xCAT team does not have experience to handle the 'Knight Landing' processor. Base on your description, looks like you were using the server which installed the bootable 'Knight Landing' processor, am I right?
 
Did you try to use xCAT to do a general OS installation for the 'Knight Landing' server? 
 
For your scenario, since the mac has been collected, could you run the 'nodeset' against the node and perform an OS deployment to see what will happen.
 
Please run 'lsxcatd -a' to show your xCAT version.
 

Thanks
Best Regards

I am trying to use xCAT to manage some Knights Landing Xeon Phis (KNL).

 

I am currently trying to use node discovery to configure one of them. After enabling legacy PXE, I reboot and it displays

 

Intel Boot Agent GE v1.5.78

 

When it displays “beginning discovery process”, I run nodediscoverstart on our xCAT server.

 

After a while, the correct MAC address is inserted in the xCAT database for the node. But the node never displays the usual message, “xCAT Genesis running on f078”. Instead, it loops and restarts the discovery process.

 

I am wondering if this process is supported on KNL.
