DESCRIPTION

List of all Service Nodes and services that will be set up on the Service Node.

servicenode Attributes:

node

The hostname of the service node as known by the Management Node.

nameserver

Do we set up DNS on this service node? Valid values: 2, 1, or 0. If 2, creates named.conf as dns slave, using the management node as dns master, and starts named. If 1, creates named.conf file with forwarding to the management node and starts named. If 0, it does not change the current state of the service.

dhcpserver

Do we set up DHCP on this service node? Not supported on AIX. Valid values:1 or 0. If 1, runs makedhcp -n. If 0, it does not change the current state of the service.

tftpserver

Do we set up TFTP on this service node? Not supported on AIX. Valid values:1 or 0. If 1, configures and starts atftp. If 0, it does not change the current state of the service.

nfsserver

Do we set up file services (HTTP,FTP,or NFS) on this service node? For AIX will only setup NFS, not HTTP or FTP. Valid values:1 or 0.If 0, it does not change the current state of the service.

conserver

Do we set up console service on this service node? Valid values: 0, 1, or 2. If 0, it does not change the current state of the service. If 1, configures and starts conserver daemon. If 2, configures and starts goconserver daemon.

ftpserver

Do we set up a ftp server on this service node? Not supported on AIX Valid values:1 or 0. If 1, configure and start vsftpd. (You must manually install vsftpd on the service nodes before this.) If 0, it does not change the current state of the service. xCAT is not using ftp for compute nodes provisioning or any other xCAT features, so this attribute can be set to 0 if the ftp service will not be used for other purposes

If defined, it will override the values defined in site.dhcpinterfaces. This is a comma separated list of device names. !remote! indicates a non-local network for relay DHCP. For example: !remote!,eth0,eth1
