Hi Casandra Thanks for the reply,
Ran those commands you And also did a nodepurge cloud001 on the prod server And It’s still picking up the prod servers address when doing an rinstall ( John From: Casandra H Qiu <cxh...@us.ibm.com> Sent: 27 May 2020 15:42 To: xCAT Users Mailing list <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [xcat-user] PXE-E18: Server response timeout. did u run this command on XX.XX.X.XXX server? makedhcp -d nodename and two more command to clean up from prod cluster, you should remove the node definition too, at lease need to remove mac address. makedns -d nodename makegocons -d nodename then on the new test cluster: makedns nodename makegocons nodename makedhcp nodename nslookup nodename <<<<<--- make sure it return correct address thanks, Casandra Qiu ...................................................................

When you have two dhcp servers on the same wire/subnet, need to make sure that the MAC address is only recognized by one of them. If the "production" server is running xcat, use makedhcp -d nodename to get rid of the association over there, and presume (or check, with makedhcp -q nodename) that it's registered in your new cluster. My guess is that you pulled out a compute node from the production cluster to play with. -- ddj On May 27, 2020, at 5:08 AM, John Roche <john.ro...@crick.ac.uk<mailto:john.ro...@crick.ac.uk>> wrote: [A[root@xcat-test ~]# xcatprobe xcatmn -i eth0 [mn]: Checking all xCAT daemons are running...
