hi Mark, let me explain a bit more. Sorry for not being detailed earlier in my response.
the node is part of a ROCKS cluster, it is physically( router/switch setup related) separated from xcat setup/cluster (here is its config) [root@dfs-4-1 ~]# ifconfig p6p1 p6p1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.1.129.24 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.1.255.255 inet6 fe80::b696:91ff:fe60:f7ac prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether b4:96:91:60:f7:ac txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 156282152558 bytes 188592752007088 (171.5 TiB) RX errors 0 dropped 13900 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 243978703293 bytes 322481175300109 (293.2 TiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 My current xcat mgmt. setup is from a root@hpc3-xcat-1 system-files]# tabdump networks #netname,net,mask,mgtifname,gateway,dhcpserver,tftpserver,nameservers,ntpservers,logservers,dynamicrange,staticrange,staticrangeincrement,nodehostname,ddnsdomain,vlanid,domain,mtu,comments,disable *"compute_net_1","10.240.58.0","255.255.254.0","eno1","10.240.58.1",,"<xcatmaster>","10.240.58.4,8.8.8.8,128.200.192.202",,,"10.240.58.221-10.240.58.240","10.240.58.4-10.240.58.220",,,,,"local","1500",,* "mgmt-net1","10.240.62.0","255.255.254.0","eno1.1","10.240.62.1",,,,,,"10.240.62.244-10.240.62.253","10.240.62.4-10.240.62.243",,,,,,,, "ib-net1","10.240.60.0","255.255.254.0","eno1.2","10.240.60.1",,,,,,"10.240.60.231-10.240.60.240","10.240.60.4-10.240.60.230",,,,,,,, "crsp-net1","10.20.20.0","255.255.0.0","eno1.3","10.20.20.1",,,,,,"10.20.20.151-10.20.20.200","10.20.20.7-10.20.20.150",,,,,,,, I need to bring the node from 10.1.129.x to some 10.240.58.x address. As is - the node is not pingable from xcat mgmt node. the node is a bare metal ( Dell R series ). Current version of xcat is: 2.16.1 [root@hpc3-xcat-1 system-files]# rpm -qa |grep -i xcat xCAT-2.16-snap202006161607.x86_64 xCAT-genesis-scripts-ppc64-2.16-snap202006161607.noarch xCAT-genesis-base-x86_64-2.14.5-snap201811190037.noarch perl-xCAT-2.16-snap202006161607.noarch ipmitool-xcat-1.8.18-3.x86_64 xCAT-probe-2.16-snap202006161607.noarch xCAT-genesis-scripts-x86_64-2.16-snap202006161607.noarch xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64-2.14.5-snap201811160710.noarch xCAT-server-2.16-snap202006161607.noarch xCAT-client-2.16-snap202006161607.noarch elilo-xcat-3.14-4.noarch syslinux-xcat-3.86-2.noarch grub2-xcat-2.02-0.76.el7.1.snap201905160255.noarch xCAT-buildkit-2.16-snap202006161607.noarch [root@hpc3-xcat-1 system-files]# thanks.
