Hi Carl, I wasn’t expecting a so complete answer like this. Thats awesome.
So you don’t have to create a switch definition as described here, on the Add New Switch Types section: https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/networks/ethernet_switches/ethernet_switches.html#switch-management <https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/networks/ethernet_switches/ethernet_switches.html#switch-management> I see that you run makegocons, so there’s a way to run a rcon switch and get in the serial console?
