Hi Dennis,

beforehand let me say, though working for big blue I'm not official xCAT
support...

Is this what you're looking for?
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Changing_the_Service_and_compute_nodes_Hostname_and/or_IP

Static IP addresses should be set in the hosts table. Now there are many
ways to change table entries... one would be to "tabedit hosts" and use vi
command to search and replace. (See
http://www.felixgers.de/teaching/emacs/vi_search_replace.html )

Important is to delete the old DHCP config: "makedhcp -d noderange" and
after the table entries have been changed, "makedhcp noderange". See the
makedhcp man pages for details.

...a comment on this: "static" IP in xCAT would mean that this node always
gets the same IP address from the DHCP server. If you have stateful nodes
with static IPs (in this case you probably have used the hardeths
postscript) just write a simple shell script that changes the respective
ifcfg file on the nodes. You can use vanilla tools like updatenode or even
xdcp and xdsh to run it.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Subject:        [xcat-user] Changing IP address of existed nodes



Hi All,

I have a xCAT cluster that consists of 100 nodes that are already running
and I need to change their IP address from 192.168.1.X to 192.168.2.X - how
can it be done through xCAT without changing one by one ? and what is the
procedure(which tables do I need to modify and etc..)

Thank you,
Dennis.
