Hi folks, I've had reason to go through the NeXtScale wiki page here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_NeXtScale_Clusters/ and I've noticed a couple of omissions that could be addressed simply. The first is that there's no mention of doing: makedhcp -n to configure DHCP correctly (after makedns might be a good place). Secondly there's no mention of setting up a chain for node discovery to program the BMCs, perhaps adding: chain='runcmd=bmcsetup,shell' to the chdef for the ipmi group might be a good thing. For us we do: chdef -t group ipmis mgt=ipmi cons=ipmi mgt=ipmi bmcport="0" bmc='/\z/-imm/' serialport=0 serialspeed=115200 serialflow=hard chain='runcmd=bmcsetup,shell' ondiscover=nodediscover to configure our systems - though note that the group there is called ipmis for shared ipmi (we have a separate impid group for dedicated IPMI adapters). Hope this is useful!
