We have not tested deploying ubuntu nodes from a rhel mgmt node. At the very least, you need to build your stateless image on an ubuntu node (not the rhel mgmt node), following https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start#Building_an_Image_for_a_Different_OS_or_Architecture . But even after doing that i can't guarantee you won't run into other problems.
