Hrmm, on further thought I realized that replacing the makedns command would probably be insufficient since there is no reason for xCATd to call the external command when all that does is call back to xCATd, and sure enough, testing shows that doing so has no effect on the hang.
The dns functionality does not appear to be required to succeed by xCAT to consider the nodeaddunmged command successful since nodeaddunmged does eventually return, but it's awfully annoying to have to wait several minutes every time you call nodeaddunmged. -Allie On 3/20/15 1:29 PM, Allison Andrews wrote: > Hi, > > I have some legacy nodes that will not be xcat managed for the time > being but should be in /etc/hosts on my xcat managed nodes.
