Scan the z/VM, bmcconfig, energy, PPC configuration, CIM and z/VM utility sources. Fail when a printSyslog line or a checkSSH_Rc command string carries a password variable, when a directory query output logs without the redactor, when the masked log lines lose their mask or their position built operand, when the executed commands lose their real values, when the CIM verbose dump returns to the raw request, or when the attribute and access messages hold a password value again. Drive the real redact_directory_entry with sentinel USER, IDENTITY, IDENT, MDISK range, DEVNO and V-DISK, APPCPASS and keyword records in both spellings, with and without one or more comment stars, cover the COMMAND statement whole, keep the statements beside the passwords, and prove that a passwordless record never masks across the line into the next record. Assert that both clone loops redact the query output at the source, that the directory helpers hand a redacted copy to the failure checker, and that every error branch behind the output check, the directory fetch, the mini disk fetch and the four disk list callers, echoes the redacted text.

xCAT is a toolkit for deployment and administration of clusters of all sizes.
The xCAT sunset was only a quick eclipse
Dear xCAT Community,
The xCAT sunset has changed course. VersatusHPC has been invited to join the xCAT Consortium, and future development will move toward direct upstream contributions coordinated with the Consortium and its existing member companies.
That matters most for Enterprise Linux 10 (EL10). EL10 support is coming to xCAT, restoring a future operating-system path for sites that still rely on xCAT. This is an important change from the previous sunset guidance, where the lack of an EL10 path was one of the strongest reasons to move away from xCAT.
The xCAT Consortium continues to recommend Confluent as the long-term successor to xCAT, and that remains the Consortium position. Users planning new cluster-management deployments should evaluate Confluent and its xCAT comparison documentation.
At the same time, xCAT is no longer sunsetted. The Consortium and participating companies will continue updating xCAT while there is community and user demand for it.
In summary:
- xCAT development is continuing upstream through the Consortium and participating companies.
- Enterprise Linux 10 support is coming.
- Confluent remains the Consortium-recommended successor and migration path.
- xCAT updates will continue while there is community and user demand.
We want to thank the xCAT Consortium and community for keeping this project moving. The sun went behind the moon for a moment, but xCAT is still here.
For more information on Confluent and how to get started, please visit the Confluent: Project Page, Documentation or Confluent vs xCAT comparison.
With thanks,
The xCAT Consortium
