Lanae -
I took a closer look at your screenshot to see if I could find any clues.
First, were you able to install this node before your xCAT upgrade, so you
know that your node definition is correct?  Specifically, do you have the
correct MAC address for your eth2, and that nic is the one that is
connected to your xCAT management network?

If that is the correct mac, a couple of setting changes you might try:

   chdef node1879 installnic=mac primarynic=mac interface=""

(that is the literal string 'mac', not the actual mac address)

Then a new nodeset/reboot or rinstall, whichever you were previously using.

Thanks Lissa, we've tried that though. Still stumped on this error.

  Thank you Jonathan, I didn't find that email thread either. At least not
  specific to both dhcp and upgrading to 2.8.4.

  We tried recreating the dhcp config file using makedhcp -n but that
  didn't work.

        Lanae,

        I remember that only a few weeks ago another user had DHCP problems
        after
        upgrading to 2.8.4. For him it worked to just recreate the DHCP
        config by
        running makedhcp with the respective arguments. I did not find that
        mail on
        the fly, but you should be able to retrieve it from the xcat
        mailing list
        archive.

        [Please mind that I'm not official xcat support - only a user
        myself and
        following the list.]

        Yes, we have many nodes working that have primarynic=eth2, only a
        few don't
        work.

              Someone tried to rinstall a node and sent me this screenshot
        from the
              node's console. I recently upgraded xCAT from 2.7x to 2.8.4.
        We use
              only diskful installs and Scientific Linux. I don't think
        this is
              caused by the upgrade though, I've tested other nodes
        rinstall fine.
              As for the upgrade, I  have our osimage definitions set up,
        but not
              converted provmethod to the osimages yet.

              I looked up the messages in the screenshot, but not making
        sense of
              it.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated, for where to look
        within
              xcat for the cause of this DHCP/xCAT issue. Also is there
        anything
              outside of xcat that we should look into, I'm not a network
        expert
              but I can pass the information to one.
