Hi all, I am in the process of setting up xCAT to deploy some Ubuntu hosts - right now I am testing in a VMware ESXi environment with PXE boot enabled, but once I've got things working this will be rolled out beyond this.
I have deployed xCAT on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS using "go-xcat" - no errors were seen during install and here is the version detail: root@xcat1:~# lsxcatd -a Version 2.13.2 (git commit dab564dd7f23cb8bc46119f11d235de33c57802a, built Wed Feb 22 22:44:48 EST 2017) This is a Management Node dbengine=SQLite I have been following the guide here: https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Ubuntu_Quick_Start to get my off the ground and running - the only difference is I am using Ubuntu 16.04 so I've substituted that where applicable. All steps in the guide I have completed with no issues or errors up until the point where I am trying to build cn01 (I've kept my test system names the same for ease - again this will be extended in the future). When I try to ready the system for build, I get the following: root@xcat1:~# rsetboot cn01 net cn01: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant tables: nodehm.power,mgt;nodehm.mgt root@xcat1:~# nodeset cn01 osimage=ubuntu16.04.1-x86_64-install-compute cn01: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant tables: noderes.netboot=(grub2[-]?.*);nodehm.mgt I note that the nodehm table has nothing in it: root@xcat1:~# tabdump nodehm #node,power,mgt,cons,termserver,termport,conserver,serialport,serialspeed,serialflow,getmac,cmdmapping,consoleondemand,comments,disable However I don't believe I have skipped any steps. Have I missed something fundamental, or is there something I can do to rectify this? At this stage I don't want to worry about hardware management - I have no IPMI or HMC right now - I just want to network boot my servers from xCAT. Again in future IPMI will be added, but that's to come. Please can someone help me work out how to proceed?
