No, bmcdiscovery is not mandatory for sequential discovery.
 
The correct procedure should be:
 
1. start sequential discovery first: nodediscoverstart
2. boot the node, then you could see the following messages
    xcat.discovery.seqdiscovery
 
But in your case that there was no any discovery messages after starting 'nodediscoverstart', so you need check the status of the your nodes.

Best Regards

Hi,

here are some logs.

So first we removed an unwanted server from the discovery process:

The we tried to create a new one, but couldn't see any discovery process
information in the logs:

I might miss something, but can't find out what.

Is the "bmcdiscover" absolutely mandatory in a sequential discovery process?


Thanks.
Nicolas
