Jarrod, I think you may have shed some light on it in that last message. I think it may be functioning correctly I just misunderstood something.
The ip of this host in question is within the dynamic range. Upon reflection I guess it makes sense that it was not always getting the same IP.. Its dynamic. In our existing system we use DCHP to always hand out the same IP to hosts, and I would like to replicate that behaviour. Should I just remove the dynamic range from my networks table? Since I don't want any hosts to get dynamic ips?

It can omit fixed-address and fix only the name and let the ip float, which is why there is any way to get a host declaration without address, but that shouldn't apply... It may warrant some sort of remote access or screen sharing if possible since it sounds like these issues are fine...

I tried 'dig @localhost node088' and it did not resolve, but it did when I did 'dig @localhost node088.cluster.company.com'. Also this is the line I have in my hosts table: "node088","10.2.129.88","node088.cluster.company.com",,, Dynamic range does not overlap with static.

Sent from Lotus Traveler Eric Chennells --- [xcat-user] DHCP Question --- From:"Eric Chennells" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Date:Tue, Apr 3, 2012 6:43 PM Subject[xcat-user] DHCP Question Hello, I am having a problem with the dhcpd configuration on my xCAT 2.7 install. When I run makedhcp <nodename> it creates an entry in /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases but it is missing some information. I need to manually add the line "fixed address 10.x.x.x", as well as add the full hostname of the machine, by default I only get the name of the machine not the rest of the network addresss. For example: host node088 { dynamic; hardware ethernet 00:30:48:c3:9a:7a; supersede server.ddns-hostname = "node088"; supersede host-name = "node088"; if option vendor-class-identifier = "ScaleMP" { supersede server.filename = "vsmp/pxelinux.0"; } else { supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.0"; } supersede server.next-server = 0a:02:80:97; } I must manually add fixed address below the hardware ethernet line, as well as and "cluster.companyname.com" after the node088.
