It sounds like you need to add a network entry in the xcat db for the bmc
network.  Run "lsdef -t network -l" to see your current networks and use
mkdef to create one for the bmc network.  For example:

mkdef -t network bmcnet mgtifname=eth1 net=10.1.0.0 mask=255.255.255.0
dynamicrange=10.1.0.150-10.1.0.240

You can see all the attributes descriptions at
http://xcat.sourceforge.net/man7/network.7.html or by running "lsdef -t
network -l -h".  Just be aware that many of the attributes are only
relevant to networks over which you deploy an OS (for example tftpserver,
nameservers, ntpservers).

Once you've added your bmc network, then makedhcp -n should rewrite
dhcpd.conf and sysconfig/dhcpd correctly.

Hi,

I have added a network "shared-network eth1" into /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
in order to have dhcpd serve IP addresses to the BMC/IPMI network. The
"normal" deployment network is eth0.

 From time to time and when I invoke "makedhcp -a", xCAT overwrites my
/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd (and thus removes eth1 from the dhcpd args).

How can I avoid this?
Or did I use the wrong way to make the xCAT management server also
provide IP addresses for my BMC network?


Markus
