yes, I also guess the DHCP might be the root cause. For discovery, we expect the node get the lease from the dynamic ip range like:

if everything is ok, `destiny=discover` will be passed to `doxcat` script inside genesis, you have no chance to see messages like:
xcat.genesis.doxcat: Running getdestiny --> 172.30.18.6:3001
xcat.genesis.doxcat: Received destiny=
xcat.genesis.doxcat: The destiny=, destiny parameters=
xcat.genesis.doxcat: Unrecognized directive (dest=)
xcat.genesis.doxcat: ... Will retry xCAT in 40 seconds
xcat.genesis.doxcat: ... Will retry xCAT in 30 seconds
So please check whether there is a lease for the MAC address of the node, if yes, please remove it.

Does is DHCP hand out the right information, and so is DNS working correctly? We saw exactly the same symptoms when we had a misconfiguration where DHCP was handing out incorrect information for the DNS servers, so DNS lookups did not work correctly.On Fri, 24 May 2019 at 21:34, Kevin Keane <kke...@sandiego.edu> wrote:Can you verify that there is traffic with something like tcpdump?_______________________________________________________________________

Maybe there is a problem with https?Check to see if you have a firewall enabled, and also use netstat -ltunp to check that something is actually listening on port 3001._______________________________________________________________________
