Thank you, that filled in a big part of the puzzle!
I am still confused how to get bmcdiscover to add the information to the
existing node, instead of creating a new one.
bmcdiscover seems to generate a new second node, and I'm not sure how to
correlate that to the existing one. The page you pointed me to seems to
suggest this is a manual process?
node-dell-poweredge-r230-7q3z7m2:
objtype=node
groups=all
bmc=192.168.101.201
cons=ipmi
mgt=ipmi
mtm=DELL:PowerEdge R230
serial=7Q3Z7M2
bmcusername=root
bmcpassword=calvin
And this is the one I already have predefined.
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
