Hi there,

I have been successfully deploying CentOS7 to a VM with a defined MAC address 
up until recently. The problem now is that discovery fails due to the following 
message:

xcat.genesis.minixcatd: The request is processing by xCAT master...
xcat.genesis.minixcatd: The request is already processed by xCAT master, but 
not matched.
xcat.genesis.dodiscovery: Beginning echo information to discovery packet file...
Could no open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such 
file or directory
Could no open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such 
file or directory
xcat.genesis.dodiscovery: Discovery packet file is ready.
xcat.genesis.dodiscovery: Sending the discovery packet to xCAT 
(10.40.115.100:3001)...
xcat.genesis.dodiscovery: Sleeping 5 seconds...

Obviously I don't require ipmi for a VM. I've searched through the xCAT tables 
to remove all ipmi/bmcsetup references related to this node - I've even rebuilt 
the xCAT management node to make doubly sure that all tables were empty in 
order to add back only the minimal information required. Is there something 
more specific I should be looking at removing from the definitions below?
