I'm just getting started testing xcat, so please don't laugh if this is
too simple of a question.

I've got a demo xcat MN, and I'm to the point of trying to boot a
compute node, in this case diskless.  I'm using xnba to boot my x86_64
host, but when it tries to pull from "http://[MN's
IP]/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nets/192.168.25.0_24", it gets a "No such file or
directory".  It's right.  When I look in /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nets, I see
the following:

> # ls -l /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nets
> total 24
> -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 241 Jan 19 10:36 127.0.0.0_8
> -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 241 Jan 19 10:36 127.0.0.0_8.elilo
> -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 109 Jan 19 10:36 127.0.0.0_8.uefi
> -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 245 Jan 19 10:36 192.168.64.0_24
> -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 253 Jan 19 10:36 192.168.64.0_24.elilo
> -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 113 Jan 19 10:36 192.168.64.0_24.uefi

Now, the MN has 2 ethernet interfaces, eth0 (192.168.64.17, facing the
outside world), and eth1 (192.168.25.7, facing the compute nodes). 
Clearly I missed a step setting up these files, but I'm struggling to
figure out what it is, or how I missed it.

So, in short, how do I force it to regenerate these files?  I've already
verified that both networks are defined in (I think) the appropriate
xcat tables:

What am I missing here?


For reference, here's the definition of the compute node in question:


> # lsdef -t node m7stage-1-2
> Object name: m7stage-1-2
>     arch=x86_64
>     bmc=m7stage-1-2-idrac
>     cons=ipmi
>     currstate=netboot rhels7.3-x86_64-compute
>     groups=x86_64,all
>    
> initrd=xcat/osimage/rhels7.3-x86_64-netboot-compute/initrd-stateless.gz
>     installnic=mac
>     ip=192.168.25.100
>
