Urgent Help Needed: OpenHPC Deployment Stuck on Node Boot with iPXE Progress Hangs

[ZhaoWeili]

Dear OpenHPC Community,
When building the OpenHPC platform, after executing the commands “[sms]# systemctl restart dhcpd [sms]# wwsh pxe update”, when starting the compute node, the download progress always gets stuck. The position where it gets stuck is as shown in the figure

. Moreover, the position where the progress gets stuck is different every time you restart. Sometimes it’s at 1%, and sometimes it’s at 3%, etc. I have tried two versions, namely “Install Guide (v3.2): AlmaLinux 9.3/x86 64 + Warewulf + OpenPBS” and “Install Guide (v2.4): OpenSUSE Leap 15.3/x86 64 + Warewulf + OpenPBS”, and encountered the same problem. Please, experts, give me some advice!

Best regards
Zhao Weili

It would be better to check whether network settings , dhcp , tfp etc are correctly configured so that it can download the image for booting. It might be better, if you could try to ask this question on the openHPC forum to get more insights and feedback on this issue.
