NAME

mac - a table in the xCAT database.

SYNOPSIS

mac Attributes: node, interface, mac, comments, disable

DESCRIPTION

The MAC address of the node’s install adapter. Normally this table is populated by getmacs or node discovery, but you can also add entries to it manually.

mac Attributes:

node

The node name or group name.

interface

The adapter interface name that will be used to install and manage the node. E.g. eth0 (for linux) or en0 (for AIX).)

mac

The mac address or addresses for which xCAT will manage static bindings for this node. This may be simply a mac address, which would be bound to the node name (such as “01:02:03:04:05:0E”). This may also be a “|” delimited string of “mac address!hostname” format (such as “01:02:03:04:05:0E!node5|01:02:03:05:0F!node6-eth1”).

comments

Any user-written notes.

disable

Set to ‘yes’ or ‘1’ to comment out this row.
