confignetwork does not seem to set the IP addresses of bond0

[whowutwut]

Not sure if I'm executing these steps correctly here... I set the following attributes for the node:

chdef frame45cn10 nictypes.enP3p3s0f0=ethernet nictypes.enP3p3s0f1=ethernet \
   nictypes.bond0=bond nicdevices.bond0="enP3p3s0f0|enP3p3s0f1" 
chdef frame45cn10 nicips.bond0=40.1.45.10

Then I run the confignetwork postscript, that executes successfully and I do see the bonded interface created, but without an IP address

[root@frame45cn10 network-scripts]# ifconfig

This is all that is created...

[root@frame45cn10 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE="bond0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
NAME="bond0"
BONDING_MASTER="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
USERCTL="no"
TYPE="Bond"
BONDING_OPTS="mode=802.3ad miimon=100"
DHCLIENTARGS="-timeout 200"

Once I add the following into the ifcfg-bond0, and reload the adapter, it shows up...

IPADDR=40.1.45.10
NETMASK=255.0.0.0

I thought this should happen automatically?

Hi Victor,

I think you do not add network for your node.
You should add nicnetworks.bond0, and add this networks in the network table.

chdef frame45cn10 nicnetworks.bond0=......

[whowutwut]

@bybai Thanks! I thought I was missing something. I didn't realize that we needed to define all the additional networks that we want to configure. Let me give that a try... I was following the documentation under here: http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/manage_clusters/ppc64le/diskless/customize_image/cfg_network.html

Perhaps I will make some changes to the doc in a PR and split up the bridge config and bond configuration.

[bybai]

Hi @whowutwut , If we want to configure ip for network adapter, we should add nicnetworks for the network adapter. We should add this into doc.

[whowutwut]

@bybai yea I think @gurevichmark tried your suggestion today. I'll see if he can create a PR to change some of the wording in the docs Will keep the target incase it's just a documentation change required.

[gurevichmark]

Yes. I will create a pull request, once we figure out the correct set of steps for bonding

[gurevichmark]

Fixed by PR #2534

[whowutwut]

Closing with documentation change.
