[xcat-user] confignetwork and IPv6/Dual stack

2022-01-20 Thread Christopher Walker
Is there an example of configuring a dual stack network using confignetwork? Google finds an example for confignics: https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Configuring_IPv6_in_xCAT_Cluster/#configure-ipv6-addresses-and-gateway-on-the-compute-nodes-for-ethernet-adapters But it doesn't seem to work f

[xcat-user] confignetwork - adding "-r" option to delete unwanted network card config

2022-01-07 Thread Christopher Walker
I've written a patch to confignetwork allowing it to delete network cards that are not configured. This fixes https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/6142 I think it could do with some testing by others before it becomes a pull request. Anyway, here it is: https://github.com/ChristopherWalke

[xcat-user] Removing config files for unconfigured NICs with nicnetworks

Currently we use "confignics -s -r" to configure the install NIC and remove the config files for the other nics that exist, but are not configured. Moving to a new xCAT version and confignetwork, I'd like to replicate that behaviour (namely removing config files for other nics). I can't find in

We have a problem with "configics -s -r" not running reliably in a postscript. While we have some infiniband nodes, the majority use only one network for install and as the single network for the nodes. On node install, we wish to assign a static IP address on the install nic, and deconfigure
