Windows_Multiple_Nics_Configuration

Design_Warning

==Overview==

==Interface==

===Set nics Attributes=== You need to specify the IP for the network interfaces in nics table like following. (xCAT will support to set it by chdef command.) nics table #node,nicips,nichostnamesuffixes,nictypes,niccustomscripts,nicnetworks,nicaliases,comments,disable "x3550m4n03","Local Area Connection 3!192.168.13.250,Local Area Connection 2!192.168.12.250",,,,,,,

networks table
#netname,net,mask,mgtifname,gateway,dhcpserver,tftpserver,nameservers,ntpservers,logservers,dynamicrange,staticrange,staticrangeincrement,nodehostname,ddnsdomain,vlanid,domain,comments,disable "192_168_13_0-255_255_255_0","192.168.13.0","255.255.255.0",,"192.168.13.254",,,,,,,,"1",,,,,,

PCM configures the bmc interface in the nics table with ethernet name 'bmc', since the 'bmc' interface should not configured in windows compute node, xCAT will ignore the ethernet name 'bmc' when creating the unattend.xml.

In this example, the IP of interface 'Local Area Connection 2' will be set to '192.168.12.250'. And IP of interface 'Local Area Connection 3' will be set to '92.168.13.250'. Since no setting for 'Local Area Connection' (first interface) is specified, it will keep to use dhcp (this is the default setting in Windows node).

'''Note:''' the network for the interfaces must be set correctly in networks table, otherwise the interface will be ignored if cannot find correct netmask for the ip from networks table.

===Set Installnic===

chdef -t site clustersite setinstallnic=1 chdef installnic='Local Area Connection'

===Set Gateway Attribute===

===Generate Configuration=== Run nodeset command will make the setting take effect. nodeset osimage=win2k8r2-x86_64-install-enterprise
