[xcat-user] Re: chaining events

Making a new table will be in the Developers Guide,  which I am on the 
hook to write next year.   Any new table that you want to add you should 
submit the details to this forum for review,  to make sure it fits into 
the schema.    Adding the table will be just as easy as adding it to 
Schema.pm in the xCAT perl library, but we do want to review the design 
and attributes before it is added to make sure it fits into the overall 
xCAT design.    Make sure that your attributes are not any of the reserve 
words for the various databases we support.   Read comments in Schema.pm.

[xcat-user] Re: chaining events






Ok, I did this.  The problem is that the boot params get changed when 
booting the xCAT service kernel.  So for now I'll probably have to write a 
plugin to use my new netbooting method.

compute,,,,"runimage=http://192.168.15.1/install/flash/ls22.tgz
,mybootmeth",

Question:  Is it documented anywhere how to make a new table?

Hi,
I have a custom kernel boot image that was not created by xCAT.  As such, 
in order for me to boot it, I do this:

nodech <noderange> bootparams.kernel=<path to kernel> 
bootparams.kcmdline=<kernel params> chain.currstate=netboot

But what I want is for this to happen automatically so that when a new 
node is placed in the cluster it will detect it, setup up the bmc, then 
flash the image, then install the node.

So, I want to verify that I can do this:  Do you see any problems if my 
chain table looks like the following:

default,,,,,nodediscover,,
compute,,,,"runcmd=bmcsetup,runimage=
http://192.168.15.1/install/flash/ls22.tgz,netboot",nodediscover,,


Thanks, let me know if there's something I'm missing.  I will try this out 
and see how it goes.
