It will cause problem that your node name is different with the
hostname/ddns-name in the dhcp leases file. Are both the hostname
xcatsn01-s and xcatsn01 exist? You should try to figure out the possible
error in the dns resolution. And avoid using '-' in node name is a good
idea.
Thanks
Best Regards

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Static assignment of IPs
I forgot to add that for the interface bound to xcatsn01-s, the complete
network is the dynamic range:
[root@xcatmn01 xcat_prep]# lsdef -t network PROVISIONING-SVC -i
dynamicrange
Object name: PROVISIONING-SVC
dynamicrange=10.2.72.2-10.2.72.254

The /etc/hosts entries are as follows:

10.2.72.4 xcatsn01-s xcatsn01-s.poc.lzd.co
The DHCP lease entries are as follows:
host xcatsn01 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 00:25:90:14:f8:19;
fixed-address 10.4.0.10;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "xcatsn01";
supersede host-name = "xcatsn01";
if option user-class-identifier = "xNBA" and option
client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.filename =
"http://$
{next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/xcatsn01";
} elsif option client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.filename = "xcat/xnba.kpxe";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "";
}
}
host xcatsn01-m {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 00:25:90:14:f2:c3;
fixed-address 10.1.240.10;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "xcatsn01";
supersede host-name = "xcatsn01";
if option user-class-identifier = "xNBA" and option
client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.filename =
"http://$
{next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/xcatsn01";
} elsif option client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.filename = "xcat/xnba.kpxe";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "";
}
}
host xcatsn01-s {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 00:25:90:14:f8:18;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "xcatsn01";
supersede host-name = "xcatsn01";
if option user-class-identifier = "xNBA" and option
client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.filename =
"http://$
{next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/xcatsn01";
} elsif option client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.filename = "xcat/xnba.kpxe";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "";
}
}
As can be seen from the lease entry for xcatsn01-s and xcatsn01-m, the
ddns-hostname is the same for all 3 entries. My expectation of the ddns
behaviour is that it should match the /etc/hosts (and `makedns`) actions.
ie. for xcatsn01-s, the server.ddns-hostname = "xcatsn01-s"; and for
xcatsn01-m, the server.ddns-hostname = "xcatsn01-m";
The existing behaviour causes trouble for me as the IP for xcatsn01-s is
assigned from the dynamic range, instead of the static range, and thus
my /etc/hosts and DNS entries don't remain in sync, leading to unexpected
behaviour.
Am I correct in my expectation or it is unrealistic?
