Add a new pdutype (genpdu) for PDUs implementing the Raritan PDU2-MIB. A single MIB covers the Raritan PX2/PX3/PX4/PXC/SRC/PXO/BCM series, the Server Technology PRO3X/PRO4X series, the Legrand intelligent PDUs, and all PDUs following the PDU2-MIB. Supports rpower (whole-PDU and per-outlet), rinv and rvitals over SNMP v1, v2c or v3, with credentials read from the pdu table). Unlike the existing types, sensor units and decimal precision are read from the MIB per sensor rather than hardcoded, so readings are correct across models that report differing precision for the same sensor. Outlet switching capability is probed at connect time, so metered-only models report a single "unsupported" message instead of a per-outlet error. rspconfig is not supported for genpdu; PDU linking and BCM2/PMC power meters are out of scope. Tested on Raritan PX4-5851-E7V2 (fw 4.2.10.5-50400, switched), PX3-1901U-N1 and PX3-1901U-N1A6 (fw 4.0.20.5-49038, metered), and PX2-1901U-N1A6 (fw 4.0.20.5-49038, metered).

xCAT
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
