Just speaking to my colleague who did this, did 'yum install "*xCAT*"'
which installed the xCATsn (vaguely remember this from yestrday, but I
don't have the list for you), as well as the rest of the RPMS to do with
xCAT. But now looking at the documentation, we should have only be doing
'yum install "xCAT.x86_64"'
I think we were getting ahead of ourselves and using the parameters with
update instead of install from the documentation.
