Hello Mark, 

Yes, I’ll open an issue and I think I found the problematic code section in the 
template file (/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/sles/compute.sle15.tmpl):

    <partitioning config:type="list">

      <!-- XCAT-PARTITION-START -->

      <drive>

        <device>XCATPARTITIONHOOK</device>

        <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>

        <use>all</use>

      </drive>

      <!-- XCAT-PARTITION-END -->

    </partitioning>

 

Upon executing ‘nodeset … ‘ – command the snipet expands to

    <partitioning config:type="list">

        < partitioning config:type="list">

  <drive>

    <device>/dev/sda</device>

    <disklabel>msdos</disklabel>

    <enable_snapshots config:type="boolean">false</enable_snapshots>

    <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>

    <partitions config:type="list">

      <partition>

        <create config:type="boolean">true</create>

        <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>

        <filesystem config:type="symbol">xfs</filesystem>

        <format config:type="boolean">true</format>

        <fstopt>defaults</fstopt>

        <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>

        <mount>/</mount>

        <mountby config:type="symbol">uuid</mountby>

        <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>

        <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr>

        <partition_type>primary</partition_type>

        <resize config:type="boolean">false</resize>

        <size>237274037760</size>

      </partition>

      <partition>

        <create config:type="boolean">true</create>

        <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>

        <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>

        <format config:type="boolean">true</format>

        <fstopt>defaults</fstopt>

        <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>

        <mount>swap</mount>

        <mountby config:type="symbol">uuid</mountby>

        <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id>

        <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr>

        <partition_type>primary</partition_type>

        <resize config:type="boolean">false</resize>

        <size>2152889856</size>

      </partition>

    </partitions>

    <pesize/>

    <type config:type="symbol">CT_DISK</type>

    <use>all</use>

  </drive>

  </partitioning>

       </partitioning>

 

Aka, the portioning – start and end tags are inserted twice. Actually I 
overlooked them, but found them using

       jing jing /usr/share/YaST2/schema/autoyast/rng/profile.rng 
/tmp/<expandedAutoYastFile>

After removing this additional tag, the installation runs smoothly for the 
first step of the installation process.

Cheers,

-Frank

Frank,

Can you open a xcat-core issue for this and post there the node and osimage 
definition.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] Version 2.16.4: sles15.3 autoinstall unusable

 

Hi all,

I updated my current version from 2.16.3 to 2.16.4 and found the sles15.3 
installation, although announced for 
this release is completely broken (see the attached screen shots below). The 
installation process can be ‘continued’ for the error in png 1, 2, but breaks 
completely after the error capatured in 3.png was raised. I executed the 
installation on 3 different HW instances and a VM. Does anyone experience the 
same issue and might know a workaround I currently not aware of?
Many thanks in advance. 

Cheers,

-Frank Heckes
