Hi team,

I am trying to get the sequential discovery working on a 4 node cluster, and I am struggling to get passed the following error message, and trying to understand where I am going wrong

May 15 15:46:09 mgmt1 xCAT: xcatd: Processing discovery request from 10.0.0.101
May 15 15:46:09 mgmt1 xCAT: Sequential Discovery: Processing
May 15 15:46:10 mgmt1 xCAT: Sequential Discovery: Auto Stopped because all bmc ips in the specified range have been assigned to discovered nodes. Run 'nodediscoverls -t seq' to display the discovery result.

I started the discover by running the following command

# nodediscoverstart noderange=node00[1-4]

Below is my definition of the node itself.

# lsdef node001
Object name: node001
    bmc=node001-bmc
    chain=runcmd=bmcsetup,shell
    cons=ipmi
    groups=compute,ipmi
    ip=10.0.0.1
    mgt=ipmi
    netboot=xnba
    nichostnamesuffixes.bmc=-bmc
    nichostnamesuffixes.ib0=-ib0
    nicips.bmc=10.0.1.1
    nicips.ib0=10.0.2.1
    nicnetworks.bmc=xcat_nw
    nicnetworks.ib0=xcat_ib
    nictypes.bmc=ipmi
    nictypes.ib0=infiniband
    ondiscover=nodediscover
    postbootscripts=otherpkgs
    postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
    power=ipmi
    serialport=0
    serialspeed=19200

I would expect xCAT to grab the IP from the defined IPs in the nics table, and assign this IP.

I have then since realised, the following command works

# nodediscoverstart noderange=node00[1-4] groups=compute,ipmi bmciprange=10.0.1.1-10.0.1.4

Which is I think inefficient, especially everything is already defined in the xCAT database
