Temporary DHCP server started yesterday. BMC on one node configured, and memtest launched.

The other three do not show up:

devcon (Management):~ # journalctl -u dhcpd -g e8:9a
Jun 07 14:47:48 devcon dhcpd[24936]: DHCPDISCOVER from e8:9a:8f:be:00:b2 via os-ipmi

On the management switch, all four BMC ports show as connected:

Interface               Admin Link Proto
ge-0/0/6                up    up
ge-0/0/6.0              up    up   eth-switch
ge-0/0/7                up    up
ge-0/0/7.0              up    up   eth-switch
ge-0/0/8                up    up
ge-0/0/8.0              up    up   eth-switch
ge-0/0/9                up    up
ge-0/0/9.0              up    up   eth-switch

But only the MAC address of the first node registered (the one of the first node I'm already working with):

openSUSE-ipmi-ur    e8:9a:8f:be:00:b2   D             -   ge-0/0/6.0

.. suggesting the others are not sending any traffic.

Any idea @SchoolGuy? Should the three remaining ones currently be configured for DHCP?

In the meanwhile, I installed an OS on the first machine (apollo01.i.o.o) and prepared initial configuration for it in Salt: https://gitlab.infra.opensuse.org/infra/salt/-/merge_requests/1927.

One benefit with the other three not working yet is that they can wait for Leap 15.6 to be ready. ;-)

I also created the chassis and blades:
https://netbox.infra.opensuse.org/dcim/devices/8

But not sure on the models and serial numbers, inside the OS it reports 

apollo01:~ # more /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_serial
BL7BB5J
apollo01:~ # more /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_serial
BL7BB5J
apollo01:~ # more /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name
PowerEdge C6105

whilst internet search suggests C6105 itself to be a chassis.
