Category: Installation >Group: 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MAC collection faulty Initial Comment: When collecting MAC addresses in the "Add node" step (i.e., after an initial install), there is a corner case where a client machine can be booted, but its MAC address will not appear in the "Setup networking" window. This happens because the OSCAR wizard is not careful about its internal state in the MAC.pm module (the module that does the "Setup networking" window). This happens when you do a normal install, and, within the same run of the OSCAR wizard, delete a node and then add that same node back. This is because there is a hash maintained in the MAC.pm module for MAC addresses that the collector has already seen. When you run the MAC collector the second time in the "add node" step, the hash containing all the MACs that have been seen already is not cleared out. Hence, it thinks that it has already "seen" the MAC address of the node that is trying to be added, and it won't display it in the window. The solution is to always clear out the hash upon invocation of the MAC.pm window, and then build a set of MACs to not show (i.e., clients that are already in CLAMDR, the MAC(s) of the server, etc.). During the initial install, this hash will only contain the MAC(s) of the server. During "add node", it will contain the MAC(s) of the server and the MAC(s) of the already-defined client(s). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2003-03-06 13:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 I'm curious if this is still broken. Can anyone (Jeff?) re-test this scenario? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109368&aid=609372&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
