What it is  talking about there is  setting   the chain table currchain
attribute to boot during nodeset.   To understand the chain table look at
the doc  link below.   We are always working on improving the
documentation, so appreciate the input.   It is always a balance between
writing docs, developing new function and test.    We do understand how
important good documentation is to the users.

Subject:        [xcat-user] Documentation! (nodeset documentation is wrong)



Hi all,

I have a piece of software I'm deploying into a cluster that requires
some setup be done on the head node.  In order to do so, I'm trying to
hook the nodeset command.  Per the nodeset command manpage:
"nodeset  is  called  by rinstall and winstall and is also called by the
        installation process remotely to set the boot state back to
"boot"."

This however, doesn't appear to be the case.  I can successfully hook
the node being set to install, but not it being returned to the boot case.

Since there has been discussion here about features for 2.9 and
documentation has come up, I thought I'd throw out that this is in fact
the second instance of something like this I've run across in the
process of setting up this software.  Please, please, PLEASE consider a
complete documentation revamp for 2.9.  Otherwise no matter what
features you have, people will be leaving for management systems where
they can count on the documentation being correct.
