Hi xcat user-list,

I want to use xcat to update firmware on IBM bladecenter hardware  
together with a BoMC created image. I created an unattended firmware  
install image with the bootable media creator, that is e. g. called  
hs23.iso

My question is: How can I turn that image into a (temporary) bootable image?

So here's what I thought I would do:

* run "nodeset bladenode netboot=hs23.iso"
* rpower bladenode reset
* nodeset bladenode "back-to-whatever-it-was"
* rpower bladenode reset

The wikipage  
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Updating_Firmware_with_Bootable_Media_Creator
 suggests that I'm not all wrong. However this is what  
happens:

Running nodeset bladenode netboot=hs23.iso results in:
        Error: Did you run "genimage" before running "packimage"? kernel  
cannot be found
        Error: Some nodes failed to set up netboot resources, aborting

Which I didn't!

Running nodeset bladenode netboot=toolscenter-x86_64-bomc (as  
suggested in the docs page) results in:
Error: Unavailable or unrecognized IBM ToolsCenter image in  
//install/netboot/toolscenter/x86_64/bomc
Error: Some nodes failed to set up netboot resources, aborting

So can I my copy my (working!!) bootable image to  
/install/netboot/toolscenter/x86_64/bomc/ and make it somehow usable?  
Is what I want to do possible?

(Oh, behind a firewall so I can't follow the docs...)

Dirk
