Today, if Site Explorer creates a DPU machine before its OOB interface sends its first DHCP request, DHCP later creates a MachineInterface with machine_id = NULL. Interface ownership is not established until the next Site Explorer reconciliation. During this window, DiscoverMachine requests fail with PermissionDenied because the interface cannot be authenticated as belonging to the DPU.

This change creates a trusted PredictedMachineInterface for the DPU OOB MAC during the initial site exploration. When the first DHCP request arrives, the prediction is atomically promoted to a MachineInterface and associated with the corresponding DPU machine. This removes the dependency on a subsequent Site Explorer pass and closes the discovery race.

Multiple tests are fixed where OOB DPU interface DHCP was expected via admin segments instead of underlay segment. This change includes integration tests where admin DHCP relay were used.

Corresponding name in machine-a-tron configuration is misleading and represents underlay segment. Names will be fixed in follow-up PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • DPU network interfaces are now automatically tracked during machine creation and associated with the correct DPU after DHCP discovery.
    • Existing interface predictions are reused when applicable, while conflicting assignments provide a clear error.
    • Promoted interfaces now support topology-based machine discovery.
    • DPU DHCP discovery now uses the underlay network.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected migration error messaging to reference predicted interfaces accurately.
  • Documentation

    • Improved documentation for interface promotion behavior.

Walkthrough

DPU machine creation now creates or reuses predicted OOB interfaces when DHCP has not yet provided an interface. DHCP promotion associates the interface with both the machine and its DPU. Integration tests use the Underlay segment and relay for DPU DHCP.

Changes

DPU interface prediction and promotion

Layer / File(s) Summary
DPU prediction creation
crates/api-model/src/predicted_machine_interface.rs, crates/site-explorer/src/machine_creator.rs
DPU OOB predictions are primary interfaces. Configuration reuses matching predictions, rejects predictions owned by another machine, or creates a trusted Underlay prediction.
DPU interface promotion
crates/api-db/src/machine_interface.rs
Promotion associates a predicted interface with its machine and with the DPU machine. The migration error identifies a conflicting predicted interface.
Promotion integration coverage
crates/site-explorer/tests/integration/machine_creator.rs
Tests verify prediction creation, DHCP promotion, dual ownership, prediction removal, and topology-based discovery. The multi-DPU test removes a redundant machine-creation call.
Underlay DHCP configuration
crates/api-core/tests/integration/connected_device.rs, crates/api-core/tests/integration/network_device.rs, crates/api-web/src/tests/env.rs, crates/api-integration-tests/tests/lib.rs, crates/api-integration-tests/tests/rack.rs
Test setup discovers OOB interfaces on the Underlay segment. DPU OS DHCP uses the shared Underlay relay, while host DHCP keeps a distinct relay.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0ae97

The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up for a localized consistency issue: one error message does not follow the repository’s lowercase convention, creating a bounded maintenance concern without an indicated functional impact.

Use lowercase error text.

Line 2587 passes an uppercase error string to DatabaseError::internal. Change Got to got to meet the error-message rule.

Proposed fix
-            "Got DHCP for predicted interface with MAC address {0} on network segment {1}, which is not of the expected type {2}",
+            "got DHCP for predicted interface with MAC address {0} on network segment {1}, which is not of the expected type {2}",

As per coding guidelines, “the Display text of an error should be a lowercase phrase with no trailing period.”
