Having more thoughts on the problem. I can see from the bmcreq.xml file that the node is sending bmc mac address to xcat server while making request for bmc config data. I am not sure how this then supposed to work on the server. My xcat server does not know anything about bmc MAC address so it will not be able to give any reasonable answer I guess.
However my xcat server knows that node-1-59 which is defined in group rack1 has an entry in ipmi table for that group. so I guess the client should be sending its IP address to a server so the server can look it up in the ipmi table. Do I need to populate more tables on the xcat server to make bmcsetup work? regards, Wojciech On 1 May 2012 17:07, Wojciech Turek <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have got stuck at the bmcsetup stage.
