[xcat-user] cp: cannot stat 'install/netboot/*': No such file or directory

[Nora D]

I am trying to use xCAT on my own computer to manage my virtual machines (virtualbox) that are on my computer too.

I installed phpVirtualVox and I manuallt created a new diskless VM there and started running it. I executed "rpower vm01 off" to see if there was a connection or not. It seems that the connection strength is not the best but it turned it off anyways which is a progress.

So, I am trying to work on my "rpower vm01 on" by defining the node's characteristics. I want to PXE boot the VM so I needed to configure my computer to do that.


So, in that progress, when I execute the following command I get an error:

$ sudo cp -fr install/netboot/* /var/lib/tftpboot/
cp: cannot stat 'install/netboot/*': No such file or directory


I listed the content of the install directory but I didn't find the netboot directory. What did I miss? I also have some confusion whether I am configuring my DHCP correctly or not according to my local virtual environment.

I followed this guide:

Note: I have Ubuntu Desktop LTS 16.


Please help me I am an absolute beginner.


Thanks.
