Xiao,
So from the docs et al, the otherinterfaces will be deprecated, so
started to use nics table since 2.8.
As part of the otherinterfaces in the hosts table allows me to
automatically create the hosts file, without having to do it
manually, or adding the nodes individually into the nodelist
table. i.e. assign the ip to the node, so that it is not
cluttered.
In the same way, I grasped the idea to do the same thing with the
nics table, to not necessarily create the interface on the nodes
itself, but to automaticllay create the hosts table, and hence the
named configuration
I would expect though that the discovery method to lookup a
specific value from the ipmi table, and cross check with the nics
tables to see what the IP address and and use that as part of the
discovery process. correct me if my assumption here on how it
should work is wrong.
regards,
Arif

Arif,
The nics table only can be used
to configure the host, but can NOT set the bmc. If you set the
attribute nicips.bmc, that means you should have
interface named 'bmc' in the host, so that during the boot up
of the node, confignics postscript will configure the
interface 'bmc' base on the attribute values.
Guang Cheng,
Please correct me for the usage
of nics table.
Thanks
Best Regards

Hi Xiao,
If you look at the lsdef, you will see that I have set the IP
address of the bmc, or does the type need to be different?
# lsdef node001 | grep bmc
nichostnamesuffixes.bmc=-bmc
nicips.bmc=10.0.1.1
nicnetworks.bmc=xcat_nw
nictypes.bmc=ipmi

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.
Thanks
Best Regards

sequential discovery issue
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
