If you nodeset <node> shell Then boot it, ssh in and run bmcsetup by hand, the output may be informative as to why the BMC didn't get set up correctly.

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 bmc=10.33.192.53 bmcpassword=admin bmcport=0 bmcusername=admin chain=runcmd=bmcsetup groups=all,ipmi installnic=mac ip=10.33.240.53 mac=0c:c4:7a:70:f3:6e mgt=ipmi netboot=xnba nfsserver=10.33.240.1 os=centos7.3 postbootscripts=otherpkgs postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles primarynic=mac profile=node-giga provmethod=centos7.3-x86_64-node-giga tftpdir=/tftpboot tftpserver=10.33.240.1 xcatmaster=10.33.240.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
