Your explanation make the issue more clear. The code has been checked in,
it will get into 2.10 which will be released at end of July.
BTW, the confusing thing was why an interface will get another IP when do
the dhcp request again? You were using dynamic Ip for installnic?
Thanks

PLEASE NOTE THAT ETH0 IS NOT STATICALLY ASSIGNED
----- the process -----
1. Node boots up
2. Node asks for IP via dhcp (eg 10.2.72.50) on mac=00:25:90:14:FA:30
3. Server assigns the lease IP AND creates 2 DDNS entries:
compute1 A 10.2.72.50
50 PTR compute1-s.poc.lzd.co.
4. Node starts netboot/xNBA process
5. Kickstart starts and asks for DHCP again.
6. Server assigns lease IP and
7. kickstart completes and starts the postscripts from the templates (
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/scripts/post.rh.common )
----- Here the problem starts -----
As my primarynic=eth1, the script tries to see if eth1 is up or not. If it
is not, it tries to bring it up.
However Line 41 of /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/scripts/post.rh.common
is :
8. 41 dhclient eth0
This causes the eth0 interface to get a 2nd IP
9. Server assigns another IP to node (eg. 10.2.72.51) and updates DDNS:
compute1 A 10.2.72.51
51 PTR compute1-s.poc.lzd.co.
So on the server:
[root@xcatmn01 scripts]# host 10.2.72.50
Host 50.72.2.10.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[root@xcatmn01 scripts]# host 10.2.72.51
51.72.2.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer compute1.poc.lzd.co.
And on the node:
bash-4.1.2 # ip -4 a s eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen
1000
inet 10.2.72.50/24 brd 10.2.72.255 scope global eth0
inet 10.2.72.51/24 brd 10.2.72.255 scope global eth0
Now to connect to the server, the node address used is '10.2.72.50', but
the ip does not resolve to a name anymore.
So the script /install/postscripts/updateflag.awk keeps on trying to update
the server with it's status, and the server keeps ignoring the update,
leaving it in a stuck state.
I hope this clarifies the problem I face.

The IP didn't change. Instead 2 IPs were assigned to the interface on the
node. However, in the DNS, the hostname was now associated with the 2nd
IP provided to the node, while the updateflag.awk requests go via the 1st
IP. Thus xcat ignores the flag updates.

Subject: [xcat-user] Multiple IPs during postinstall in kickstart
causing DDNS issues
Hi,
My diskful install process gets stuck in the post-install process
on the `updateflag.awk` script. I understand that this happens when
the IP of the node doesn't resolve to a name.
However, what bothers me is that this is caused by the assignment
of 2 IPs to the `ksdevice`.
The DHCP server deletes the ddns entry for the first IP lease, and
assigns the details of the 2nd lease in the DNS server. However,
the updateflag.awk script is communicating via the primary IP (it
cannot select the secondary IP as the local interface to use).

When I check in the console on the node (the 2nd console,
Ctrl-Alt-F2), I see 2 addresses assigned to the `ksdevice` (Both
the IPs assigned to MAC 00:25:90:14:f8:18 : 10.2.72.9 and
10.2.72.10).
This is done in the %post section of the kickstart file:
[root@xcatmn01 tmp]# grep 'dhclient ' /install/autoinst/xcatsn01
dhclient eth0
The primary nic is `eth1`, and the template (
xCAT-server/share/xcat/install/scripts/post.rh.common) has these
line:
[samveen@development xcat-core]$ git blame

Given that this script sets the variable `PRINIC`, Line 4 should be
as follows(as can be seen from line 43):
