If chdef is not working as you expect, you can always use tabedit nics to open 
the table in an editor and manually edit it. Be careful in there, though. It's 
easy to put info into the wrong field.

Not sure what you're asking in the first question. Can you send the commands 
you ran along with the output of an lsdef for the node?

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] Networking: groups and nodes; nic* attributes

I have two questions:

1. If a node belongs to a group with nic* defined are those additions added to 
the node's def?

for eg, if I have an existing node  *without* those nics defined, does the 
installation/config process add those values to the node? (lsdef before gives 
nothing, lsdef after has nic* entries)

2. How does one remove errant nicalias entries (for example, any nic* key/value 
in reality) from a node's definition? Given that chdef -m/-p doesn't work ( 
https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/domain_name_resolution/domain_name_resolution.html#setting-individual-nic-attribute-values
)

I have tried re-defining the values I wanted to change and just ended up with 
two entries for nicaliases.ib0= in the node def?

cheers
L.
