Error Booting Newly Provisioned Node - System Overlay Not Found #626

https://github.com/warewulf/warewulf/issues/626

bindatype opened on Jan 3, 2023 Hi,

I’m trying, unsuccessfully, to boot any node on a new cluster running warewulf built from the git version:

wwctl version: 4.4.0rc3-1.git_b63ad7b rpc version: apiPrefix:”rc1” apiVersion:”1” warewulfVersion:”4.4.0rc3-1.git_b63ad7b” and I am hoping someone can shed some light on what the issue is that is preventing nodes from booting.

I have a basic rocky-8 image and assigning a node via: wwctl node set –netdev eth3 –hwaddr 18:66:DA:9D:B4:CD –ipaddr 192.168.100.50 –netmask 255.255.255.0 node001 Booting gives the following error:

I assume that the System Overlay isn’t being created and I know that wwinit.img doesn’t exist.

When I try to build the overlay I see the following:

wwctl overlay build
