Sorry, forgot to also mention that it takes a while for them all to leave the Genesis DHCP message "Acquired IPv4 address...." before they actually run the script. When they do get past that and start running the script it seems they all do it fairly simultaneously.

How long it takes to finish a 'nodeset <node> osimage> command?

From the syslog, did you see all the nodes get hanging in nextdestiny for a while before getting into deployment process (10 minutes?)? Or you saw the nodes got into deployment process one by one with a fixed interval (what was the interval?).

 
Thanks
Best Regards

There is just 2 tasks, a runimage and an osimage.

chain.currchain=osimage, and chain.currstate=runimage=
http://master/install/script.tgz.

The image is available to be downloaded. A nodeset on a single node completed immediately.

    What's the value of chain.currchain and chain.currstate for nodes when you saw that a lot of processes hang in 'nextdestiny' request?


    What I can think of is the 'nextdestiny' will try to check the http download path of 'runimage', could you check the path is accessible from xCAT MN? And could you run 'nodeset <node> runimage=xxx' to see how much time it takes to finish?

    [xcat-user] Bad performance with 70 nodes requesting nextdestiny



    Hi all,

    My management node is experiencing a spike of over 60 load when I boot
    70 nodes at once and request a runimage of them. Doing a "ps aux" shows
    high iowait and what appears to be a perl process for nextdestiny
    running for each node. We had this same issue under xCAT 2.3, and was
    under the hopeful impression that performance was increased with xCAT
    2.8 and nextdestiny behavior.

    After about 10 minutes it seemed to have chewed through the requests and
    the nodes continued their respective chained commands. Is there a way of
    improving the way the management node handles nextdestiny requests from
    10's of nodes at once?


    Thanks!
