Can you make the interface blank?
chdef node1interface=""  or manually go to the mac table and blank out the 
interface attribute for  node1. Then do nodeset again and redeploy the 
node. Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Ling

Subject:        [xcat-user] error changing netif name 'eth2' to 'eth0': 
Device or       resource busy



Hello,

I am new in xCat, but can't fix the issue:

 error changing netif name 'eth2' to 'eth0': Device or resource busy


Please help. 

What I have:

1. xCAT-server-2.8.3-snap201311122316.noarch
2. xCAT-2.8.3-snap201311122318.x86_64

My installation config: 

# lsdef  node1
Object name: node1
    arch=x86_64
    currstate=netboot SL6.3-x86_64-compute
    groups=all

After getting os image and unpack I see next:
