Packs the stateless image from the chroot file system into a file to be sent to the node for a diskless boot.
Note: For an osimage that is deployed on a cluster, running packimage will overwrite the existing rootimage file and be unavailable to the compute nodes while the command executes.

DHCP ATTRIBUTES
-------------
dhcpinterfaces: The network interfaces DHCP should listen on. If it is the same
for all nodes, use a simple comma-separated list of NICs. To
specify different NICs for different nodes:
xcatmn|eth1,eth2;service|bond0.
In this example xcatmn is the name of the xCAT MN, and DHCP there
should listen on eth1 and eth2. On all of the nodes in group
'service' DHCP should listen on the bond0 nic.
dhcpinterfaces: The network interfaces DHCP should listen on. If it is the same for all
nodes, use a comma-separated list of the NICs. To specify different NICs

where xcatmn is the name of the management node, DHCP should listen on
the eth1 and eth2 interfaces. All the nodes in group 'service' should
listen on the 'bond0' interface.
To disable the genesis kernel from being sent to specific interfaces, a
':noboot' option can be appended to the interface name. For example,
if the management node has two interfaces, eth1 and eth2, disable
genesis from being sent to eth1 using: "eth1:noboot,eth2".
dhcpsetup: If set to 'n', it will skip the dhcp setup process in the nodeset cmd.
