OK. That sounds OK, but I've walked through setting up xcat based on
instructions at :
https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Cluster_Name_Resolution/#specifying-additional-network-interfaces-for-cluster-nodes
and only gotten as far as the instructions to run "makedns -n". This is where
I get the:
Error: Unsupported request
So "makedhcp" has not yet been run. So, what is likely to be causing the
"Unsupported request"? What should I be looking at?

xcat_key is used to authorize who can change the dns server. This key is
generated when you run 'makedhcp -n'.
Thanks

make sure these three attributres are defined in the xCAT site table (tabdump
site):
1)forwarders
2)domain
3)nameservers
and also check the networks table, the net and mask attributes needs to define.
the xcat_key will get it from passwd table:
]# tabdump passwd
#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"omapi","xcat_key","QjV0UG5vM2NXamZtVUJncEszejgzMUZSNnRXRTU2Sjk=",,,,

Subject: [xcat-user] xcat_key and DNS Configuration
I'm trying to walk through the DNS configuration from documentation on a brand
new xcat environment. I need some help on a few things.
Lets start at the beginning. The prod environment I have already has an xcat
key. But I'm trying to build a new test environment that will be a model for
implementing a brand new xcat production environment when the new hardware gets
installed. I tried walking through the documentation and ran into a snag. Every
time I tried to do a makedns, whether with or without the "-n" parameter, I get:
Error: Unsupported request
This is usually a pretty good indication that something is amiss. So I'm trying
to figure out what is wrong. Eventually, this led me to there being a potential
problem with /etc/named.conf. So I figure I can steal a good bit of it from my
prod environment, but the one thing I'm confused about is "xcat_key". Do I need
an "xcat_key"? Where does it come from? How do I get it? I don't have one in my
passwd table in xcat in the test environment, but there is one in prod. So I
know it was useful there. What do I need to do to get one?
Sincerely,
John W. Hosie III
