=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
B<configfpc> - discover the Fan Power Controllers (FPCs) and configure the FPC interface
|
||
|
|
||
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
B<configfpc> B<-i> I<interface>
|
||
|
|
||
|
B<configfpc> [B<-V>|B<--verbose>]
|
||
|
|
||
|
B<configfpc> [B<-h>|B<--help>|B<-?>]
|
||
|
|
||
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
B<configfpc> will discover and configure all FPCs that are set to the default IP address.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The B<-i> B<interface> is required to direct B<configfpc> to the xCAT MN interface which is on the same VLAN as the FPCs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are several bits of information that must be included in the xCAT database before running this command.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You must create the FPC node definitions for all FPCs being discovered including the IP address and switch port information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The B<configfpc> command discovers the FPCs and collects the MAC address. The MAC address is used to relate the FPC to a FPC node using the switch information for this MAC. Once the relationship is discovered the FPC is configured with the FPC node IP settings.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This process is repeated until no more FPCs are discovered.
|
||
|
|
||
