Thank you, Casandra.
So in effect I have to manually merge the BMC information into my
predefined node? I think I can do that.
One more question. I'm still confused about how xCAT gets the correct IP
address into the correct system. This is what may new merged node looks
like.
Object name: cn-002
arch=x86_64
bmc=192.168.101.201
bmcpassword=calvin
bmcusername=root
chain=runcmd=bmcsetup,shell
cons=ipmi
groups=ipmi,dellr230,all,compute
hwtype=bmc
installnic=mac
ip=192.168.101.4
mgt=ipmi
mtm=DELL:PowerEdge R230
netboot=xnba
nichostnamesuffixes.em1=-comp
nichostnamesuffixes.em2=-mgt
nicips.em1=192.168.100.4
nicips.em2=192.168.101.4
nodetype=mp
os=rhels7.4
postbootscripts=otherpkgs,confignics
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles,setupntp
primarynic=mac
profile=hpccn
provmethod=rhels7.4-x86_64-netboot-hpccn
