Actually, I don't think this one is fixed in 5.1.1. I have this exact bug
symptom. We installed 5.1.1 in the test lab and it was NOT fixed. We'll open
a PMR if we haven't already... Our invocation was slightly different:
loadhosts -a -p -m 255.255.255.0 <_EOF_
153.2.50.201 dvlp2.mvs.us.ups.com
153.2.51.201 dvlp2.mvs.us.ups.com
... (2 more interfaces)
_EOF_
The error is the same. The first interface and the node are added, the second
interface results only in a "hint" for the interface, but the TopM Interface
Count (for the node) is only 1. We have to delete the hint with ovtopofix.
At first I thought it was a timing issue - since loadhost reports that the
"requested object is not known" to the topology. However there is a flag
(-s??) to loadhosts that tells it to sleep for a period in between adding.
Even if I set it for a long time, it doesn't work, so it's not that.
BTW, John, as a general rule, I would advise that you don't feed a whole
bunch of nodes to loadhosts at the same time. It never has handled it very
well.
