I've ran xCAT with external DNS without an issue. External DHCP however
makes things more interesting.
I imagine that as long as the external DHCP server that is answering the
requests has the "next-server" and "filename" set properly to point the
host to the management node/service nodes it should work properly. Just
chkconfig dhcpd off, and even chmod the dhcp binary to 000 (or rename
it) to keep it from ever starting on the management node.
Also set site.dhcpsetup to "0" so that dhcp leases are not written out
when nodesets are issued.

We would like both. manually configure the entry on the site DNS
(dynamic) worked OK and the installation succeeded, however, we had to
start DHCP on the xCAT server. this is not something we want, of course.
thx for your reply.

Did you want xCAT to push DNS records? Did you want it to push DHCP
records?

Hello list,
We're trying to install xCAT as an installation server in existing
'classic' IT environment with existing (dynamic) DNS and DHCP servers.
i followed some of the documentation but always something not working
properly.
Any good documentation or Howto? anyone has successfully implemented
this?
