I noticed that code in the script as well.
I reran the script via “updatenode node1 -P confignics” and it works as
expected when you do that; The GATEWAY line is omitted from the ifcfg-ib0 file.
However, a fresh installation of the OS (statefull) results in the file getting
the incorrect gateway value.
I’ve posted the xcat.log below. You can see that there’s some kind of trouble
when the configib script runs.
It looks like some of the IB modules aren’t initially loaded, so when the
script brings down the driver stack and starts it, there are errors related to
kernel modules. This looks like it’s injecting characters into the script and
that’s causing the script to fail.

My packages list contains “@infiniband” – I also initially tried a shorter list
of known required IB packages. In each case, the result was the same. If you
notice, there are no user-space modules loaded when the postscript runs.
When the node boots later, the modules are loaded as shown below:

Hmm, In the /install/postscripts/configib file, it has the following lines that
should prevent "gateway" being written to the configuration file if it is
<xcatmaster>.
if [ "$gateway" == "<xcatmaster>" ]; then
gateway=''
fi
I checked the configuration for node1 and it seems all correct.
Can you download the latest configib script from the following link and copy it
to /install/postscripts directory on you management node and service nodes (if
any). And then run "updatenode node1 confignics" ? See if it works for you.

Russell,
Can you show the node definition for the node you have deployed with this
problem?
lsdef <node>

________________________________________
I have <xcatmaster> set as the value for gateway
#netname,net,mask,mgtifname,gateway,dhcpserver,tftpserver,nameservers,ntpservers,logservers,dynamicrange,staticrange,staticrangeincrement,nodehostname,ddnsdomain,vlanid,domain,comments,disable
"infiniband","198.18.8.0","255.255.252.0","ib0","<xcatmaster>",,"198.18.8.91",,,,,,,,,,,,
When the node is provisioned, the ‘ifcfg-ib0’ file contains:
DEVICE=ib0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=198.18.8.254
PREFIX=22
GATEWAY=<xcatmaster>
IPADDR=198.18.8.254
NETMASK=255.255.252.0
Is this a bug? The documentation says that <xcatmaster> is a valid value for
‘gateway’
