if mac address already define in the node definition, it should not get to
dodiscovery phase.
if you think only this new server services this mac address right now,
maybe try to clean up the system by:
service xcatd restart
makedns -n
makedhcp -n
makedhcp -a
then verify by:
makedhcp -q <nodename>
xcatprobe detect_dhcpd
nslookup <nodename>
if still hit same issue, I like to have xcat snap, or at least following
output
tabdump site
tabdump networks
ip addr show
lsdef <nodename>
lsdef -t osimage <node's provmethod>
output of xcat log at the time of node provision:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/xcat/cluster.log
/var/log/xcat/compute.log
some output from console too
sorry if ask too much, you can send me the outputs direct to my email
address .
Thanks,

Hi Casandra,
My mistake,
I just changed it there to eno1 as this was like this on the prod server
It’s back to eth0,
Still makes no difference unfortunately

from your previous output, xcat-test is node name and eth0 is the interface

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.

Hi,
I recently build an xcat server
Rpower works
But doing an rinstall, it keeps failing at the PXE

I’m doing rinstal <node name> -u
It uses UEFI
I’m starting to pull my hair now on what’s the

Here is the error I see when I’m doing an rcons.
