thanks, Kilian.
it's possible can your add few lines to describe "namedincludes" attribute
in the "site" table on the xCAT readdoc.
looks like you added this attribute to xcat-core on 2017, but nothing
mentioned on the xcat-doc,
Thanks,
Casandra Qiu

For that very same use case, we ended up proposing
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_xcat2_xcat-2Dcore_pull_4497&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=n1LR_Py9TQX0dVqfGTbLHUMGx25-C8VtBDS0nCzyNXY&m=00VvPI5okNLjAZIBh1dAeVxSs1pd7DW7ZV9iMeQe5AA&s=2v0XDbltq02v8CVBfrZnUTVKfPq-IQ0xMcZBG5JdYQ0&e=
, which has now been
included upstream.
So you can now use the "namedincludes" attribute in your "site" table,
to specify a list of configuration files paths to include in the
xCAT-generated named.conf, to cover those cases.
For instance, we're using this:
# tabdump -w key==namedincludes site
#key,value,comments,disable
"namedincludes","/etc/named.rfc1912.zones,/etc/named/local.conf,",,
which results in the following lines to be included in the
/etc/named.conf that makedns generates:
include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named/local.conf";
There, you can add all your zone delegations and custom options you
need in /etc/named/local.conf, and they will be left alone when when
named.conf is regenerated.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
