I can answer that point from a personal viewpoint - it's just a pain. A
real bad pain, especially when you do not have homogenous switch
models/vendors in the environment. By the time you've finally gotten it
to work you could have just went node to node and hand-written down the
MAC's and populated it yourself :-)
Typically when doing deployments now where xCAT is utilized I require
the vendor to provide me a list or spreadsheet of node-to-MAC mappings,
and just manually populate the tables myself with a for loop.

it to be given up on. Sequential or semi-automatic discovery is ok
for smallish setups, but scaling it up causes a lot of ambiguity to
trudge through.
