[xcat-user] xcatd not starting[Scanned]

[Arif Ali]

We are an IBM BP, SO I have been learning xCAT for the last few weeks on 
Cell, PPC and xSeries, and now in the process of training my colleagues. 
So, I have 6 machines, 3 masternodes and 3 compute nodes, each cluster 
on a different vlan (so that they don't interfere). Each masternode was 
installed identically.

After some diagnosing, I found that it was trying to close the noderes 
table and then the nodetype table, and these tables did not exist in the 
/etc/xcat directory. I copied over these files from my test xCAT server, 
then It complained something to do with "use strict", which I then 
commented out from /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/Utils.pm, after which I was 
able to start xcatd
