Hi Russell,

I thought I would reply off list for now, we have just received some Dell C6100 series nodes and I was under the impression that xCat could not program the BMC for these nodes. Did you have do do any manual configuration in the BMC or make any changes to the xCat code to get this working?

Hi all,

Putting together a rack of some Dell c6100 series nodes, and am running into some strange bmcsetup errors.

Everything appears to be configured properly on the xcat management node, both the compute and the BMC networks all ping without an issue. When I tell a node to do a bmcsetup, it displays the following error on the screen:

Unable to prove root on your IP approves of this request



It then waits for a random period of time, tries again and always succeeds the second time with no errors being shown.

The management node does not have access to the internet, and as a result it is also dumping these bind warnings out to /var/log/messages. These only appear when the compute node is requesting config parameters from the MN:

Could these issues be a side effect of bind not having access to the internet to do root DNS lookups? It seems unlikely, but given that it seems to always succeed a second time, and after succeeding everything works perfectly, I'm at a loss.


Thanks for any help!
