Hi all,
I am having an issue with xCAT that is causing me to pull my hair out:
xCAT version: 2.13.5
OS: CentOS 7.2
We are installing our nodes via PXE using xCAT. After installation
completes, the node hangs on reboot. After searching the archives, we
found that the proper resolution is to change
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<node_name> to the following:
#boot
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0
This works like a charm, so far so good. I edited
/opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/pxe.pm to reflect these changes. If I run
"nodeset <node_name> boot", it creates the file properly, as written
above. However! If I run "rinstall" on the node, when the installation
process completes, it changes the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<node_name> to:
#boot
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
LOCALBOOT 0
I have grepped all files involved in the process for this "LOCALBOOT 0"
string, and I have removed it from pxe.pm, and temporarily removed any
other files that have it. I cannot seem to figure out where this is
coming from. I searched the archives and see that another user reported
the same issue about 5 years ago, but never got a resolution? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Blake
