confignics is deprecated and has been replaced by confignetwork, I suspect
confignics may be interfering.
More information for confignetwork and IB adapters available here:
https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/networks/infiniband/network_configuration.html
Try this instead and see if you have better results:
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles,confignetwork -s --ibaports=1

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] Node nic config error during install
xCAT 2.16.1
CentOS 8.3
When the node finishes installing, the network doesn't come up.
The postscript is set to do it.
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles,confignics
--ibaports=1,confignetwork -s
However, it doesn't.
If I attempt to run it manually, I get this error:
[root@c001 xcatpost]# /xcatpost/confignetwork -s
[I]: NetworkManager is active
[E]:Error: Can not determine proper install nic.
[I]: There is no other nic device to configure.
There is an ifcfg-eno1 file present, which is wrong:
[root@c001 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eno1
# Generated by parse-kickstart
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eno1
UUID=3f02c4a7-daf5-4404-8fe7-43492454ef92
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPV6INIT=yes
PROXY_METHOD=none
BROWSER_ONLY=no
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME="System eno1"
There is also an ifcfg-xcat-eno1 file, which is what should be configured.
[root@c001 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-xcat-eno1
DEVICE=eno1
IPADDR=172.16.0.26
NETMASK=255.255.252.0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=xcat-eno1
AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=9
MTU=1500
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP
group default qlen 1000
link/ether 18:03:73:1c:77:b8
lsdef for the node shows these:
ip=172.16.0.26
mac=18:03:73:1c:77:b8
Any idea why this is failing?
This is a first attempt to get this set up on 8.x
