nodeset <node> boot<\/p>\n

Then run:<\/p>\n

rpower <node> boot<\/p>\n

Next, you log into the node when it boots and create this little script (borrowed from \/xcatpost\/startsyncfiles.awk)<\/p>\n

#!\/usr\/bin\/awk -f\r\nBEGIN {\r\n#  if (ENVIRON[\"USEOPENSSLFORXCAT\"]) {\r\n#      server = \"openssl s_client -quiet -connect \" ENVIRON[\"XCATSERVER\"] \" 2> \/dev\/null\"\r\n#  } else {\r\n#      server = \"\/inet\/tcp\/0\/127.0.0.1\/400\"\r\n#  }\r\n\r\n  server = \"openssl s_client -quiet -connect 10.0.0.1:3001 \"\r\n\r\n  quit = \"no\"\r\n  exitcode = 1\r\n\r\n  print \"<xcatrequest>\" |& server\r\n  print \"   <command>syncfiles<\/command>\" |& server\r\n  print \"<\/xcatrequest>\" |& server\r\n\r\n  while (server |& getline) {\r\n    if (match($0,\"<serverdone>\")) {\r\n      quit = \"yes\"\r\n    }\r\n    if (match($0,\"<errorcode>\") || match($0,\"<error>\")) {\r\n      exitcode = 0\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    if (match($0,\"<\/xcatresponse>\") && match(quit,\"yes\")) {\r\n      close(server)\r\n      exit exitcode\r\n    }\r\n  }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
Then you just run that code and it will start syncfiles the way the postscript does. \u00a0The thing to watch for here is that 10.0.0.1 IP address I put in. \u00a0You’ll have to put your management server’s IP address there. \u00a0You can also sub other commands instead of syncfiles here as well. \u00a0Like xcatlog etc.<\/p>\n
One issue I noticed while doing this is that even though updatenode -F worked, and if I installed the node with rinstall <node> -o rhels5.5 -a x86_64 -p foo then it would get the correct syncfiles. \u00a0However, if I put that image foo inside the osimage table and ran the install, it wouldn’t get the syncfile right unless I added the syncfile to the osimage table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
