Hui, I would first check to see if the node appears in the chef GUI or not so at least you can tell if the problem is on the Chef side or the Crowbar side. Check /var/log/chef/server.log on the admin node to see if there are related errors there. You may need to copy a key file from the PXE booted node to your test node.
The Rails framework piece of Crowbar communicates with Chef using the Chef Ruby API. See: http://docs.opscode.com/auth.html#ruby and https://github.com/crowbar/barclamp-crowbar/blob/release/mesa-1.6.1/master/crowbar_framework/app/models/chef_object.rb The Crowbar Chef recipes communicate with Chef in the normal way that recipes do.

I made an attempt based on your comments, but still got the same issue, Chef UI of admin node could deploy apps on non-bare metal server well, and crowbar UI cannot identify and show the node. Here are my operation steps on non-bare metal node: a) Build up crowbar admin node b) Allocate a PXE node, and copy /etc/init.d/crowbar_join.sh to non-bare metal node c) Modify yum repository d) Install secreen,ntpdate,ntp pkgs e) Modify network configuration to meet crowbar settings f) Set the desired hostname and fqdn g) Run /etc/init.d/crowbar_join.sh, Chef UI can work successfully on admin node I am not quite clear how crowbar communitcates with chef so far, if i missed something important to configļ¼please help me to point out.
