If you already have the mac address defined in the mac table for the 
nodes, you can set both installnic and primarynic to "mac".  This works 
with 2.6 and 2.7, not sure about 2.5.  But worth to try.
After the change, run makedhcp and nodeset, then boot up the node.

Subject:        [xcat-user] IBM HS23 Blades



I'm trying to set up some new HS23 blades to boot a stateless image. The 
issue I'm running into is that xcat sees the boot interface as eth0, but 
Linux sees the boot interface as eth2. What I mean is if I set installnic 
and primarynic to eth2, getmacs retrieves the wrong mac address. If I set 
them to eth0, it retrieves the correct mac address, but then dhcp fails in 
the initrd because it's trying eth0. I'm running an older version of xcat, 
2.5.1, but I looked through the wiki and see no mention of hs23. Anyone 
have any experience with xcat and hs23s? Thanks,

Stephen
