#637 getmacs ping successful but mac is not displayed
xCAT 2.3 (LINUX 0925 build) on p5 machine with SLES11
The ping against the adapter was successful, but it does not display it or populate the node database.

Here is output from the console window. On a successful node it goes through all 4 adapters (1 success and 3 fail). Here it hangs at '1 >' after the second adapter. I tried verbose but I do not understand the output.

4. 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapt U7879.001.DQD04EM-P1-C1-T1 000d600ac546
So I try and target the adapter that has the ping success, but it still goes and tries the next U7879.001.DQD04EM-P1-T7 and hangs at the '1 >' prompt again; then returns the timeout message.

HuaZhong - I logged onto Kerry's system last week to try to figure out what was going on. This is p5 hardware, and there is no LHEA adapter, I did some verbose runs, and did see something in the output about no lhea adapters found. Not sure if that is the cause of this problem or not. I tried comparing the trace output to the getmacs expect code, and got very lost. This is COMPLICATED code - thank you for looking into this.
This is a timeout issue in getmacs. See the last two line:
"
0 > " supported-network-types" 000000e1aca8 get-package-property ok
1 >
"
In good case, after command supported-network-types returned, it should return to 3 >. But here it is 1 >. Our code cannot match it. Need discussion with open firmware team.
open firmware team confirmed that it is because the adapter is too old and have FCode. and solution is either remove/replace that adapter or update the microcode for it.
Put it to pending and let Kerry confirm it.
