Task Type
 | 
						|
=========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
xCAT supports following types of task which could be set in the chain:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* runcmd ::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    runcmd=<cmd>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Currently only the ``bmcsetup`` command is officially supplied by xCAT to run to configure the bmc of the compute node. You can find the ``bmcsetup`` in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/<arch>/fs/bin/. You also could create your command in this directory and adding it to be run by ``runcmd=<you cmd>``. ::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    runcmd=bmcsetup
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. note:: The command ``mknb <arch>`` is needed before reboot the node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* runimage ::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    runimage=<URL>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**URL** is a string which can be run by ``wget`` to download the image from the URL. The example could be: ::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    runimage=http://<IP of xCAT Management Node>/<dir>/image.tgz
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``image.tgz`` **must** have the following properties:
 | 
						|
  * Created using the ``tar zcvf`` command
 | 
						|
  * The tarball must include a ``runme.sh`` script to initiate the execution of the runimage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To create your own image, reference :ref:`creating image for runimage <create_image_for_runimage>`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Tip**: You could try to run ``wget http://<IP of xCAT Management Node>/<dir>/image.tgz`` manually to make sure the path has been set correctly.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* osimage ::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   osimage=<image name>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This task is used to specify the image that should be deployed onto the compute node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* shell
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Causes the genesis kernel to create a shell for the administrator to log in and execute commands.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* standby
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Causes the genesis kernel to go into standby and wait for tasks from the chain. ...
