Lissa K. Valletta 8-3/B10 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Srikanth Gumma <sri4mail...@gmail.com> To: xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net, Date: 03/12/2014 10:53 AM Subject: Re: [xcat-user] DNS configuration - reg Thanks for all your responses. I could not resolve the issue even after following the suggestions, I don't want to place the host file which i static and managing host file is very expensive. With the permission of the client I change the local DNS name to mydom.local to resolve the issue. However I would request xCAT development team to help incorporate the custom DNS/DHCP configuration to be incorporated using some table.

Any ideas why things would get stuck here, any way to enable more debugging messages? The serial console seems to be working OK up to this point, but the node is not pingable.

It needs software raid for the boot disk and other details that don't make a normal nodeset osimage install seem practical. Any suggestions how to simply boot install media with pxe and manually control the install?

I'm trying to setup xCAT for my hpc cluster. My requirement regarding DNS is little different and hope some one would help me resolve the issue currently I'm facing. I setup the management node with hpc.mydom.net as my hpc domain. My cluster each node has 3 interfaces private, public and Infiniband respectively. My organization domain is mydom.net which is hosting records for the entire organization and I cannot register all my HPC node names in the same domain. Hence I setup a local DNS in my management node. I want all my compute nodes to resolve all hosts registered under mydom.net aswell as hpc.mydom.net. To make it simple: mydom.net (NS1) | | hpc.mydom.net (xcatMGMT) | | nod1.hpc.mydom.net (my compute nodes) nod2.hpc.mydom.net . . . Typically I want my nod2.hpc.mydom.net to resolve node1.hpc.mydom.net and licserv1.mydom.net both IPs. What I wanted to do is any name resolution which does not belong to hpc.mydom.net should forward to mydom.net, but when I verify the configuration I see the zone definition in my xcatMTMT it looks like the below and hence it's not able to resolve licserv1.mydom.net IPs zone "mydom.net" in { type master; allow-update { key xcat_key; }; file "db.mydom.net"; }; I understood that my xcatMGMT is thinking that it's master for mydom.net, and due to which the name resolution is not happening for servers such as licserv1.mydom.net, etc., I tried to change the DNS configuration manually, but whenever I run makedns it's just overwriting all my previous configuration. Is there any way that I only add new nodes in the hpc.mydom.net domain and does not overwrite dns configuration? A glance on my site configuration and network configuration is below: # lsdef -t site -i domain,nameservers,forwarders Object name: clustersite domain=hpc.mydom.net forwarders=172.27.0.252,172.27.0.254 nameservers=192.168.20.1 # lsdef -t network ibnet4,publicnet4,clusternet4 Object name: ibnet4 dhcpserver=192.168.20.1 dynamicrange=192.168.30.88-192.168.30.175 mask=255.255.255.0 mgtifname=eth0 net=192.168.20.0 Object name: publicnet4 dhcpserver=192.168.20.1 domain=mydom.net dynamicrange=10.1.0.11-10.1.0.200 gateway=10.1.0.1 mask=255.255.0.0 mgtifname=eth0 net=10.1.0.0 Object name: clusternet4 dhcpserver=192.168.20.1 domain=hpc.mydom.net dynamicrange=192.168.20.88-192.168.20.175 mask=255.255.255.0 mgtifname=eth0 net=192.168.20.0 tftpserver=192.168.20.1 Any other suggestions also welcome .
