So BOOTIF is expanded by xnba (or elilo with xnba) to be 'the mac address of

Thanks for your answer.
So it goes like this :
- the node firmware does its native PXE
- the node receive xnba
- xnba tries serveral PXE (in what order ? BIOS order ?) and expands
BOOTIF for what follows
correct ?
There is some extended syntax to support multiple network cards that can be
tricky, so we used client-side expansion of the mac address where possible.
Also supporting multiple interfaces is a bit easier.
Are you talking about
https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/domain_name_resolution/domain_name_resolution.html#specifying-additional-network-interfaces-for-cluster-nodes
?
What about installnic in noderes table ? Is this for stateful only ?
Thanks for your help
