Hello Jarrod,
Nodeset m2 stat says : install respective osimage.
I apologize, but I have come to access the server physically at the data
center and I am replying from my mobile phone.
1. I have changed the netboot to xnba and removed the extra mac address and
kept the extra interface disabled.
It seemed to work and went ahead till downloading install.img , but then
restarted again without any info in the console messages or logs. It never
went to that stage again.
2. I added the second mac again to the node definition.
This time, it again tries to discover with the second interface with
messages as in my previous email and restarts.
3. I decided to physically access the server. Once onsite, I removed the
mac again and tried to do nodeset and power on the node.
I observed in the console log( not on the physical console ) , that this
time the server went past downloading install.img but halts with this
message.
" the following error occurred with your partitioning
You have not created a /boot/efi partition. "
I remember seeing this issue sometime in the forum, and believe this issue
is related to xnba.
May I know how do I resolve this issue.
I am not entirely sure, if the interface issue is solved or will creep up
once I enable booting from that interface.
I will try to research more and work on this.
Thank you for helping me on this.
Regards,
Lohit
