  • Description
    • A provisioning module's node_status routine checks the current status of the node. Through the module this routine is aware of how to figure out if a node is available and loaded with the correct image or needs to be reloaded.
    • It returns a hash reference with various information, the most important being the "status"
      Code Block
      
      ie for the xcat module:

      
      hashref: reference to hash with keys/values

      
      \{status\} => <"READY","RELOAD">

      
      \{ping\} => <0,1>

      
      \{ssh\} => <0,1>

      
      \{rpower\} => <0,1>

      
      \{nodeset\} => <"boot", "install", "image", ...>

      
      \{nodetype\} => <image name>

      
      \{currentimage\} => <image name>
      
    • The status key/value tells the vcl system the node is ready or needs to be reloaded.
