Hello,
I'm in the process of installing a cluster of Supermicro x86_64 nodes
with xCAT (CentOS 7.3).
I created a single node (manually with mkdef and nodeset), can install
it successfully.
But one thing doesn't work for me: the setup of the BMC ip address.
In our setup the BMC is shared over the first Ethernet interface. So
I've declared a DHCP dynamic range, all BMC's get an IP address.
Then I need to change this dynamically obtained BMC IP address in a
static one (which is in a different subnet).
So I though that simply adding into the node definition the BMC ip
address and setting a [chain="runcmd=bmcsetup"] was enough.
But it seems that this is not the case.
How can I automatically change the BMC ip address while provisioning a node?
Thanks.
Nicolas
P.S: the mkdef command:
mkdef -t node -o n039-clu "groups=all,ipmi" arch="x86_64" mgt="ipmi"
bmc="10.33.192.53" mac="0c:c4:7a:70:f3:6e" ip="10.33.240.53"
installnic=mac primarynic=mac provmethod="centos7.3-node-giga"
chain="runcmd=bmcsetup"
P.S. 2: the node definition.
lsdef n039-clu
Object name: n039-clu
arch=x86_64
