Should be ready to be nodeset to do something else.

'standby' in this case is 'completed everything supposed to happen,
awaiting instructions'

If you put in hard drives with os still working:
nodeset <node> boot

if hard drive needs reinstall:
nodeset <node> osimage

If stateless:
nodeset <node> netboot

Subject:        [xcat-user] re-discovering node after motherboard replacement



One of our GPU nodes had bad motherboard and we had it replaced few days
ago.  After motherboard was replaced we ran rmnodecfg script and node was
re-discovered:

mgt xCAT node discovery: qgpu0020 has been discovered

I can see the new MAC address in the mac table.  However, we are running
into issues reprograming BMC.  It never finishes.  Console screen displays:

Received request to retry in a bit, will call xCAT back in <amount>
seconds.

lsdef on this node displays that node is standby mode (not sure what that
means):



chain=runcmd=bmcsetup,standby


    currchain=standby


    currstate=standby





Here is the content of the pxelinux file for this node:


#standby


DEFAULT xCAT


LABEL xCAT


 KERNEL xcat/genesis.kernel.x86_64


 APPEND initrd=xcat/genesis.fs.x86_64.gz quiet console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200 xcatd=172.20.0.1:3001 destiny=standby
nouveau.modeset=0


  IPAPPEND 2





I hope you can help.
