download OS failed!!!

[TRF123]

I am trying to deploy centos7 OS in my compute node using the disk-full installation it seems that the compute node is communicating with the master node and it starts getting the packages and it suddenly hangs and gives the following error from the compute node from xcatprobe :

[root@master tmp]#  xcatprobe osdeploy -n testtest
The install NIC in current server is eth1                                 [INFO]

@TRF123 Interesting, I formatted your message above for better readability using the markdown tags.

Can you provide the output of the following commands:

• tabdump networks
• lsdef testtest
• lsdef -t osimage -o <the osimage you are provisioning>

Also can you run.. the xcatprobe xcatmn -i eth1 and lets make sure your management node (MN) is configured correctly...

thank you Mr. Victor for your reply and help I appreciate it . this is the output requested:

Can you run the following: xcatprobe xcatmn -i eth1

[whowutwut]

Also, can you do the following:

1) find /tftpboot -name "testtest" -print and show me the contents of that file. 2) The VM seems to be booted.... can you go to the host.... ssh 10.0.0.1 and do... virsh list --all and you should see this testtest vm there.. then also brctl show to validate that you do have a bridge, and it has a vnet for the VM. you can see the VM attributes using virsh dumpxml testtest and make sure that the vnet is matching.. but since it looks like it's connecting xCAT, this should be OK....
2) chdef testtest cons=kvm then run makeconservercf testtest and then you can open rcons testtest and see ... ctrl+e c . is the keystroke to get out of rcons

[TRF123]

this is the content of the file /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/testtest: and I noriced that the IP is dhcp, should I change it ? to the IP address of my compute node ? since I am using static IPs

!gpxe

[whowutwut]

In the above, you spelled eth1 incorrectly... eht1...

[TRF123]

sorry for that :

No, you don't need to change ip=dhcp, xCAT serves the compute node the IP you set in the node definition. IF you want to set the IP to static, you can use xcat postscript hardeths to convert the dhcp IP address to static.

Is the kernel there? ls -ltr /tftpboot/xcat/osimage/centos7.3-x86_64-install-compute/vmlinuz

and all the files are there on the MN machine? ls -ltr /install/centos7.3/x86_64
