Re: [xcat-user] [External] Includes not parsing when running nodeset

[Christian C. <cca...@le...>]

After some looking around, it appears that the xcat daemon is not picking up the XCATROOT environment variable. Looking at the system script, it checks for a file /etc/sysconfig/xcat. This file does not exist, and I cannot find it in the xCAT RPMs, so I'm not sure why it's being called to. Either way, adding XCATROOT=/opt/xcat, and restarting the daemon appears to have resolved the issue.

Big question:
It's still not clear what was causing xcatd to ignore XCATROOT. As I said, the /etc/sysconfig/xcat file doesn't appear in my xCAT rpms. Is it created by a scriptlet or something?

When I run nodeset <node> osimage=rhels7.5-x86_64-install-compute

#INCLUDEBAD:cannot open /share/xcat/install/scripts/pre.rh.rhels7#
#INCLUDEBAD:cannot open /share/xcat/install/scripts/post.xcat#
#INCLUDEBAD:cannot open /share/xcat/install/scripts/post.rhels7#

This is the default xCAT template that has been untouched. The XCATROOT variable is set to /opt/xcat
