Hi,
I'm trying to understand the recommended way of setting up a cluster with
multiple networks.
Specifically, I note the recommendation that the BMC should have a static
IP address *in a different subnet* from the node's main IP address, and
also in a different subnet from the DHCP-assigned BMC address during
discovery. Does that imply that the same physical network should have two,
or even three, different subnets running on it?
http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/manage_clusters/ppc64le/discovery/mtms/discovery_using_defined.html
In this example, there are actually three subnets involved.
The DHCP server apparently serves the subnet 50.0.100.0/24
The BMC will be configured with a static IP on 50.0.101.0/24
And the node's IP will be on the 10.0.100.0/24 subnet.
Assuming that the BMC does not have a dedicated NIC, but is shared with the
first NIC, how would I configure the various tables in xCAT?
It looks like I would need to touch the network table, the site table, and
the node object for the management node?
Thanks!
