Hello xCAT everyone,
I’ve been testing *xCAT 2.17.0* on *Rocky Linux 9.4* and *Oracle Linux 9*,
but I’m running into issues getting the xcatd daemon to start.
-
Distributions:
-
Rocky Linux 9.4 – kernel 5.14.0-427.13.1.el9_4.x86_64
-
Oracle Linux 9 – kernel 5.15.0-205.149.5.1.el9uek.x86_64
-
xCAT version: 2.17.0-snap202411131534
-
Installed using the official RPM packages
Issue:
After installation, when attempting to start xcatd, the service fails with
the following error: (Error, don't know how to start on this platform)
Running systemctl status xcatd shows: (xcatd.service: Control process
exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
xcatd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.)
And lsxcatd -a returns: (Unable to open socket connection to xcatd daemon
on localhost:3001.
Verify that the xcatd daemon is running and that your SSL setup is correct.
Connection failure: IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection refused)
*What I’ve tried so far:*
-
The installation completed successfully and SSL certificates were
generated without errors.
-
SELinux is disabled and the firewall is not blocking any ports.
-
I temporarily modified /etc/os-release to simulate ID=rhel and ID_LIKE="rhel
fedora", but the error persisted.
-
I also tried creating a wrapper for the uname command to force it to
return RedHat, but this didn’t help either.
-
Looking into the Perl code of xCAT, it seems that Rocky Linux and Oracle
Linux are probably not recognized as supported platforms.
I can provide more details about the environment or share complete logs if
needed.
I appreciate everyone’s help.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Darren.
