Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Good xCAT Book
Russell,
Thank you. I have found this document and used it quite a bit so far. (I'm
converting RHEL6.4 to CENTOS6.5 in our cluster and it has helped me to
understand what was there and how to "do it right" to some extent.) It does
seem to be a bit dated, and doesn't seem to go into everything well. But it
does a good job, and is written to be understood, as opposed to written to
show how smart the author is.
Thanks again for the quick reply. I'm still going to need to be digging,
though.
Sincerely,
John W. Hosie III

This is a good start. It's a little bit old and does some things in a
different way than I would, but the overall information in it is great:

I'm working on a government contract to support an HPC environment
that uses xCAT. I've spent over 7 1/2 months working with a document
that really doesn't say much more than how to get hardware support
that was produced by the vendor who did the initial installation.
I've also used what I could find in Google. But, to tell you the
truth, none of it really seems to be all that "good". It tells me
about this or that implementation, and can be adapted to meet my
needs, but it takes time and effort that seems to be more than should
be necessary.
Now, it may be better than it once was. I'll give you that. But I'd
like to know if there is a good published document out there I can
look for, electronic or pulp, that I can use to give me better
guidance? What is there out there? And are there any sites you've run
across that might help me to fill in the gaps in my current
knowledge?
Don't get me wrong. I really do appreciate the pieces of
documentation I've found. I'd just like to find something that would
help me to be able to tie it all together better.
Sincerely,
John W. Hosie III
