=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A flexible node is a B<Partition> in a complex. Creating a flexible node is to create a partition which including all the slots defined in the xCAT blade node.
|
|
|
|
Before creating a flexible node, a general xCAT blade node should be defined. The I<id> attribute of this node should be a node range like 'a-b', it means the blades installed in slots 'a-b' need to be assigned to the partition. 'a' is the start slot, 'b' is the end slot. If this partition only have one slot, the slot range can be 'a'.
|
|
|
|
The action of creating flexible node will impact the hardware status. Before creating it, the blades in the slot range should be in B<power off> state.
|
|
|
|
After the creating, use the B<lsflexnode> to check the status of the node.
|
|
|
|
The I<noderange> only can be a blade node.

=over 3
|
|
|
|
=item 1.
|
|
Create a flexible node base on the xCAT node blade1.
|
|
|
|
The blade1 should belong to a complex, the I<id> attribute should be set correctly and all the slots should be in B<power off> state.
