Ok, we are setting up a new HP cluster and trying to marry it to our
current xCAT driven IBM iDataplex cluster.  We are having a problem where
autodiscovery is seeing the node on the trunk port of one of the earlier
switches and assigning it to the wrong name.

The four switches are named:
tx4-01-sw26 through tx4-01-sw29
SNMP is on
Spanning tree is configured and all ports that connect to nodes are set as
edge ports.

Here is the definition for node h328 which is the node we are testing with:
Object name: h328
    switch=tx4-01-sw29
    switchport=31

After this boots up and goes through discovery it shows up as node h253.  I
ran through the snmp queries and found out that tx4-01-sw26 shows this on
Trk1 which is a trunked set of 10Gbit lines to the main switch.  Here is
the definition for h253:
Object name: h253
    switch=tx4-01-sw26
    switchport=1


So it does find the MAC on tx4-01-sw26 but it is coming over the trunks and
this is where it detects it first and xCAT sets it to node h253.

Any clues on what I may have set up wrong?  Is there a way to tell xCAT to
exclude these trunked ports?

Thanks,
  Dan
