[xcat-user] Upgraded to xcat 2.13.2 - addkcmdline being ignored now

Hi all,

Has there been a chance with now xCAT handles the bootparams table? I
have upgraded from 2.12 to 2.13.2, and now my kernel parameters are not
being appended to my diskless nodes for boot time. When I compare the
xnba file for a node I have ran nodeset on after the update vs one I
have not, the kernel parameters are no longer being written to the file.
However an lsdef of the problem node shows the parameter is there under
addkcmdline as I would expect.

Not a single change has been made to any of my images or the node's
configuration, just xCAT has been updated with a "yum update". No errors
were received during the update process.

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi Russell,

I have seen similar issues, can you answer 2 questions

1. What type is your osimage, stateful/stateless
2. What is in your addkcmdline

Arif

We need to add addkcmdline="rd.driver.blacklist=mlx4_en" and maybe more modules, basically to all diskless nodes.
I vaguely remember doing this sort of thing once before. Where in tabedit would I go to put this definition in once
so it would get inherited? Is there a document that shows the dependencies between tables?
Maybe there is a command line that would do it all....

What version of xcat did this bug arrive in? We're running 2.13.1 now.

Thanks,
