overcloud node import shows node already registered for a new baremetal box | ironic | wallaby

16 Feb 2023

      Hi,
I have 2 separate baremetal boxes, 1 is dell and the other is of lenovo
make.
I have created 2 separate instanenv.json files for both of them, and tried
importing.

the dell box was imported earlier and is now part of the cloud and now when
i am trying to import the lenovo box it gives me the <uuid of dell> is
alredy registered.

I am not sure why this is coming when they both have separate ip addresses
and even mac.

json files:

(undercloud) [stack@hkg2director ~]$ cat dcn01/hci3.json
{
    "nodes": [

{
            "name": "HCI3",
            "pm_type": "ipmi",
            "ports": [
                {
                    "address": "90:B1:1C:4F:CA:3B",
                    "physical_network": "ctlplane"
                }
            ],
            "cpu": "24",
            "memory": "114688",

            "_comment": "HCI 3"
        }
     ]
   }

                    "physical_network": "ctlplane"
                }
            ],
            "cpu": "48",

        }
     ]
}
