It's weird. Show me the output of following:
lsxcatd -a
makedns
xcatd -f
Thanks
Best Regards

RE: [xcat-user] xcat_key and DNS Configuration
Thank you, Wang Xiaopeng (王晓朋).
The commands that were run are:
makedns -n
Error: Unsupported request
or
makedns
Error: Unsupported request
I thought a tabdump of passwd might be of interest:
tabdump passwd
#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"system","root","xxxxxxxx",,,,
"ipmi","root","yyyyyyyy",,,,

Could you give a full copy of what command did you run when got an error?
Thanks

OK. That sounds OK, but I've walked through setting up xcat based on instructions at :https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Cluster_Name_Resolution/#specifying-additional-network-interfaces-for-cluster-nodesand only gotten as far as the instructions to run "makedns -n". This is where I get the:
- Error: Unsupported request
So "makedhcp" has not yet been run. So, what is likely to be causing the "Unsupported request"? What should I be looking at?

xcat_key is used to authorize who can change the dns server. This key is generated when you run 'makedhcp -n'.
Thanks

make sure these three attributres are defined in the xCAT site table (tabdump site):
1)forwarders
2)domain
3)nameservers
and also check the networks table, the net and mask attributes needs to define.
the xcat_key will get it from passwd table:
]# tabdump passwd
#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"omapi","xcat_key","QjV0UG5vM2NXamZtVUJncEszejgzMUZSNnRXRTU2Sjk=",,,,

Subject: [xcat-user] xcat_key and DNS Configuration
I'm trying to walk through the DNS configuration from documentation on a brand new xcat environment. I need some help on a few things.
Lets start at the beginning. The prod environment I have already has an xcat key. But I'm trying to build a new test environment that will be a model for implementing a brand new xcat production environment when the new hardware gets installed. I tried walking through the documentation and ran into a snag. Every time I tried to do a makedns, whether with or without the "-n" parameter, I get:
- Error: Unsupported request
This is usually a pretty good indication that something is amiss. So I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. Eventually, this led me to there being a potential problem with /etc/named.conf. So I figure I can steal a good bit of it from my prod environment, but the one thing I'm confused about is "xcat_key". Do I need an "xcat_key"? Where does it come from? How do I get it? I don't have one in my passwd table in xcat in the test environment, but there is one in prod. So I know it was useful there. What do I need to do to get one?
Sincerely,
John W. Hosie III
