Dear experts,
I am trying to install a Qlustar OS on several Ethernet-linked
machines and still compute nodes do not boot. The installer reports
that there have been no errors, head and FE VM nodes do start, Qluman
sees them and I could not find any error messages from dmesg except
insignificant note that firmware load for regulatory.db failed. I
installed a Debian system on one of compute nodes and upon configuring
the network interface with a static address, established an ssh
connection both with the head and VM-FE nodes. At least this ensures
that cables are OK. If I configure it as dhcp, it does not discover
dhcp server. If I force BIOS boot from the network, I receive either
PXE-E51: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received
from Intel Boot Agent, if I make BIOS use only Legacy OpROM, or
Media Present ...
Start PXE Boot over IPv4 ...
with a silent subsequent fall back into BIOS Setup, if I choose to use
UEFI driver. I tried different combinations of
Boot Device Control {UEFI_and_Legacy_OpROM|UEFI_only|Legacy_OpROM_only},
Boot from Network Devices {Legacy_OpROM_first|UEFI_driver_first},
OS TYPE {Other_OS|Windows_UEFI_mode} in BIOS Setup, and none of them
worked. Qluman confirms that Boot network is configured as dhcp,
and systemctl says that there are no failed services.
Since I am the only one on the forum with such a problem, probably it
can be fixed easily. However, I have no idea what to check and look
forward for help.
Thanks,
Alexei
