I am using xCAT 2.14.4 on RedHat 7.4.

I have BMC discovery working (with the MTMS approach, and using different
IP addresses. This works well:

- Create the predefined node (I do this before running bmcdiscover)
- run bmcdiscover to create tne node-model_type-serial nodes.
- power on the nodes
- xCAT matches the node-model_type-serial nodes with my predefined nodes.
- xCAT populates the mac address and other fields.
- on the nodes, the BMC changes to the static IP I want to use.

But when I then delete my node object and try to repeat the process,
discovery fails:

- Create the predefined node.
- run bmcdiscover. Bmcdiscover will report that the node already exists.
- From here on, I can't figure out how to get the mac address to populate.

So how can I re-run discovery to populate the mac address, when the BMC
already has its static IP?

Thanks!
