ProcedureProvisioning Bare Metal Systems Using Manual Discovery

To discover, manage, and provision an OS to a bare metal (no operating system installed) OTP host or hosts, you must create an XML discovery file that lists the host name, model number, and MAC address for each new OTP host.

  1. Log in as root to the OTP master server.

  2. Create the XML discovery file.

    For example, vi /tmp/discovery-mac-addresses.

  3. Add the system name, model number, Ethernet port address, and MAC address for each host to be discovered.

    The file format is:

    <!xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<servers>
    <server name="otpclient1" model="model name">
        <ethernetPort name="GB_0" mac="mac address"/>
    </server>
    <server name="otpclient2" model="model name">
        <ethernetPort name="GB_0" mac="mac address"/>
    </server>
</servers>

    Where otpclient1 is the name to be assigned to the host, model name is the model name listed in the following table, and mac address is the MAC address of the host.

    </server>
    <server name="otpclient2" model="SF-V20">
        <ethernetPort name="GB_0" mac="0:7:3c:12:b6:a"/>
    </server>
    <server name="otpclient3" model="SF-T2000">
        <ethernetPort name="GB_0" mac="0:14:4f:25:5e:78"/>
    </server></servers>

  4. Save and close the file.
