Hi Thomas,
Hello, thanks for your time
I don't think 'noderes.installnic' could meet your expectation: PXE from eth0, but set IP to eth2 after provisioning (DHCP or static).
Obviously your right since it doesn't work. I'm still curious about what is this attribute for and an example of its use beyond what the man says then.
I'm still curious about your new discovering, looks like it is discovered by eth0 with other method, instead of eth2 with switch based discovery.
I was answered in a previous thread that it was discovered with the MTMS method since it once had been discovered (so, it's not like if it was a brand new node) : is this correct ?
If yes do you imply this should not work this way ?
And as discovery is only done once, is it acceptable for you to set MAC of eth0 to `noip` and then refresh dhcp? This could make dhcp server not answering the MAC of eth0, in that your node always use eth2 for PXE.
Well this would imply to set it manually, correct ? It could work but I don't like this approach compared to just being able to state I want my ip address to be on eht2.
Note that in any case I can make sure the BIOS boot order is the way I want it to be but it would have been cool to be able not to worry about it. Besides, I wanted to learn how things worked if booted on the "wrong" interface.
