Hi Jarrod, I ran the following commands:
makedhcp idpx8n004eth0 -s 'filename elilo-x64.efi'
makedhcp idpx8n042eth0 -s 'filename elilo-x64.efi'
to try to boot the nodes we're having issues with, and now see the
following entries:
host idpx8n004eth0 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet e4:1f:13:f0:32:00;
fixed-address 172.20.129.54;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede host-name = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede server.next-server = ac:14:80:14;
supersede server.filename = "yaboot";
}
host idpx8n004eth0 {
dynamic;
deleted;
}
host idpx8n004eth0 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet e4:1f:13:f0:32:00;
fixed-address 172.20.129.54;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede host-name = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede server.next-server = ac:14:80:14;
}
host idpx8n042eth0 {
dynamic;
deleted;
}
host idpx8n042eth0 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet e4:1f:13:f0:3d:dc;
fixed-address 172.20.129.92;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "idpx8n042eth0";
supersede host-name = "idpx8n042eth0";
supersede server.next-server = ac:14:80:14;
}
Is that right?
Thanks!

Re: [xcat-user] elilo-x64.efi boot not setting up properly
So that was in conjunction with the 'quick fix' elilo.pm. The trick for
keeping that was that nodeset induces a "makedhcp -s 'filename
elilo-x64.efi'". dhcp.pm is currently oblivious.
You can as a workaround do 'makedhcp <noderasge> -s 'filename
elilo-x64.efi'" until such time the proper uefi support comes in (with
xnba method).

Subject: [xcat-user] elilo-x64.efi boot not setting up properly
Hi,
We have some iDataPlex dx360 M3 nodes with UEFI firmware. We were directed
to use "elilo" as the netboot method in the noderes table, which is
supposed to point it to the elilo-x64.efi entry in /tftpboot, but when we
"makedhcp -n" and then "makedhcp -a", it creates entries such as the
following:
host idpx8n004eth0 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet e4:1f:13:f0:32:00;
fixed-address 172.20.129.54;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede host-name = "idpx8n004eth0";
supersede server.next-server = ac:14:80:14;
supersede server.filename = "yaboot";
}
or even in some cases:
host idpx8n010eth0 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet e4:1f:13:f0:3b:b4;
fixed-address 172.20.129.60;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "idpx8n010eth0";
supersede host-name = "idpx8n010eth0";
if option vendor-class-identifier = "ScaleMP" {
supersede server.filename = "vsmp/pxelinux.0";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.0";
}
supersede server.next-server = ac:14:80:14;
}
The yaboot entry is bad news because when the node is booted it tries
loading that file and it ends up hanging the IMM adapter and we have to go
manually power cycle it. The pxelinux.0 is less of a problem, but still
not correct. Our noderes entries look like this:
[root@idpx1mgr ~]# tabdump noderes|egrep 'idpx8n004|idpx8n010'
"idpx8n004eth0",,"elilo","172.20.128.20","172.20.128.20",,,,,,,"172.20.128.20",,,,,,
"idpx8n010eth0",,"elilo","172.20.128.20","172.20.128.20",,,,,,,"172.20.128.20",,,,,,
[root@idpx1mgr ~]#
Can someone point us in the right direction here, so that we end up
loading the correct (elilo-x64.efi) file on PXE boot?
Thanks!
