Unfortunately this does not work. The destiny.pm file seems to only have an option for ":reboot4deploy".

Please advise, thanks!

Doing this with xCAT 2.8.3 results in the following error on the node's console:

"Unrecognized directive <error> "


Please advise.
Thanks!

    Did you try to add the '--noupdateinitrd' as a parameter like
    'osimage=xxx --noupdateinitrd' in chain table? It should work.

    Hi all,

    Every time a cluster is redeployed with a diskfull osimage, it
    takes a very, very long time due to it rebuilding the initrd for
    every single node to include our custom drivers. Example:

    [root@master ~]# ps aux | grep cpio
    root     22435  0.0  0.0  11296  1288 ?        S    11:07 0:00 sh
    -c cd /tmp/ddtmpmH2w9vo/modules; find . -print | cpio -o -H crc |
    gzip -9 > /tmp/ddtmpmH2w9vo/initrd_img/modules/modules.cgz 2>&1
    root     22437  0.0  0.0   8420   712 ?        S    11:07 0:00
    cpio -o -H crc
    root     23258  0.0  0.0  11296  1288 ?        S    11:13 0:00 sh
    -c cd /tmp/ddtmp8zxIDN9/modules; find . -print | cpio -o -H crc |
    gzip -9 > /tmp/ddtmp8zxIDN9/initrd_img/modules/modules.cgz 2>&1
    root     23260  0.0  0.0   8420   716 ?        D    11:13 0:00
    cpio -o -H crc
    root     23282  0.0  0.0  11296  1284 ?        S    11:14 0:00 sh

    gzip -9 > /tmp/ddtmpxPdAop2/initrd_img/modules/modules.cgz 2>&1

    I know there is a flag for nodeset to tell it to not rebuild the
    initrd, but this doesn't help with an osimage install that is done
    via chain. Is there a way to tell xCAT to just build the initrd
    once, and not rebuild it over and over again for each individual
    compute node when it encounters the osimage install via the chain
    table?

    Thanks!
