Configuring static ip on bmc

[aaronhcarr]

What I've done at this point is to create node definitions.

Then boot hosts into gensis for discovery. Once there, use either the mac or the service tag to find the UUID and associate the discovered node to the definition.

The one thing that isn't working as I expect is bmc setup.

Basically, each host has the same ip on 3 different nets.

172.16.1.101 on provisioning net 172.16.2.101 on management net 172.16.3.101 on mpi net

bmc is part of the node definition.

[root@master ~]# lsdef -t node -o c001

Object name: c001 arch=x86_64 bmc=192.168.3.81 bmcpassword=calvin bmcusername=root chain=runcmd=bmcsetup cons=ipmi cpucount=40 cputype=Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6248 CPU @ 2.50GHz currchain=boot currstate=install centos7.7-x86_64-compute disksize=sda:447GB groups=compute,all installnic=mac ip=192.168.1.81 mac=bc:97:e1:57:aa:d8 memory=385541MB mgt=ipmi

When the association happens, an attempt to run bmc setup is made, but it fails, and it seems to be missing the ip and network.

I'm sure it's something I'm doing. I'm not putting the data where xCAT expects it.

Anyone have any insight as to what is happening?

If this is still an issue could you please re-provide the screenshot as I it not longer appears accessible and also provide

tabdump ipmi tabdump networks tabdump hosts

Thanks

I don't have access to that cluster anymore.

This is still an issue with Dell hardware.

Here is the error screen:
