[xcat-user] NextScale nodes not booting from the disk

We are switching our image from stateless to stateful in a month (going
from RH6 to RH7). Old IBM dx360 nodes are booting fine with this new image
we have created. Our NextScale nodes are not...The OS gets installed and
the node reboots but then it never boots from the hard drive. It times out
at the PXE prompt and just hangs.

I am wondering if some BIOS setting is doing this - maybe something with
legacy mode, or boot order or something else. I've tried manually hitting
F12 and selecting the hard drive but that did not seem to work.

Does anyone have NextScales booting from the hard drive, and if so, would
you mind sharing (dumping) your settings via asu show?

Thanks,
Damir

Could you share the IMM and Boot sections from asu show on one of your troublesome nodes?

When we got our first 5465 Lenovo nodes, we changed the noderes netboot attribute from pxe to xnba
and also changed BootModes.SystemBootMode to “UEFI Mode”. Even though Legacy Only is first in
the boot order, they still are able to pxe boot just fine. That is the only difference I see, maybe worth a quick
try to see if it makes any difference in behavior. We don’t have disks in any of our NextScale nodes, so
I can’t try it out in our environment.

Thanks for the reply - I don't think our issue is with PXE...node boots
fine from the PXE and it gets installed...it's just after the installation
when it's supposed to boot from the HD it does not.

I've removed the Legacy Only and the node hangs on the boot - just a cursor
in the corner of the screen and nothing coming up. It never seems to time
out....

Super frustrating especially since dx360 nodes are booting just fine.

There is another setting that set the boot mode to Legacy – it is the network PXE boot (found under network in the BIOS), make sure it is set to UEFI.

If you can’t find it let me know and I will provide the exact ASU setting (I am not logged in to my lab currently).

It sounds very much like an issue I had so hopefully it should solve the issue

Sorry if I missed anything in the thread and my suggestion is stupid 😊

I have a similar issue with some non-IBM/Lenovo equipment. Old dx360s work, other new equipment boots, installs but when instructed by PXE to boot locally, you get no more. I have had to work around by setting boot order to HDD post install.

Nathan

Well the thing is, the node installs properly, and it reboots. On the
reboot, it's suppose to run the postbootscripts and it never boots to the
OS. So we tried changing the boot order to HD and that does not seem to
work.

Will give it another try (with the ASU settings now)
 maybe not the issue at all, but worth a shot –

How does the following settings looks in your machine? Here are mine from a M5 system –

opafm1: PXE.NicPortPxeMode.1=Enabled
opafm1: PXE.NicPortPxeMode.2=Enabled
opafm1: PXE.NicPortPxeMode.3=Enabled
opafm1: PXE.NicPortPxeMode.4=Enabled
opafm1: PXE.NicPortLegacyPxeMode.1=Disabled
opafm1: PXE.NicPortLegacyPxeMode.2=Enabled
opafm1: PXE.NicPortLegacyPxeMode.3=Enabled
opafm1: PXE.NicPortLegacyPxeMode.4=Enabled

I disabled the Legacy PXE on the install NIC

Well the thing is, the node installs properly, and it reboots. On the reboot, it's suppose to run the postbootscripts and it never boots to the OS. So we tried changing the boot order to HD and that does not seem to work.

I have a similar issue with some non-IBM/Lenovo equipment. Old dx360s

There is another setting that set the boot mode to Legacy – it is the
network PXE boot (found under network in the BIOS), make sure it is set to
UEFI.

This sounds like a problem we have with PXE booting. It’s a “feature”/bug in pxelinux.0 in RHEL/CentOS 6 & 7. We replace /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 with a copy from RHEL/CentOS 5 and PXE boots work fine. Or use xnba.
