Unless, perhaps, there is a nics table definition for node01 that overrides the
group entry you're talking about.

Re question 1, imagine this:
lsdef node01
Object name: node01
arch=x86_64
bmc=10.197.32.01
cons=ipmi
ip=10.197.34.01
mac=38:68:dd:13:f4:a0
mgt=ipmi
netboot=xnba
os=centos7.7
profile=compute
status=booted
Then I add node01 to a group called "other_network", which now has definition
lsdef -t group other_network Object name: mpi
members=node01
nicaliases.eno2=|node(\d+)|($1).mpi|
nichostnamesuffixes.eno2=-mpi
nicips.eno2=|node(\d+)|10.197.36.($1+0)|
nicnetworks.eno2=mpi
nictypes.eno2=ethernet
So. When I now do lsdef on node01, does it look like the above, or does it look
like this:
lsdef node01
Object name: node01
arch=x86_64
bmc=10.197.32.01
cons=ipmi
ip=10.197.34.01
mac=38:68:dd:13:f4:a0
mgt=ipmi
netboot=xnba
os=centos7.7
profile=compute
status=booted
nicaliases.eno2=node01.mpi
nichostnamesuffixes.eno2=-mpi
nicips.eno2=10.197.36.01
nicnetworks.eno2=mpi
nictypes.eno2=Ethernet
Now that I type it out - and I read your answer to question 2, my presumption
is that it's the latter - since there is no way to remove the nic* attributes
in node01 without removing it from the group?
Cheers
