If you want node01-ib to be in DNS (assuming it's not handled by some external DNS server), then it needs to be in /etc/hosts either by manually adding it or via the hoses table and running makehosts.
As for your second question, I'm no expert at regexp, but I believe you would have node01.ib. It would be pretty easy to test, though. Assuming node01 is the provisioning name of the node, and node01-ib is the desired name if its IPoIB interface, you would define node01 as a node and setup nics.nichostnamesuffixes as "-ib" for that node or node group. If the IPoIB network should have a different domain name than the provisioning net, then you can define that in networks.domain for the ib network. An example: nodels n01 nics -b n01: nics.nichostnamesuffixes: ib0!-ib (inherited from group compute) n01: nics.nicips: ib0!172.25.0.11 (inherited from group compute) n01: nics.nicnetworks: ib0!ibnet (inherited from group compute) n01: nics.nictypes: ib0!Infiniband (inherited from group compute) tabdump nics #node,nicips,nichostnamesuffixes,nichostnameprefixes,nictypes,niccustomscripts,nicnetworks,nicaliases,nicextraparams,nicdevices,nicsadapter,comments,disable "compute","|\D+(\d+).*$|ib0!172.25.0.(($1-0)+10)|","ib0!-ib",,"ib0!Infiniband",,"ib0!ibnet",,,,,, Regards, Christian Caruthers Lenovo Professional Services Mobile: 757-289-9872 -----Original Message----- From: Lachlan Simpson <lachlan.simp...@unsw.edu.au> Sent: Monday, March 2, 2020 9:44 PM To: xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [External] Re: [xcat-user] Networking: groups and nodes; nic* attributes Also, a follow up. If I have machine node01 nicips.ib0=10.1.1.6 nichostnamesuffixes.ib0=-ib Should create the /etc/hosts entry node01-ib 10.1.1.6 If I *also* have in the ib group (which node01 belongs to) nicaliases.ib0=|(k\d+)|($1).ib| does that create node01.ib OR node01-ib.ib?
