Adding a node in BCM (performance lab)
This is specifically tested in the performance-based lab. Steps:
- Connect the new node to the provisioning network
- Power on the node — it will PXE boot
- BCM auto-detects the new node via DHCP
- In cmsh: assign the node to the correct category (e.g.,
gpu) - Set node state to
provisioning - BCM pushes the OS image and configures the node
- Verify node health and confirm it appears in Slurm (
sinfo)
cmsh> device set <node> category gpu
cmsh> device set <node> state provisioning
cmsh> device commit
