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.

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?
