OpenPower Nodes
===============
When compute nodes are physically replaced in the frame, leverage xCAT to re-discover the compute nodes. The following guide can be used for:
* IBM OpenPower S822LC for HPC
#. Identify the machine(s) to be replaced: ``frame10cn02``.
#. [**Optional**] It's recommended to set the BMC IP address back to DHCP, if it was set to STATIC. ::
rspconfig frame10cn02 ip=dhcp
#. Set the outgoing machine to ``offline`` and remove attributes of the machine: ::
nodeset frame10cn02 offline
chdef frame10cn02 mac=""
#. If using **MTMS**-based discovery, fill in the Model-Type and Serial Number for the machine: ::
chdef frame10cn02 mtm=8335-GTB serial=<NEW SERIAL NUMBER>
#. If using **SWITCH**-based discovery, go on to the next step. The ``switch`` and ``switch-port`` should already be set in the compute node definition.
Node attributes will be replaced during the discovery process (mtm, serial, mac, etc.)
#. Search for the new BMC in the open range: ::
bmcdiscover --range <IP open range> -w -z
#. When the BMC is found, start the discovery with the following commands: ::
rsetboot /node-8335.* net
rpower /node-8335.* boot
