We got an empty N1200 from Lenovo some time back in anticipation of new
nodes arriving this summer. In previous times, Lenovo would program the
FPCs with some internal address as a part of their cluster solution
(172.30.101.141 for example).

This empty chassis does not have its IP recorded in the paperwork we
received from Lenovo on delivery of the rack.

I am trying to configure this FPC using configfpc command and if I try
using the defaults: configfpc -i bond0 I get no default IP found.

I see the FPC on the switch port and I see its mac:

qfivebnt08#show mac-address-table interface port 42

     MAC address       VLAN     Port    Trnk  State  Permanent  Openflow

  -----------------  --------  -------  ----  -----  ---------  --------

  6c:ae:8b:5e:56:14       1    42             FWD                  N


I also have the fpc configured for the right switch port in xCAT:


[root@mgt ~]# lsdef qfpc24

Object name: qfpc24

    bmc=qfpc24

    bmcpassword=PASSW0RD

    bmcusername=USERID

    cons=ipmi

    groups=rack-t22fpc,qfpc,all

    ip=172.30.11.24

    mgt=ipmi

    nodetype=qfpc

    postbootscripts=otherpkgs,setupntp

    postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles

    switch=qfivebnt08

    switchport=42

I suspect this FPC is configured with some other IP (other than default)
but I don't know what that IP is since it's not documented. Any way of
programing the FPC if I don't have the IP?


Thanks,

Damir
