Compute Node failed to get Kickstart file
When reinstall compute node, it get prompt for keyboard/language. This means, the compute node is not getting the kickstart file from the headnode. - Try run /state/partition/rocks/install/sbin/kickstart.cgi --client compute-node-name - If the kickstart file generated correctly, check if /root directory permission (754) and ownership 'root:root'. Also, check /root/.my.cnf ownership and group is 'root:apache' and permission is 440 - check the switch, network cable. - Check if /var filesystem is full - cd /state/partition/rocks/install; rocks create distro (if /var is full, you will get error) - Connect the compute node directly to the headnode (if permissiable) and reinstall the compute node (eliminating the switch as the cause).
