I have a very similar setup, and actually I would suggest to use the 1Gb interface for PXE booting, as well as for all the other administrative tasks, to keep as much unnecessary traffic off your 10 Gb network. Which interface you use for PXE booting has very little to do with which NICs are getting configured later, or how traffic is routed later.
That's what I thought installnic attribute was for and the purpose of this previous post :

I'm using the ip and nicips.eth0 and nicips.eth2 attributes on the node to configure the correct IP addresses that I want. Also, be sure to use nicextraparams.eth2=MTU=9000 if you want Jumbo frames on your 10 GB network.
Ok, I'll check that out.
Finally, I'm using the nichostnamesuffixes attribute so the nodes have different, but predictable, names on the 1 Gb network and the 10 Gb network.
Thanks, I will investigate in that direction. -- Thomas H. _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
