Every CentOS Linux 8 medium gives the same description, "CentOS Linux 8".
The description gives no minor version. The .treeinfo file on the medium
gives no minor version. Thus copycds gave the name centos8 to all of these
media. Two CentOS Linux 8 media then wrote into the same /install/centos8
directory and made osimage definitions with the same names.
The discinfo identifier table gives the minor version, but it contains
only 8.1 and 8.5. The identifiers of an expanded tree are also different
from the identifiers of the DVD. The release package in BaseOS/Packages is
the only other record of the minor version on the medium.
Read the version from the name of that package. CentOS changed the name of
the package to centos-linux-release in 8.3, thus accept the two names.
Accept only a major.minor version, because other packages start with the
same centos-release prefix. Accept only the major version that the
description gives, because a package for a different major version does not
describe this medium. Accept the minor version only when the medium names
one, because a medium that names more than one does not pin a minor version.
Keep the version from the description in the other conditions. A medium that
names no minor version keeps the name centos8, which is the behaviour before
this change and the correct name for media that do not pin a minor version.
CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux keep
their own branches. CentOS Linux 7 gives a different description and has
no BaseOS directory, thus it does not use this path.
Recovered from the lenovobuild branch. Reimplemented against master: the
original reads only centos-release, which CentOS renamed in 8.3, and its
expression is not anchored.
With PDU2-MIB loaded, SNMP.pm returns an enumerated INTEGER as its label
rather than its number: a PX4 answers inletSensorUnits with "amp" rather
than "2". That failed the numeric test, fell back to none(-1) and
dropped the unit suffix from every rvitals reading.
Add pdu2_enum, which accepts the number, the label, or the label(value)
form Net-SNMP produces with quick printing off, and use it for the
sensor units and for outletSwitchingState.
Also stop requiring the switching probe to read on or off. An outlet can
be in any SensorStateEnumeration state, and pdu2_get has already ruled
out an absent instance, so any answer proves the outlet is switchable.

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 unit test for the entry decision of the blade preprocessor. The test
lifts the entry out of the plugin source and drives it, because the plugin
needs a management node to load in full.
The test gives the entry the request that a booting node sends, which names
no node, and shows that the entry hands it on and answers no error. It also
shows that a request for another command without a noderange is still
refused.
Extract per_bmc_argument and the set of settings that take a list from
ipmi.pm, and drive the real routine, because the plugin needs daemon
dependencies that the test host does not have.
Cover a single value serving every BMC, a list read in session order, a
list too short for the BMC being configured, empty entries, and the
defensive inputs. Assert that only ip, netmask and gateway read a list,
that the caller reports a short list rather than sending it, that the
session keeps the value of its own BMC for the follow-up, and that the
thermal profile keeps its own argument.
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.
Add a unit test for the routine that selects the blades. The test lifts the
routine out of the plugin source, because the plugin needs a management node
to load.
The test gives the routine the row shapes that the writers of the mp table
make: a management module and its blades from xCAT::PPCdb::add_systemX and
the shipped mp template, a chassis that gives its hardware type, and one row
for each hardware type that lsslp writes. It also shows that the handler
reads the chassis attribute and that it stops before the arp table when the
mp table holds no blades.
A node can carry more than one BMC, and rspconfig already opens a
session per BMC for rinv, reventlog, rvitals and rspconfig. A setting
such as ip= carried a single value, so every BMC of the node received
the same one. Two BMCs cannot share an address, so a node like that
could not be configured through rspconfig at all.
Read a comma separated value as one setting per BMC, in the order the
sessions are numbered. Only the ip, netmask and gateway settings read a
list, because a comma belongs to the value itself in a free form SNMP
community string. A value without a comma still reaches every BMC, so
the existing single BMC use is unchanged.
An entry that is missing or empty reports the mismatch instead of
reaching the address encoders, which reject an empty string. The
session then holds the value of its own BMC, because the follow-up
callbacks read the subcommand again to decide whether the address came
from DHCP.
Recovered from the lenovobuild branch.
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.
