Arif, I think the problem was you did not assign IP for the bmc. The ip you set the in nics table only for the host. If you add the entry in the hosts table for the ip of bmc, it would work.

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 -- regards, Arif Ali MBCS Senior HPC Technical Architect OCF plc Tel: +44 (0)114 257 2200 Mob: +44 (0)7970 148 122 Fax: +44 (0)114 257 0022 Web: www.ocf.co.uk Blog: blog.ocf.co.uk Twitter: @ocfplc Please note, any emails relating to an OCF Support request must always be sent to [email protected] for a ticket number to be generated or existing support ticket to be updated.
