I have my xCAT system mostly up and running, and am trying to resolve some
of the last details. This is xCAT 2.13.8 on RedHat 7.4.
Among those problems is that xCAT (specifically, updatenode) creates an
"impossible" node. I created one node called "mn" to cover the management
node (see below for the details), and one compute node cn-001. updatenode
is adding a third node named with the FQDN of the management node. I am
calling this an "impossible" node because node names aren't supposed to
contain periods.
Specifically, I see this "impossible" node when I use:
updatenode '/cn-.*'
Why would updatenode even try to update the management node?
I have a second, and potentially related, problem:
After a fresh install, hostname and hostname -f both return the FQDN:
mn.dev.sabre2.sandiego.edu
At some point after installing xCAT (I have not nailed down when), this
changes. hostname will continue to return the FQDN, but hostname -f will
return "mn". Of course, I would expect the reverse.
Thanks!
Here is the output of lsdef -l
