It turns out the /xcatpost/updateflag.awk was sending the status back to the
xcatd and causing nodeset to run.
This could not resolve the ip address and created a new DHCP entry without the
fixed-address.
I had added new entries to the networks table. Restarted xcatd solved the
problem.

Odd. FYI, fixed-address should only be missing if the name 'hv001'
resolves to an address that overlaps in the networks.dynamicrange.
I am unaware of any circumstance where it would change one moment to next
unless dynamicrange was modified in the middle of operation...

Subject: [xcat-user] DHCP lease loosing fixed-address
I'm having a problem where a nodes dhcp lease entry is loosing the
"fixed-address" line during an install. It seems to be happening during
the postscript just before the reboot. I originally thought the dhclient
was releasing it's address so I ran a tcpdump and didn't see anything going
back to the dhcp server ports (67,68).
I'm thinking it may be during the at the postscript updateflag when the
xcatd does a nodeset boot.
These are all RHEL62 with xCAT 2.7.3.
This is a sample of the dhcpd.leases entry before the install:
host hv001 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 98:4b:e1:0f:68:b2;
fixed-address 10.30.22.6;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "hv001";
supersede host-name = "hv001";
if option vendor-class-identifier = "ScaleMP" {
supersede server.filename = "vsmp/pxelinux.0";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.0";
}
supersede server.next-server = 0a:1e:16:0f;
}
The line "fixed-address 10.30.22.6;" is missing after the install and
before postbootscripts is run.
Any help would be appreciated.
