Sorry  -t is in the next release.  Could you give us lsdef of the node?
I am contacting people who know a  little more about imgcapture than I do.

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!

      What level of xCAT are you running.

      I wonder if this is simply a input parameter issues.  I assume xdsh
      rsa03 date runs ok.

      What if you run imgcapture rsa03 -t diskless -o osimage -i eth0 -n
      igb  -V

      I think looking at the man page for imgcapture,  you can only use -o
      osimage if you type is diskless.

      Folks,

      I would like to build a statelite image from an existing
      freshly-installed diskful system image (so the workflow will be build
      a gold image system, then capture, then build other systems
      statelite).  But imgcapture is failing.  When I run it, I get this
      message:

      # imgcapture rsa03 -o SL6-x86_64-statelite-cng2 -i eth0 -n igb  -V
      nodename is rsa03; os is SL6; arch is x86_64; profile is cng2
      bootif is eth0; netdriver is igb
      the output of "stat / -f |grep Type" on rsa03 is:
      rsa03:     ID: 87cd4ce061a2fd20 Namelen: 255     Type: ext2/ext3
      The file type is ext2/ext3
      The excludestr is "cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path
      "./proc/*" !
      -path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
      "./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c -
      >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312"
      running "echo -n > /tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312" on rsa03
      Capturing image on rsa03...
      running "cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./proc/*" ! -path
      "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
      "./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c -
      >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312"
      on rsa03 via the "xdsh" command
      Error: The "xdsh" command fails to run "cd /; find . ! -path
      "./tmp/*"
      ! -path "./proc/*" ! -path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path
      "./xcatpost/*" ! -path "./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c -
      >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312" on rsa03
      # echo $?
      1

      So obviously the xdsh command fails?  Let's try that directly (slight
      change to use another output file):

      # xdsh rsa03 'cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./proc/*" !
      -path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
      "./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c -
      >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15313'
      Error: rsa03: 4075749 blocks
      # echo $?
      0

      So it worked?  Or not?  How about running the command directly on
      rsa03:

      # xdsh rsa03 'cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./proc/*" !
      -path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
      "./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c - >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15314
      4075776 blocks
      gzip: / is a directory -- ignored
      4075776 blocks
      # echo $?
      0

      That looks like it worked.  So what failed?  I guess maybe something
      wrote to stderr (like the status messages)?
