Hey Steve,

I've not used 2.7 yet but 2.6 has an atftp that is installed from xcat's repos.

Mine is: atftp-xcat-0.7-10.x86_64

And it installs itself as a separate service: /etc/init.d/tftpd

chkconfig tftpd on

may fix your issue on boot and of course:

/sbin/service tftpd start

would probably fix it on a booted system.

Hey all,
I'm setting up a fresh install of xcat 2.7.3. Everything was going okay, right up until I booted my test node. It wasn't able to fetch the image via tftp. A little investigation revealed tftp wasn't actually running:
# ps ax | grep tftp
10530 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep tftp

Here's what I see when restarting xcatd:
# service xcatd restart
Restarting xCATd Stopping xCATd                            [ OK  ]

And version info (CentOS):
# uname -a

An old thread I found suggested I might be running the wrong tftp server. However, when I tried removing atftp, yum told me that xcat depended on it. Barring confirmation from someone more knowledgeable than I that I should try that, messing with it seems ill-advised.
So:  Does anyone know what is wrong here?  Any suggestions for fixing it?

Thank you very much,
Steve
