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

-c cd /tmp/ddtmpwWNUmJC/modules; find . -print | cpio -o -H crc |

cpio -o -H crc
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!
