Re: [xcat-user] ARM support status?

[Markus H. <mar...@me...>]

Hi,

The status is more or less unchanged.

The PR works well, but it still needs some polishing (e.g. documentation). However, it is planned for the next release.
Maybe we can have a development version built with it so that early adopters can use the PR more easily ;)


​Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Betreff: [xcat-user] ARM support status?

Hi developers,

What is the "official" status of ARM support? With nvidia's Grace systems, that support has become more important than ever for us.

It looks like perhaps the pull request that was made hasn't been merged yet as best I can tell.

Hi,



with https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/pull/7257 arm deployment is pretty much working for stateless and stateful deployment via grub2.

On a x86 management node you can even cross-build arm stateless images.

Only discovery doesn't work for arm.



Feel free to test these changes.

I would like to merge these changes as alpha state arm support. I think stateless and stateful deployment covers 90% of use cases already 😉
