You can reset the FPC to factory default. It's an ornery process. If I receall
correctly, you remove the FPC for 10-minutes. Remove the battery before
reinserting the FPC. Let the FPC run w/o a battery for 10-minutes. Remove thre
FPC, replace the battery and reinsert the FPC. It's important to respect the
10-minute guideline. I've seen where a customer was short by a minute or so,
and the FPC did not reset to factory default.
Once that is done, configfpc should be able to find the default IP.

Subject: [xcat-user] configuring fpc
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
