Hello, Yes, I did read the documentation for Flex.
I am using xCAT 2.8 (actaully PCM which uses xCAT 2.8) In the documentation I saw that : "xCAT only supports the CMM connecting to the vlan 1 of the switch setting", and the customer changed to a different vlan number, so that might explain why "lsslp --flexdiscover" unless I did something wrong elsewhere. I did what Jarod Johnson suggested : "users -1 -n <username> -p <password> -a super" on all blades imm and could manually add all blades to my cluster. This means I can continue my installation and since I only have one chassis, I guess i'll wait for a larger install to investigate automatic creation of blades. Thank you for your concern and answers.

I have defined the cmm and can login passwordless on it. I tried lsslp --flexdiscover and it discovered nothing (this might be due to the fact that the switchs have been reconfigured with no vlan 1, but it is a customer requirement). I am ready to do it manualy. How do I find the ipmi.bmcid of each blade ? I have entered one blade in the ipmi table to associate the imm ipname to the blade nodename, in that case, when I try rinv blade, I get a password error message even though the bmcuser and bmcpassword are correct, if I do ssh USERID@blade-imm and enter the bmcpassword I do log to the imm of the blade. If I don't enter the blade in the ipmi table, I get a timeout response. I am not sure I have a blade entry in xCAT table passwd. Can you please describe the entries I have to complete to get rpower and rinv to work ? Or give me a pointer to an existing document ? Thank you for your help.

If I run: ?chdef labcm0005 curstate=<some state other than discover>?, then discovery ends. The only thing that?s changed is that since 2.8.0, whe?re no longer using ?nodeset host discover?, but setting the chain manually. Thanks Details: We used to be able to run the following to initiate node discovery before 2.8.0: rmnodecfg host nodeset host discover (BTW: the rmnodecfg should delete the dhcp entry BEFORE deleting the MAC address from the xCAT table. Here?s a diff to make it work.) [root@drdkvm0003 bin]# diff rmnodecfg.old rmnodecfg.new 33c33 < $cmd = "chtab -d node=$blade mac"; --- > $cmd = "makedhcp -d $blade"; 36c36 < $cmd = "makedhcp -d $blade"; --- > $cmd = "chtab -d node=$blade mac"; Now ?nodeset ? discover? provides the error: [root@drdkvm0003 xcat]# nodeset labcm0005 discover Error: Unknown state discover requested If the chain is set up manually as follows, discovery starts to happen, and seems to work, but never ends: [root@drdkvm0003 xcat]# chdef labcm0005 chain="discover,runcmd=bmcsetup,install,boot" ondiscover=nodediscover The discovery process initiates, the node gets a dynamic address and communicates back, the mac address is discovered, a correct DHCP lease is created, and it gets its assigned IP and hostname (not dynamic.). However it never recognizes that discovery was successful and complains about ?Unrecognised directive?
