A node that boots sends a findme request to say that it is there. That
request names no node, because the node is what the request asks xCAT to
find. The preprocessor of the blade plugin asks for a noderange for every
command, so it answers "Missing Noderange" with an error code and gives back
no request. The daemon then has nothing to give to the handler, and the
findme handler of the plugin does not run.
The plugin therefore answers each discovery request with an error, and blade
discovery does not happen. The check that asks for a noderange is older than
the findme handler.
Hand a findme request to the handler, as the switch plugin does for the
commands that it does not preprocess. Every other command keeps the check.
The preprocessor also held a test that removed a node from a findme request
when the hardware type was not blade. A findme request now returns above that
test, and it named a noderange that a findme request never carries, so the
test could not run. Remove it.
The findme handler of the blade plugin makes an inventory request for each
node in the mp table. That table holds more than the blades of a chassis.
lsslp writes a row for a Power BMC, for an FSP, for a BPA, for an HMC and for
other hardware, and xCAT::PPCdb::add_systemX writes a row for a management
module. None of that hardware answers a blade inventory.
Keep a row that gives blade as its hardware type. Keep also a row that gives
no hardware type but names a different node as its mpa, when that other node
is a management module. The mp template in xCAT/templates/e1350 leaves the
hardware type of a blade empty, so a test of the hardware type alone loses
the blades of a chassis.
Return when the table holds no blades. The work below the filter reads the
arp table of the management node, and a site that has no chassis must not pay
for that on each discovery request.
Recovered from the lenovobuild branch, which tested the hardware type only.
blade.pm's preprocess_request iterates the mp table during 'findme' discovery.
Because many node types populate the mp table, non-blade nodes were being
scanned as if they were BladeCenter/Flex blades. Skip a node during findme
unless its nodetype is 'blade'.
Scoped to blade.pm's findme path and gated on nodetype, so only blade discovery
is affected; the existing whole-request findme handling (already-processed
short-circuit) is a separate check and is unchanged.
Not lab-validated (no BladeCenter/Flex MPA available).
Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (6573d8f9).
* enhance nodediscovery process, if only 1 mac and have \*NOIP\* append, don't write mac table and don't generate dhcp lease entry
* Enhance PR 3995: enhance nodediscovery process: don't write "NOIP" if the node can not be resloved to an IP
