IPU-POD128 build and test guide
sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server
Step 8: lrack1 DHCP server
On lrack1 you need to edit
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
and include
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.d/ipum-dhcp.conf
as described
in
Section 8.6.1, Lrack1 and lrack2: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
. This dhcpd.conf file will then start pointing to the new
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.d/lrack1
and
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.d/lrack2
config files.
You then need to split the
vlan-13.conf
file into two files, one containing IPU-Gateway ports only, and the other
containing BMC ports only.
Restart the DHCP server on lrack1 with this command:
sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server
Step 9: Restart IPU-M2000s on lrack1
Next you need to restart all the IPU-M2000s on lrack1 by using the BMC controller to manually power cycle them
with the following commands:
rack_tool.py power-cycle
rack_tool.py run-command c reboot d bmc
This will use the old
/home/ipuuser/.rack_tool/rack_config.json
file so no network setup change should have
been activated before this.
The IPU-M2000s will reboot and request new IP, as enabled above.
Step 10: netplan configuration on lrack1
You need to change to the new netplan configuration for management interfaces on lrack1 and then activate it.
Step 11: Update rack_config files on lrack1
11a)
Save the old
rack_config.json
file on lrack1 as this is not required any more:
cp /home/ipuuser/.rack_tool/rack_config.json /home/ipuuser/.rack_tool/rack_config.json_pod64
11b)
Update the
rack_config.json
file on lrack1 to an IPU-POD
128
setup:
cp /home/ipuuser/.rack_tool/rack_config.json_pod128 /home/ipuuser/.rack_tool/rack_config.json
More details about the contents of
rack_config.json_pod128
can be found in
11c)
Use
rack_tool
on lrack1 to verify that the new lrack1 IPU-M2000, IPU-Gateway and BMC IP addresses have
been set up correctly:
rack_tool.py status
The lrack2 IPU-M2000s will fail at this point as they still have their old IP addresses and there is no trunking over
VLAN13 between the switches enabled yet.
