I am now having a new issue. After booting nodes and adding them to the testbed, they are added to the 'hwdown' experiment as expected. I then release them with the command 'nfree emulab-ops hwdown pc1 pc2 pc3', Sofar so good.
ID Name Type (Class) Up? PID EID Default OSID
pc1 pc1 inspireBlade (pc) down emulab-ops reloading FREEBSD-MFS
Node ID: pc1
Virtual Name: pc1
Project: emulab-ops
Experiment: reloading
Node Type: inspireBlade
Def Boot OS: FREEBSD-MFS
EventState: ISUP (2010-06-09 21:11:33)
Operating Mode: PXEFBSD (2010-06-09 21:10:47)
AllocState: FREE_DIRTY (2070-01-01 00:00:00)
...
The 'reloading' experiment page says:
Node ID Name Type Default OSID Node Status
pc1 pc1 inspireBlade FREEBSD-MFS down
It seems to be in a weird state and I find it odd that the experiment page and node control page both say down but the EventState in the node page says 'ISUP'
Thanks for any help you can provide!
