With the B<-n> option, B<makedhcp> will create a new dhcp configuration file. For Linux systems the file will include network entries as well as certain general parameters such as a dynamic range and omapi configuration. For AIX systems the file will include network entries.
With a noderange or the B<-a> option, B<makedhcp> will inject configuration data pertinent to the specified nodes that immediately takes effect without a restart of DHCP.
On AIX systems B<makedhcp> will not add entries for cluster nodes that will be installed using NIM. The entries for these nodes will be managed by NIM.
If the B<-d> flag is used with the B<-a> flag then B<makedhcp> will delete all the node entries created by xCAT. The B<-d> flag followed by a I<noderange> will delete the dhcp host definitons for the noderange.
Create a new dhcp configuration file with a network statement for each network the dhcp daemon should listen on. The B<makedhcp> command will automatically restart the dhcp daemon after this operation. This option will replace any existing configuration file!
Define all nodes to the DHCP server. (Will only add nodes that can be reached, network-wise, by this DHCP server.) The dhcp daemon does not have to be restarted after this.
Will cause dhcp on the next request to set root-path appropriately for only node5. Note some characters (e.g. ") must be doubly escaped (once for the shell, and once for the OMAPI layer).
