Here is an example of a policy table in a hierarchical cluster. You do
not have to add anything to the defaults configured by xCAT for it to work.
#priority,name,host,commands,noderange,parameters,time,rule,comments,disable
1,root,,allow,,
1.2,manage-02,,trusted,,
You need to provide the mgt attribute also as indicated by the error
message. Sure you can tabedit and get around it but that is not satisfying
the xcat database setup requirement. You need to tell us the method used
for hardware control, in this case ipmi.
Use this document as a reference:
Thanks, it's working better now. Redeploying the service nodes under
the updated 2.8.3 seems to have fixed the issues where your default
policy list you've provided seems to be sufficient.

Also just for more info, this is a Dell SC1435 node that has an
upgraded iDRAC that uses a java console, while power is controlled
via standard IPMI. So, we need to be able to do nodehm.power=ipmi,
and nodehm.mgt=iKVM. Then under /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin, we
have a
If you look at handle commands in the plugins and find nodehm:mgt, you can
see how it drives the selection of which plugin will run for various
commands. So if nodehm.mgt is ipmi for the node, then the ipmi.pm plugin
will be called for rinv below. This is a pretty complex area.I asked
Correct. This is a normal old Dell box, so rinv and the like isn't
really necessary for these nodes.
I believe we might be able to utilize nodehm.cons to put our iKVM
string in, set ipmi for nodehm.mgt and nodehm.power, and then go off of
the nodehm.cons column if it won't negatively affect
Thank you, that information is very useful. I just realized that I have an
older version of xCAT (2.7.3) and need to upgrade to get those commands for
node discovery. I will do that soon.
Also when I did a 'nodeset' on one of the service nodes I saw an error, as
if xcat were already trying to
Looks good.
BTW, what functionalities have been implemented in your iKVM.pm, only stuff
for cons support?
Thanks

Regarding the dispatching xCAT command request to service node, in certain
case (e.g. create dhcpd configuration) the request will be sent to all the
service nodes in the xCAT database (which is configured in servicenode
table) so that every service nodes can handle the dhcp request for load
Did you implemented function getrvidparms in your iKVM for getting the
parameters of console? If yes, could you try to change the name of it to
make it different with getrvidparms?
Thanks
