or this node was used before? If it was a an old node, please clean up
the mac attribute and run 'nodeset n042 offline'. Could you check
whether the mac is the node which you are trying to discover?
And could you check the target node has been added in 'discoverydata'
table? by running command 'tabdump discoverydata'.
Haaa yes, you're right, excellent.
So my "no nodes free" problem was because every time I specified the
host MAC address in my "mkdef" command:
mkdef -t node -o spiro-n042-clu groups="all,ipmi,node-giga" arch=x86_64
mgt=ipmi bmc=172.30.192.56 mac=0c:c4:7a:71:f6:ba ip=172.30.240.56
provmethod="centos7.3-x86_64-node-giga"
As soon as I removed the MAC address, "nodediscoverstart" said:
nodediscoverstart -V noderange=n042
Sequential Discovery: Started:
Number of free node names: 1
====================Free Nodes===================
NODE HOST IP BMC IP
spiro-n042-clu 172.30.240.56 172.30.192.56
But still if I look at the node console, it fails:

I'll look into this next week.
Thanks.

Sure, here it is:
Object name: n042
arch=x86_64
bmc=172.30.192.56
bmcpassword=admin
bmcport=0
bmcusername=admin
chain=runcmd=bmcsetup,osimage=centos7.3-x86_64-node-giga
cons=ipmi
groups=all,ipmi,node-giga
installnic=mac
ip=172.30.240.56
mac=0c:c4:7a:71:f6:ba
mgt=ipmi
netboot=xnba
nfsserver=172.30.240.1
postbootscripts=otherpkgs
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
primarynic=mac
provmethod=centos7.3-x86_64-node-giga
serialflow=hard
serialport=1
serialspeed=115200
tftpdir=/tftpboot
tftpserver=172.30.240.1
xcatmaster=172.30.240.1
If that matters the nodes I'm installing are x86_64 Supermicro servers.
BIOS is set in "legacy" mode (*not* UEFI).
Cheers.
