Hi, David:
xCAT should able to support cumulus switch on 2.13.4,
are u looking for switch configure file in the `/var/opt/xcat`? The
configuration file is NOT needed for xCAT 2.8 and later.
you can use this script `xCAT-server/share/xcat/scripts/configonie` (check
--help) to config the cumulus switches.
the switchtype is "onie" for cumulus switch. to config the ssh (used
default username and password):
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/scripts/configonie --switches switchname --ssh
Make sure switch is defined in the xCAT db.
Thanks,
Casandra

Thanks for the earlier answer. Now I'm trying to figure out how to do xdsh
or psh to these
switches -- custom password, userid "cumulus", etc. I found a 2015 doc
mentioning /var/opt/xcat
containing definitions for various supported switch types, but I can't find
anything there.

Hi David,
xCAT does provide the support for cumulus switch provision and
configuration, please find the Doc on

you might need to add em3 and em1 to site.dhcpinterfaces.
[root@boston36 ~]# tabdump -d site|grep dhcpinterf -A6
dhcpinterfaces: The network interfaces DHCP should listen on. If
it is the same for all nodes, use a comma-separated list of the NICs.
To specify different NICs for different nodes, use the format:
"xcatmn|eth1,eth2;service|bond0",
where xcatmn is the name of the management node, DHCP should listen
on the eth1 and eth2 interfaces. All the nodes in group 'service'
should listen on the 'bond0' interface.
and well define the 2 networks in networks table.
Please feel free to ask us if any issue.

Subject: [xcat-user] provisioning CumulusLinux TOR switches with
xCAT

Currently running xCAT 2.13.4. I've been manually installing and
configuring
our CumulusLinux based switches, and it's getting old.
I've got more than a dozen deployed, and now they want OS
upgrades....
I noticed some online docs about managing switches with xCAT, but
nothing specific to cumulus linux.
I'd like to use the xcat httpd to serve the images, and maybe use
xdcp and xdsh to do the configuration
and license installation. However I don't want to mess up the rest
of the cluster.
The biggest issue is that the TOR switch management ports are on a
completely different network from
the cluster nodes. I have the xCAT master attached to that net on
interface em3. I'd like to add a small dynamic
DHCP range on that 10.4.y.z network while nodes continue to boot and
install on the existing 172.20.p.q (em1) network.
Also need to have the web server listening on em3.
Thanks,
