What is the output of ‘nodeset n02 stat’? Also, what is the contents of the
chain table (tabdump chain)?

Subject: [xcat-user] How to disable BMC discovery
Hello everyone,
We are trying to test xcat out in our cluster and I need some help.
Here is the issue I have:
I have followed the following document to setup the environment:
https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start/
I added my first node manually, as I did not want auto discovery. Here is my
[root@xcatmaster xcat]# lsdef n02
Object name: n02
arch=x86_64
groups=compute
installnic=mac
mac=00:24:E8:36:AD:95
netboot=xnba
os=centos6.9
postbootscripts=otherpkgs
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
primarynic=mac
profile=compute
provmethod=centos6.9-x86_64-install-compute
The node above does not have BMC, it is a standard PC. when I power on the
node, i see the following messages in syslog:
Oct 24 10:16:20 10.1.1.61 (none) xcat.genesis.dodiscovery: Beginning echo
information to discovery packet file...

I think it is trying to look for BMC and not finding it, therefore, it just
keep looking for it? I am no expert in xcat, but is there a way to disable BMC
discovery in xcat for nodes that do not have BMC?
Please help, I need to get this thing up and going.
Thanks a lot!
