For a full rediscovery, I have used this to remove a node or group of nodes that I want to put back into a full rediscovery process. /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/rmnodecfg # ./rmnodecfg n1 – n10

I am using xCAT 2.14.4 on RedHat 7.4. I have BMC discovery working (with the MTMS approach, and using different IP addresses. This works well: - Create the predefined node (I do this before running bmcdiscover) - run bmcdiscover to create tne node-model_type-serial nodes. - power on the nodes - xCAT matches the node-model_type-serial nodes with my predefined nodes. - xCAT populates the mac address and other fields. - on the nodes, the BMC changes to the static IP I want to use. But when I then delete my node object and try to repeat the process, discovery fails: - Create the predefined node. - run bmcdiscover. Bmcdiscover will report that the node already exists. - From here on, I can't figure out how to get the mac address to populate. So how can I re-run discovery to populate the mac address, when the BMC already has its static IP?
