Just what I would expect:

Jul 28 10:44:50 sol-mgmt xCAT[16624]: xCAT: Allowing nodeset to c4u34
osimage=rhel6_c-x86_64-netboot-compute for root from localhost
The times are right on. I am looking through the xnba.pm module now. The value
that is getting set:
# cat /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/c4u34
#!gpxe
#netboot rhel6_c-x86_64-compute
LOCALBOOT 0
is the DEFAULT case in the IF statement. I am going to start putting in some
comment lines to see where it's hanging in the code. Maybe there is something
wrong with xcatd and the sqlite database files that's causing things to hang or
return incorrect data.
Any suggestions on what I should be looking for would be helpful.

Jarrod,
Sorry. The rsetboot isn't taking a long time. It's just nodeset that is. I
cut/pasted a group of commands into the terminal for the system I was working
on (nodeset, rsetboot, rpower) and it hung on nodeset. So, there is something
going wrong with nodeset. I have another xCAT iDataplex cluster (my testing
cluster) which I upgraded to 2.8.4 and it isn't having a problem:

Granted my test cluster is only a few nodes. But still, it's updating
everything correctly. I also noticed that the node I put through discovery on
2.8.4 showed discovery method as "UNDEF" according to nodediscoverls:
# nodediscoverls | grep c4u34
18F64EE1-3CC1-DF11-B526-E41F134D13C2 c4u34 undef
7323AC1 23DF198
Where are my other nodes show it as "switch":
# nodediscoverls | grep c4u33
0ED7839B-3FC1-DF11-B752-E41F134D42D8 c4u33 switch

Odd that rsetboot should take a long time. I assume something like rpower stat
also takes a long time?

________________________________
Good morning,
I upgraded xCAT via yum last week from 2.8.3 to to 2.8.4. Since then, if I
put a node (in this case a dx360M3) through discovery, discovery completes, but
if I then try and use nodeset to use toolscenter or set this diskless image on
the node (nodeset XXX osimage=), it isn't working.
I'm noticing that the nodeset and rsetboot commands are taking > 30 seconds
to complete and when I reboot the node, it just tries to boot from disk. A
little digging and it appears that nodeset isn't updating the underlying files
on /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/* like expected:
# /usr/bin/time -p nodeset c4u34 netboot=toolscenter-x86_64-bomc
c4u34: netboot toolscenter-x86_64-bomc
real 31.20
user 0.11
sys 0.03
# cat /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/c4u34
#!gpxe
#netboot toolscenter-x86_64-bomc
LOCALBOOT 0
# /usr/bin/time -p nodeset c4u34 osimage=rhel6_c-x86_64-netboot-compute
c4u34: netboot rhel6_c-x86_64-compute
real 49.85
user 0.12
sys 0.01
# cat /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/c4u34
#!gpxe
#netboot rhel6_c-x86_64-compute
LOCALBOOT 0
The long time makes me think it's hitting a timeout value and aborting. Did
I miss something with the upgrade to 2.8.4? I have no problems with 2.8.3 and
discovery is working on 2.8.4.
Thanks,
-Brad Viviano
