The specific line that it seems to hang at and is showing in ps xf is: /bin/awk -f updateflag.awk cmgmt1 3002 That's all that is in the processes line, there is no actual command after the 3002. Even more puzzling is in /tmp/mypostscript.post, the following line does not exist at the very end, while it does on other nodes who installed properly: updateflag.awk $MASTER 3002 "installstatus booted" I can resolve both the node and it's master forwards and backwards. This node also installs just fine when I give it a different profile, so there is either something in the OS it is installing (centos 5.4) or one of my postscripts in this profile that is causing the issue, but I don't know how to continue troubleshooting this problem when the issue does not appear to be DNS related. Usually problems like this are caused by DNS. What would cause mypostscript.post to not have the installstatus line at the bottom? Does this line get written to that file after a certain "something" happens? Any thoughts on logs or something I can look at that would cause this behavior?
