[xcat-user] nodeset and UEFI boot xnba files

[Thomas H. <tho...@pa...>]

Hello,

I'm using xCAT 2.16.1 on CentOS 8.3.2011 to provision stateless and 
stateful CentOS 8.3 nodes booting in "full UEFI" mode (no DUAL nor 
Legacy mode).

This works fine but I noticed today that the tftp xnba .uefi file is not 
touched by nodeset

For instance, for a switch based discovered uefi booted stateless node 
foobar, xCAT generated the 2 following xnba files :

/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/foobar
/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/foobar.uefi

holding the usual imgfetch, imgload and so on commands

According to the generated lease file, I'd say that, for an UEFI boot, 
only /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/foobar.uefi is served:

} elsif option user-class-identifier = "xNBA" and option
                 client-architecture = 00:09 {
           supersede server.filename =
 
"http://x.x.x.x:80/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/foobar.uefi";

But I noticed that, either for stateful or stateless case, nodeset 
foobar boot (for instance) only modifies 
/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/foobar, which seems wrong to me ?

Can you help me figure out if this is an issue or if I'm missing something ?

Thanks for your help
