predefined compute node definition, and use one of discovery method to
find BMC . xCAT will match BMC and compute nodes during the discover phase
and setting all the required fields (mac, ip address, hostname and etc..)
Refer to this doc:

Subject: [xcat-user] How to configure IPMI?
I am trying to understand how the IP addresses for IPMI on my nodes is
actually assigned. I create my nodes manually (not by any discovery
method).
What I am not understanding right now is how to correlate the BMC MAC
address (which is only in the dhcp leases file) to the correct node, and
how to set a specific IP address, host name etc. for the BMC so the rpower,
rcons etc. commands work correctly.
Here is a sample of one of my nodes. My nodes are Dell servers with iDRAC 9
IPMI is configured to share the first NIC, and use DHCP.
Object name: cn-001
arch=x86_64
cons=ipmi
groups=ipmi,all,all,compute
installnic=mac
ip=192.168.101.3
mac=50:9A:4C:74:58:0F
mgt=ipmi
netboot=xnba
nichostnamesuffixes.em1=-comp
nichostnamesuffixes.em2=-mgt
nicips.em1=192.168.100.3
nicips.em2=192.168.101.3
os=rhels7.4
postbootscripts=otherpkgs,confignics
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles,setupntp
primarynic=mac
profile=hpccn
provmethod=rhels7.4-x86_64-netboot-hpccn
updatestatus=failed
updatestatustime=02-20-2018 16:26:47
Currently, the iDRAC adapter obtains an IP address via DHCP from the
dynamic range, without a good way for me to identify which lease belongs to
which node.
Thanks!
