Gilad, We are refining our statement about the hosts.otherinterfaces to be more precise: the hosts.otherinterfaces attribute will continue to be supported for additional hostname/IP pairs associated with the node that should be added to name resolution (/etc/hosts and DNS), but are not NICs that xCAT should configure when the node is deployed. For the latter, the nics table, or nic attributes in the node object definition, should be used. Of course, if you already have a customized postscript that was originally based on the configeth postscript that came in 2.7 or below, it should continue to work using the hosts.otherinterfaces information. The xCAT postscripts confignics, configeth, configib in xCAT 2.8 and above will use the information from the nics table, not hosts.otherinterfaces.
Therefore, it will be appropriate to put the bmc hostname and ip in hosts.otherinterfaces long term (if you don't want to create a node object for the bmc). Hope that clears it up.

Another question - when the otherinterfaces methid will no longer be supported? asking for two reasons - 1. current cluster already configured this way so adding nodes should be fairly easy and wondering if we should move to nics. 2. no solution for the imm/bmc/ilo/whatever right now with nics.
