Hi,

I know you're busy with testing OSCAR 4.1 but maybe you want to have a
look at mksiadapter http://home.arcor.de/efocht/oscar/mksiadapter .

When setting up clusters with multiple ethernet or IP-like adapters
(like myrinet over IP or IBoIP) I usually did it by modifying the
autoinstall script manually before the installation. It's not really
nice... Now there's a better way to do it:

Use mksiadapter to define the additional adapters in your cluster. For
example:

mksiadapter --Add --name $node --ipaddr $myriip --netmask $netmask --devname 
myri0

Usage: mksiadapter [ operation ] <options>
  operation
    -A, --Add               add an adapter to machine
    -D, --Delete            delete adapter from machine
    -U, --Update            update adapter info for machine
    -L, --List              list all adapters for machine

  options
    --name <name>           machine name.
    --all                   apply to all adapters (valid for --Delete)
    --ipaddress <address>   the IP address of the adapter.
    --MACaddress <MACaddress>   the MAC address of the adapter.
    --devname <devname>     the adapter device name (default: sometimes eth0)
    --netmask <mask>        the netmask for the interface (default, 
255.255.255.0)
    -v, --verbose           massive verbose output
    --parse                 print colon-delimited output (valid with --List)

This is derived from mksimachine and similar in use.

Call "sis_reload network" on all nodes. (Details to this in a later
email).

One additional patch to systeminstaller is required:
http://home.arcor.de/efocht/oscar/sin-multiadapter.patch
This changes the synchosts subroutine in SystemInstaller::Machine to
consider only the "eth0" adapters for the IP -> hostname assignment in
/etc/hosts. If you don't apply this your /etc/hosts will contain the
last adapter IP for the cluster hosts. This is not what one usually
wants.

Regards,
Erich
