[jjh]

The configbr-ex was depended on the confignics. Some of the code was changed in the confignics, but the configbr-ex was not updated. I updated the code, and did an enhancement on the error message.

I checked the code into xCAT master. After xCAT 2.8.3 is release, I will check it into xCAT 2.8 branch.

I attached the e-fixed here. If you use xCAT 2.8.3, you need to download the e-fix file(configbr-ex), and put it in the /install/postscripts/ directory.

[jjh]

attach the new configbr-ex file.
