Hi lmedvinsky,

2 things that you may need to run to resolve your problem

1) run "makedhcp -n -a", this will redo your dhcp configuration, that
should then look out for the new genesis files. The nbk files are now
deprecated. (This will re-do your dhcp, so any customisation to the
dhcpd.conf will be removed, please backup your dhcpd.conf if that is the
case)

2) If you do have the nbroot/nbkernel rpms installed, then you will need to
run mknb x86_64, and then these files should appear.

nevertheless, if any of these don't work, send us the version of xCAT by
running "lsxcatd -v"

You have servicenode=sysdev01 defined for the node. Is it available and
configured and running with xCAT. When you run nodeset it is going to
try and run it on that node. Sounds like it is not up and running.

What level of xCAT are you running.

Ah, I see what the problem is.

You have the servicenode attribute to the same as your node name. This
is not possible. You need to blank that out, and retry again

i.e.
nodech sysdev01 noderes.servicenode=""
