I am running xCAT 2.8. My imgcapture does not accept the -t option. My osimage has a provmethod of statelite. I changed it to diskless, but get the same result.
Thank you for looking into this! /Lindsay On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 1:12 PM, Lissa Valletta <[email protected]> wrote: > What level of xCAT are you running. > > I wonder if this is simply a input parameter issues.

But imgcapture is failing.
