xCAT discovery only discover things that PXE boot (unless explicitly running 
bmcdiscover).  If the BMC is shared port, it's fine because the MAC that does 
PXE is not the BMC.

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] Sequential-based discovery when BMC is on 
management network

Hello,

We have some machines with shared BMC on the first network interface.

On other cluster management softwares - Rocks for instance - things get really 
messy when BMC is discovered as a compute node during the process.

So, how xCAT handles this scenarios? It properly discovers the BMC as a BMC 
device or it should be done with some kind of intervention?

I took a look at the docs but it only covers scenarios with a segregated BMC 
network: 
https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/manage_clusters/ppc64le/discovery/seq_discovery.html

Thanks,
