Re: [xcat-user] Dell Force 10 discovery problems

If you are using the latest xCAT 2.12.x, we have added a new command to probe the mac-mapping for switch. It's very useful for debugging switch-based discovery.
 

xcatprobe switch-macmap


Thanks

I haven’t been tracking Force10 lately.  I recall they used to number from 0, did they also start numbering their ports from 1 in that update?

 

Putting the full interface name in may help.  Looking at snmpwalk for ifName would be informative

Hi All,

   Our Dell Force 10 switches have worked well with xCAT for some time. Recently the
discovery process has stopped working. The only difference between our older switches
and the newer ones is that the ports are now named GigabitEthernet 1/X instead of the old
GigabitEtherent 0/X. Could this be the issue?
   Otherwise I have tried enabling various print messages in switch.pm, and MacMap.pm. I
am not a software developer so getting my head around the functions is a bit hard. I tried
also enabling the xCAT_plugins::switch.pm via xcatdebug -c  .. NO DICE.
   How, and where should I be looking if I would like to have a good chance at diagnosing
why the mac lookup fails...
  Thank you very much

Gabriel
