Hi Thomas,
Just a bit confusing about your context. So you have a node with 2 NICs are enabled PXE boot in BIOS, and both NICs are connected in the same network with MN's provision NIC?
If this is your case? why we have the two NIC in the same LAN, do you want a bonding after provisioning?
Or the two NICs are connected into different networks, while MN's dhcp server listen on both the networks. Could you brief describe your cluster networking design?

Hello,
I'll try to sum up here (sorry for the new thread) the quesions I have
left about nics in a stateless mode after some (unsuccessfull) tests and
posts.
Basically, in a context where nodes have more than one nic on wich they
can PXE boot and only one you want to be configured once provisionned,
you'd like to dissociate the nic used to PXE and the nic once the node
discovered and netbooted.
One among the several reasons for that would be to get immune to bios
PXE ordering.
I searched in the direction of noderes.installnic or nics.nicips
attributes, confignics postscript or a combination of those.
As a matter of fact, othewise, xNBA boot will "follow" (via BOOTIF
passed to initrd) whatever nic first succeed (in bios order) PXE'ing and
the node will end up beeing netbooted and configured on the nic which
initially did PXE.
I couldn't fully figure out what to do or how to do it.
Which of these attribute should I use and how ? Do they need to work in
combination with confignics or any other postscipts ?
A related question would be : how do you set up a static ip in stateless
mode ?
Thanks
