Generally, a reverse lookup on the source ip address is used to correlate a node ip address to node name.

Having more thoughts on the problem. I can see from the bmcreq.xml file
that the node is sending bmc mac address to xcat server while making
request for bmc config data. I am not sure how this then supposed to work
on the server. My xcat server does not know anything about bmc MAC address
so it will not be able to give any reasonable answer I guess.
However my xcat server knows that node-1-59 which is defined in group rack1
has an entry in ipmi table for that group. so I guess the client should be
sending its IP address to a server so the server can look it up in the ipmi
table.
Do I need to populate more tables on the xcat server to make bmcsetup work?
regards,
Wojciech

Hi,
I have got stuck at the bmcsetup stage. I can ssh to the node in genesis
image and run my own script but I really would like to make the bmcsetup
work so the deployment is automatic.
When I run bmcsetup from genesis it will create bmcreq.xml file which
then is used to contact xcatserver and obtain info to populate the
ipmicfg.xml file. Unfortunately the ipmicfg.xml file does not get
populated correctly.
cat /tmp/bmcreq.xml

that is expected to be missing is the ability to run against uclibc

for having glibc available (which most everyone wanted).

Hi Jarrod,
Many thanks for the clue, I managed to make it work and the MAC table
has been updated with a correct address. Now I would like to give a go
to chain some more actions like bmc setup and the reboot into a compute
image. Does this work in genesis similarly as in the old xnba ?
regards,
Wojciech

FYI 2.7.2 should amend the requirements so this would not be

Hi,
This is a new Dell C6xxx system (a chassis with for "stick"
servers). Yes I though that the lack of network module may be a
cause as the ifconfig injected into getdestiny script only shows
lo interface. The system uses intel igb driver I believe.
I was following
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start
which may be now outdated to some extent especially for a new
hardware.
I am using xcat-2.7, sowhat I need to do to use the new genesis
environment ?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi
I am attempting to boot a new node using auto
discovery mode. The node
boots into xnba kernel but then fails at getdestiny
script and goes
into loop showing following errors
cat: can't open '/tmp/dhcpserver': No such file or
directory
grep: /tmp/destiny: No such file or directory
grep: /tmp/destiny: No such file or directory
I have done some investigation but got stuck and can
not find where
the /tmp/dhcpserver should be created and populated
with data, any
help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
