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.

Valletta 8-3/B10 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Steven Presser <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Date: 02/09/2013 06:01 PM 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.
