What does prescripts table look like for the node? (tabdump prescripts).
In the case where you expect "boot" section to be called, you suppose to
issue the "nodeset <nodes> boot" command. Then, does the script ever get
called in this case? If it does, what is the value for ${ACTION} ?

What was attempted that failed?
The behavior is that rinstall/winstall are just simple shell scripts. Upon
completion of install, the next entry in chain.currchain is used as the
argument to 'nodeset' (effectively).
For example:
nodeset <noderange> runmcd=bmcsetup
nodech <noderange> chain.currchain=osimage=blah,boot
Would cause bmcsetup, then deployment of blah, then boot to storage.

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.
