Hi,

You have to build your own kit.
To help you will find in attachment a buildkit.conf to build your own
mpss3.3 kit.
Before that you will have to:
- download mpss3.1 xCAT kit and replace the buildkit.conf by the one in
attachment and rename directory with 3.3 version
- download archive
http://registrationcenter.intel.com/irc_nas/4433/mpss-3.3-linux.tar

After that :
- unpack mpss-3.3-linux.tar
- copying rpm kernel modules corresponding to your system in mpss-3.3
(where glic rpm are)

Follow the steps here :
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Managing_MIC_%28Intel_Xeon_Phi%29_nodes/#build-kit-for-mpss

For information you will encounter some minor bugs with recent version of
mpss in xCAT mic command.
I will send patch later due to lack of time now.

Regards,
Cedric.
