AIX: getting unable to detect ipaddress and macaddress from ohai about ohai

[juliandunn]

A couple of comments:

• Ohai on AIX uses route -n get 0 to get the default IP and gateway, and route is a privileged command. That's why this won't work when running Ohai as non-root. If you can think of a nonprivileged command to do the same, let us know and we'll use it.
• The Unable to determine node name: configure node_name or configure the system's hostname and fqdn is a separate bug and we've fixed that in Ohai master now (needs mixlib-shellout >= 1.6.0.beta)

Hi,

I am getting the same error while bootstrapping on RHEL...can someone help please?? Thanks...

@acharyadeba Can you elaborate? This is an AIX issue and you note that you're bootstrapping on RHEL.

@pburkholder Thanks for your response. My Chef server and workstation are on the same RHEL instance and the node is also RHEL. I get the same error while bootstrapping node from workstation. Do you have any clue how to resolve?
