what version of IMM?  Is this 100% reproducible?

My guess would be that for whatever reason, the ipsrc static didn't take
but reported success.  We could workaround this (and perhaps should) by
putting 'ipsrc static' and 'ipaddr ' inside the same retry loop.

Subject:        [xcat-user] bmcsetup fails in xCAT 2.7.3



Greetings all,

Last fall we received 480 ibm dx360m4's (2u chassis) and upgraded to xCAT
2.7.3 to support them.  With the initial rev of the imm and uefi, discovery
and bmcsetup worked with no issues.  Sometime after we upgraded the imm and
uefi to support the Intel Xeon Phi's we noticed an issue.  Nodes will
discover fine, but bmcsetup always fails on the first attempt.

If, after the node is discovered, we set nodeset rncmd=bmcsetup, that
always seems to work.

When bmcsetup fails, the following output is always seen at the console:

Setting LAN IP Address to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
LAN Parameter Data does not match!  Write may have failed.

This message will repeat for a long while (I've never let if go more than
10-15 minutes).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'll be happy to
povide any info that may help lead to a solution.  Thanks!
