Good afternoon all, we'd like to mount our statelite root images from a different machine than our XCAT master. Are there any XCAT specific pitfalls I should be aware of and/or best practices I should try to follow?
I had hoped it would be as simple as adding an nfsserver entry to the noderes table and adjusting the rootimg dir in the osimage object. However, that didn't work out very smoothly. When I change the rootimgdir, I can no longer run liteimg since it looks for that image directory. When I try just changing the root image mount in the tftp file as a test, my node hangs when attempting to mount the root image. That latter problem may be nfs related and have nothing to do with xcat per se, but it seems like there must be a way to build/modify the image on the server, copy the image to another server, and then do the mount directly from there. However, I could be wrong on this ... lsxcatd -v Version 2.14.2 (git commit f2090565b1d1b8efa7558d034de0478456c38e4c, built Wed Jul 11 07:15:53 EDT 2018) Anyone tried to do something like this before?
