Hi Luis,

getmacs does not work with iDataPlex machines; You need to read the following document for discovering nodes

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Node_Discovery

In short
* You need to know the switch and ports the nodes are connected to
* check to snmp is working to the switch
* populate the switch table
* populate the ipmi table
* populate /etc/hosts or populate hosts table, and run makehosts
* make sure you have the relevant fields for runcmd=bmcsetup in the chain table * You need to make sure that the dhcp has dynamic range in the networks table; and have run makedhcp
* and finally mknb x86_64 is run
* Then reboot your machine

But the document should have some guideline on how to do it

regards,

*Arif*

Hi,

   When I execute the xCAT command getmacs i get the error:

#getmacs node2
node2: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check relevant tables: nodehm.getmac,mgt;nodehm.mg <http://nodehm.mg>

I checked the nodehm table and getmac and mg are not configured. How can I configure it for a idataplex server?

Thanks,
Luis Cabellos
