[xcat-user] Looking for suggestion on configuring default route in conjunction with confignics.

Hi, Was looking for a some suggestions on a simplistic way to configure some external facing management nodes to automatically update their gateway based upon the gateway entry in the networks table. I have configured the extra network interface in the nics table and running confignics postscri

I would suggest separating out your host name from you node names and utilize the hostname fields and a simple postscript to change hostname based upon it's ip lookup from dns simply done and keeps separation just requires a little thought on layout ie hosts table #node,ip,hostnames,otherinterf

Ah, I see that you are already setting it up with separate subdomains. My apologies, missed that section when I was quickly skimming :-) Seems like really the only issue is the search path on the headnode seeing the 10 gig first before the 1 gig management network. Not sure if there's a way aro

Hi all, Our network setup is like so: - 1Gb ethernet (deployment / xCAT / management network) - 10Gb ethernet - out-of-band (IMM/BMC) Right now, our DNS is handled by setting up search paths on our xcat server (via /etc/resolv.conf), with the *fastest* pat
