Discovery appears to work, the mac is discovered, the DHCP entry is created,
and the genesis dhclient gets the new MAC address, but then it keeps looping in
discovery, with the console displaying an "unrecognized directive
<error>unknown" message. If I run: "chdef labcm0005 curstate=<some state
other than discover>", then discovery ends. The only thing that's changed is
that since 2.8.0, whe're no longer using "nodeset host discover", but setting
the chain manually.
Thanks
Details:
We used to be able to run the following to initiate node discovery before 2.8.0:
rmnodecfg host
nodeset host discover
(BTW: the rmnodecfg should delete the dhcp entry BEFORE deleting the MAC
address from the xCAT table. Here's a diff to make it work.)
[root@drdkvm0003 bin]# diff rmnodecfg.old rmnodecfg.new
33c33
< $cmd = "chtab -d node=$blade mac";
---
> $cmd = "makedhcp -d $blade";
36c36
< $cmd = "makedhcp -d $blade";
---
> $cmd = "chtab -d node=$blade mac";
Now "nodeset ... discover" provides the error:
[root@drdkvm0003 xcat]# nodeset labcm0005 discover
Error: Unknown state discover requested
If the chain is set up manually as follows, discovery starts to happen, and
seems to work, but never ends:
[root@drdkvm0003 xcat]# chdef labcm0005
chain="discover,runcmd=bmcsetup,install,boot" ondiscover=nodediscover
The discovery process initiates, the node gets a dynamic address and
communicates back, the mac address is discovered, a correct DHCP lease is
created, and it gets its assigned IP and hostname (not dynamic.). However it
never recognizes that discovery was successful and complains about
"Unrecognised directive"
Here's the console output:
