Hi Cindy,
In a successful case, you should see a TFTP log in daemon.log on the active controller indicating the file was transferred, such as:
2019-02-12T13:20:45.000 controller-0 dnsmasq-tftp[200877]: info sent /pxeboot/EFI/grubx64.efi to 192.168.204.4
I would suggest doing something like “tail -f /var/log/daemon.log | grep -i tftp” while doing the installation of nodes from the active controller, to verify the expected file is getting transferred. If the host
installs and you don’t see this file transferred, I’d recommend reconfirming that the node is installing via UEFI.

Hi, Yang
Sorry about the issue! It’s interesting as I did have my engineer tested the scenarios. There must be something missing from my side.
We will redo the patch and test. In the same time, can you manually change the file permissions as temporarily workaround and unblock the test cycle?
Thanks! Cindy

Hi Cindy,
We are still seeing the same file permission issue for grubx64.efi under pxeboot/EFI, causing UEFI pxeboot to fail.
We need the grubx64.efi to be readable by others as well.
../pxeboot/EFI/
total 1220
drwxrwsr-x 3 jenkins mock 4096 Feb 12 16:48 .
drwxrwsr-x 3 jenkins mock 4096 Feb 12 16:48 ..
drwxrwsr-x 3 jenkins mock 4096 Feb 12 16:48 centos
-rwx------ 1 jenkins mock 1233016 Feb 12 16:37 grubx64.efi
The patch seems to have changed the dir permission for centos from 700 to 755, but not grubx64.efi.
For the dir permission for centos, I believe the original 700 should be sufficient (@Scott, please correct me if it’s wrong).

Hi, Numan/Yang,
The last pending patch (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/634559/) which was blocking your testing (#1814360) was just merged. Please get new build ISO from Jason so you can continue the testing.
Thx. - cindy

Hi, Yang,
Thanks for the report.
Are the “two node system” below referring to Duplex? Just want to confirm because #1814360 we have a patch pending and we do want to ensure it works on Duplex as well.
Th.x - cindy
