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 > wrote: [A[root@xcat-test ~]# xcatprobe xcatmn -i eth0 [mn]: Checking all xCAT daemons are running...
