Documentation is what missing so we can fully move to Confluent.

As today I don't know where to find proper documentation regarding Stateless 
nodes on Confluent.

I'm aware of those links:

1. The Confluent quickstart which covers stateful and EL8 (which is starting to 
be old)
<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/confluentquickstart_el8.html>
Confluent 
quickstart<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/confluentquickstart_el8.html>
hpc.lenovo.com<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/confluentquickstart_el8.html>
[icon.png]<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/confluentquickstart_el8.html>

2. The docs, which seems more like a FAQ other than documentation:
<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/>
Documentation<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/>
hpc.lenovo.com<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/>
[icon.png]<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/>

3. LiCO information which by collateral covers some Confluent aspects:

LiCO<https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/lico/>

I really miss other than a "readthedocs"-equivalent page, a proper 
confluent-users and confluent-developer mailing lists. So we can form a 
community. We've been hijacking the xCAT Users List to talk about Confluent, 
which is not ideal, IMHO.

Theres' other issues in Confluent that halts the use on non Lenovo hardware, 
specially the branding. What didn't happen on xCAT.

But that's it. Technically Confluent as today is superior, we just need to move 
on properly.

Regards,

I appreciate the sentiment, though the internet feedback seems to be clear that 
we need to do better documenting.  We can spend more time on it and will pivot 
to at least spend more time, though producing content is not necessarily going 
to make it very discoverable... So I'm quite concerned about whether we produce 
good documentation... But I think we'll be able to prioritize at least trying 
on our end (or if folks have an idea how to better collaborate on that...)

Hi Jarrod. I'll hack around with chdef:

chdef nodeName serial=`rinv nodeName serial | head -1 | awk '{print $5}'`
chdef nodeName mtm=`rinv nodeName model | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}'`

That worked for me.

Confluent is way superior, however this cluster is still on xCAT.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, as far as I can recall, you would be on your own.  It should be 
reasonably possible to use sed/grep to change rinv output into nodech commands 
to achieve it.

For what it is worth, the confluent 'nodeinventory' command has a '-s' option 
to do this, but doesn't have anything to do with the xCAT tables.

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] Fill the VPD table with rinv

Hello, is it possible to fill the VPD table for a given node with rinv command?

I'm only interested in Serial Number and MTM.

rinv noneName vpd works, but it does not get registered when I issue lsdef 
nodeName.

Regards,
