Hello,
Currently, I'm using xCAT 2.16.1 on CentOS 8.2 to provision CentOS 8.3
stateless nodes using switch based discovery.
I've been doing this for many years with success.
I always did that in either one of the 2 following cases :
a) no switch port were using splitters
b) all switch ports were using splitter
For b) I did successfully use either the n/x or the n.x syntax
Today, I encountered what may seem an xCAT issue (not sure though, it
could be a switch configuration issue) for it is the first time I've got
a switch where I mix direct and split port attachement.
The actual switch is an Arista 7050TX-72Q: 48x 1/10GbE (RJ 45) and 6x
40GbE, where all nodes are rj45 attached except one which is connected
using one of the 4 link of a 40G port using a splitter
What happens is the following :
a) nodeA on port 1 was previously provisionned using switch-based
discovery without any problem
b) I set up the node definition for nodeS which is connected to port
49.1 (I used this dot-based syntax)
-> nodeS is discovered with the name of nodeA and nodeA is assigned
nodeS mac adress
so things get mixed up.
Can you help me figure out
- what syntax is the canonical one for split ports
- if this is an xCAT problem or a switch problem
?
Thanks for your help
