So I see missing and invalid setup Please go through this document and verify all the attributes for you node are created correctly. This document is good for any x-series setup. https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start
For example nodetype is invalid and you are missing mpa, mac, provmethod etc. Lissa K.

Though, I am new to xCAT. For instance networking is configured and works between the master and compute nodes, rpower can turn nodes off and on. The compute nodes all have CentOS 4 on them and I am trying to upgrade them to CentOS 6. The thing I can't do is rinstall a node. I get output like this: [root@mgmt01 ~]# rinstall node001 node001: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant tables: nodehm.mgt;noderes.netboot nodeset node001 failure nodeset failure at /opt/xcat/bin/rinstall line 164.
