but on xcat 2.8.4 and the xcat snap rpm is xCAT-2.8.5-snap201405290128.x86_64,xcat statelite install could work.

what is your litefile table on MN?

pls make sure it matches the entries indicated in the following doc:

Jun Xia, please check if this is still recreatable with the latest xCAT 2.8.5 build. Thanks.
