Verify Service Node Installation

ssh to the service nodes. You should not be prompted for a password.
Check to see that the xcat daemon xcatd is running.
Run some database command on the service node, e.g tabdump site, or nodels, and see that the database can be accessed from the service node.
Check that /install and /tftpboot are mounted on the service node from the Management Node, if appropriate.
Make sure that the Service Node has name resolution for all nodes it will service.
Run updatenode <compute node> -V -s on management node and verify output contains Running command on <service node> that indicates the command from management node is sent to service node to run against compute node target.

See Appendix B <../appendix/appendix_b_diagnostics> for possible solutions.
