This set of templates is based on the address scheme given:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/eserver/xseries/1350FS_0507.pdf
To load:
for i in *.csv; do tabload $i; done
This set of templates, *.csv files, is based on the address scheme given:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/eserver/xseries/1350FS_0507.pdf.
Additional information can be found in the /usr/share/doc/xCAT/xCAT2.0.doc[pdf]
manual in the install.
For what any of the tags used in this readme do, grep <tagname> *.csv and you will see what settings it
provides interpretations for.
Check the 1350 default templates to see, if they apply to your environment.
If you decide to use some of the templates or create your own, then you can
use the tabrestore command on each template to load the tables in the database.
The templates are located : /usr/share/xcat/templates/e1350 directory.
To load the database tables with a set of templates:
for i in *.csv; do tabrestore $i; done
To verify run tabdump <tablename>. For example: tabdump nodetype
After which, the various provided tags can be used to add nodes and automatically follow thing.
For example, to add 2048 IPMI rackmount nodes which happen to start at the first U of the first rack,
with each rack having a 1U switch and 41 servers plugged into that switch, numbered 1-41 in order,
intended to have the 'compute' profile, named node1-node0248, and have a convenience group called 'all':
nodeadd node1-node2048 tags=41nodeperrack,41perswitch,ipmi,compute,all
After that, a lot of things will be populated according to that scheme:
You can add nodes to the database by using the nodeadd command.
See example below and /usr/share/doc/xCAT/xCAT2.0.doc[pdf].

Nodes named node1-node2048, and be members of groups named:
41nodeperrack,41perswitch,ipmi,compute,all
The run the following:
nodeadd node1-node2048 groups=41nodeperrack,41perswitch,ipmi,compute,all
After that, other tables will setup according to that scheme:

Note the hosts table is only used if you use the makehosts command.

An example with blades, 56 to a rack and padding out to four digits:
nodeadd node0001-node2048 tags=blade,compute,all,56nodeperrack
nodeadd node0001-node2048 groups=blade,compute,all,56nodeperrack
And if wanting to use makehosts for non-server equipment, nodeadd can help for that as well with these templates:
If wanting to use makehosts for non-server equipment, nodeadd can help for that as well with these templates:
(Supplementing the previous rackmount example)
nodeadd switch1-switch50 tags=switch
nodeadd bmc1-bmc2048 tags=41bmcperrack
nodeadd switch1-switch50 groups=switch
nodeadd bmc1-bmc2048 groups=41bmcperrack
makehosts switch,41bmcperrack
(And to make hosts file entries for 147 AMMs for the 2048 blades above)
nodeadd amm1-amm147 tags=amm
nodeadd amm1-amm147 groups=amm
makehosts amm
