Explain why the riscv64 templates disable the installer's kdump add-on,
how to reserve memory for crash dumps on an installed node, and what
diskless images reserve by default.
Document the riscv64 kickstart templates that work around the EL10
anaconda's missing RISC-V EFI platform, where grub2.riscv64 and the
riscv64 Genesis packages come from, which dependencies a riscv64
management node takes from the riscv64 dependency repository, and why
xCAT-server only recommends perl-DB_File.
Add the riscv64 page to the cluster management guide (UEFI + grub2 boot
path, discovery through mknb's grub2 network configurations, stateful and
stateless provisioning, the dependency picture for a management node on
riscv64, limitations), list riscv64 in the node object attributes and in
the support matrices, add the architecture to the cross-build page for
stateless images, extend the grub2 install guide (and fix its swapped
x86_64/aarch64 file names), the uninstall package lists, the DHCP backend
validation matrix and the mknb/genimage man pages, and carry the riscv64
schema values into the generated nodetype, osimage, noderes, node and
group references.
Record that a node with more than one BMC is configured one BMC at a
time and that a comma separated value gives one setting per BMC, in
both the man page source and the checked-in text.
Add a new pdutype (genpdu) for PDUs implementing the Raritan PDU2-MIB.
A single MIB covers the Raritan PX2/PX3/PX4/PXC/SRC/PXO/BCM series, the
Server Technology PRO3X/PRO4X series, the Legrand intelligent PDUs, and
all PDUs following the PDU2-MIB.
Supports rpower (whole-PDU and per-outlet), rinv and rvitals over SNMP
v1, v2c or v3, with credentials read from the pdu table).
Unlike the existing types, sensor units and decimal precision are read
from the MIB per sensor rather than hardcoded, so readings are correct
across models that report differing precision for the same sensor.
Outlet switching capability is probed at connect time, so metered-only
models report a single "unsupported" message instead of a per-outlet error.
rspconfig is not supported for genpdu; PDU linking and BCM2/PMC power
meters are out of scope.
Tested on Raritan PX4-5851-E7V2 (fw 4.2.10.5-50400, switched),
PX3-1901U-N1 and PX3-1901U-N1A6 (fw 4.0.20.5-49038, metered), and
PX2-1901U-N1A6 (fw 4.0.20.5-49038, metered).

When invoked with no node name, replaycons printed a terse "Please specify a
node name." Print the full usage statement instead, consistent with -h.
Also document, in the man page, that confluent log rotation renames older logs
and how to replay one by appending the date suffix seen in
/var/log/confluent/consoles/.

Recover several man-page clarifications that never merged from the lenovobuild
branch. All are documentation-only -- the man .pod sources with their
generated .rst, plus the networks-table description in Schema.pm:
* makedhcp / nodeset: note that UEFI boot directives are intentionally
omitted when nodetype.os names an OS without UEFI support, even for
'nodeset shell'.
* networks table dhcpserver: warn that it should be set only for service
node operation and that <xcatmaster> is not a valid value.
* noderange: clarify that the syntax is for xCAT.
* reventlog: note that unimplemented sensor types yield 'No Mappings Found'
and point to confluent's nodeeventlog facility.
* rcons: document confluent console auto-reconnect (a randomized 2-4 minute
retry, or 'ctrl-e o a' to force one); the original's stray backtick markup
is corrected.

Add a shared OMAPI policy helper for ISC DHCP and DDNS so administrators can select the key name, signing algorithm, and omshell path from the site table while preserving the existing xcat_key hmac-md5 default.
Keep local ISC updates from hanging indefinitely when omshell does not exit, and use a static host-declaration fallback for local Ubuntu ISC releases where omshell is unstable for xCAT host updates.

Docker container lifecycle management (mgt=docker, mkdocker, rmdocker,
lsdocker) was added in 2015-2016 as an experiment targeting Docker API
v1.22 on Ubuntu only. Documentation and man pages were deliberately
removed in 2019 (PRs #6222 and #6324) with the original developer's
approval, noting that "the interface of Docker has become very simple
right now, so there is no value for xCAT to offer such functions."
The plugin was still being shipped but has had no functional code changes
since April 2016, was never listed as a valid mgt value in Schema.pm,
and no user ever filed an issue about it.
Removed:
- xCAT-server/lib/xcat/plugins/docker.pm (1,142 lines)
- xCAT/postscripts/setupdockerhost
- xCAT-server/share/xcat/scripts/setup-dockerhost-cert.sh
- xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/dockercommand/ (test cases)
- Docker attribute definitions in Schema.pm
- Client symlinks (mkdocker, rmdocker, lsdocker)
- Usage entries and dockerhost cert handling in credentials.pm
- Docker attribute documentation in man7 pages
The "Running xCAT in Docker" documentation (dockerized_xcat/) is
retained as it documents containerizing xCAT itself, not the removed
mgt=docker feature.
Closes#7518
rspconfig vlan= only accepted values 1-4096 with no way to disable
VLAN tagging. Users had to resort to raw IPMI commands to clear a
stale VLAN after ip=dhcp.
- Accept vlan=off/disable/disabled to clear VLAN tagging via
standard IPMI parameter 0x14 with the enable bit unset
- Fix valid range from 1-4096 to 1-4094 (IEEE 802.1Q)
- Use strict digit matching to reject malformed inputs
To clear VLAN after a DHCP reset: rspconfig <node> vlan=off
Tested on Supermicro IPMI BMC (10.20.0.51).
Partially addresses #3725
