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

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

From what I can tell, it’s not pulling it from my environment, though it is set by the xcat.sh file in /etc/profile.d installed by the xCAT rpm):

[root@xcat ~]# cat /etc/profile.d/xcat.sh
XCATROOT=/opt/xcat
PATH=$XCATROOT/bin:$XCATROOT/sbin:$XCATROOT/share/xcat/tools:$PATH
MANPATH=$XCATROOT/share/man:$MANPATH
export XCATROOT PATH MANPATH
export PERL_BADLANG=0

[root@xcat ~]# echo ">>$XCATROOT<<"
>>/opt/xcat<<

I notice that apparently, XCATROOT also does not pick up any of the default values in that statement. Maybe XCATROOT is set, but to a blank string? Can you do

echo ">>$XCATROOT<<"

immediately before running restartxcatd?

Also make sure that the XCATROOT variable is exported, not just set.

Looking in those files, I see in xcatd:

$::XCATROOT = $ENV{'XCATROOT'} ? $ENV{'XCATROOT'} : '/opt/xcat';

And in restartxcatd:

BEGIN
{
    $::XCATROOT =
      $ENV{'XCATROOT'} ? $ENV{'XCATROOT'}
      : -d '/opt/xcat' ? '/opt/xcat'
      :                  '/usr';
}

… So I’m not sure why they are not being set.

I think XCATROOT gets set by "sourcing" /etc/profile.d/xcat.sh from /opt/xcat/sbin/xcatd and /opt/xcat/sbin/restartxcatd

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
