From: Dirk Gómez <d...@dirkgomez.de> To: xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net Date: 02/24/2014 10:46 AM Subject: [xcat-user] xcat and BoMC iso image 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...)
