Wow, thanks, Andy, that is a really amazing script to configure the network interfaces.
It is a very useful note indeed, thanks again.

We have an issue on some Dell nodes that I don't recall if it's the C6420's or just other poweredge servers. On some Dell nodes,CentOS names interfaces as "p1p2". We worked around that with a customized "confignetwork" postscript to update the "grep" that finds available interfaces ... https://github.com/ncsa/xcat-tools/blob/9f62e142a4d4bb7c2850634a65ed791fe2de070c/postscripts/confignetwork#L117 Cheers, --Andy On Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 9:52 AM Chiu, Peter (STFC,RAL,RALSP) <peter.c...@stfc.ac.uk<mailto:peter.c...@stfc.ac.uk>> wrote: Dear All, We are thinking of adding a DELL Power Edge C6400 server (a 6400 chassis with 4 x C6420 PowerEdge Units each with 2 Intel Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs, 128GB memory and iDRAC Enterprise) to our xCAT cluster in diskless mode. Before investing on this hardware, I wonder if anyone has any experience with this set up and willing to share any watch-outs. Many thanks.
