Hi Dave,
That is quite interesting. Short description, in the background of
shell mode, ipmipower will "ping" nodes half regularly to make sure they
are there. Because it is supposed to "run forever" under powerman,
there's no point to send power control to nodes missing from a cluster
(e.g. taken out for maintenance) and thus slowing down powerman.
"not discovered" means that it can't ping that node.
Does "rmcpping" to the node work?
if not, does "ipmiping" to the node work?
If so, perhaps the "ipmiping" workaround to ipmipower would work (see
manpage on workaround).

Hello,
Similar to my previous email regarding issues with the M50CYP Intel
board, I'm running into issues with the newer M50FCP Intel board.
I'm trying to use powerman to manage power to nodes with an Intel
M50FCP board:
[admin@te-head ~]$ pm -q
on:
off:
unknown: te01
The /etc/powerman/powerman.conf is:
include "/etc/powerman/ipmipower.dev"
device "ipmi0" "ipmipower" "/usr/sbin/ipmipower -D lanplus -u admin
-p <password> -h bmc-te01 -I 17 |&"
node "te01" "ipmi0" "bmc-te01"
Running the ipmipower command:
[admin@te-head ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/ipmipower -D lanplus -u admin -p
<password> -h -I 17 bmc-te01
ipmipower> debug
debugging is now on
ipmipower> stat
bmc-te01: not discovered
However:
[admin@te-head ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/ipmipower -D lanplus -u admin -p
<password> -h bmc-te01 -I 17 --stat
bmc-te01: on
I'm also able to hit the BMC with ipmitool:
[admin@te-head ~]$ ipmitool -I lanplus -H bmc-te01 -U admin -P
<password> power status
Chassis Power is on
The "not discovered" error doesn't seem to be documented in the
ipmipower manual page and I haven't been able to find out online what
it means. It is odd that entering "stat" in the ipmipower shell errs,
but using the "--stat" option works fine. This only seems to happen
with these newer Intel Fox Creek Pass boards and not other boards I have.
For context, conman works with the following config:
SERVER keepalive=ON
SERVER logdir="/var/log/conman"
SERVER logfile="/var/log/conman.log"
SERVER loopback=ON
SERVER pidfile="/var/run/conman.pid"
SERVER resetcmd="/usr/bin/powerman -0 %N; sleep 5; /usr/bin/powerman
-1 %N"
SERVER tcpwrappers=ON
GLOBAL seropts="115200,8n1"
GLOBAL log="/var/log/conman/console.%N"
GLOBAL logopts="sanitize,timestamp"# IPMI Console\
CONSOLE name="te01" dev="ipmi:bmc-te01"
ipmiopts="U:admin,P:<password>,C:17,W:solpayloadsize"
Is there a way to fix this?
Versions:
ipmipower - 1.6.8
ipmiconsole - 1.6.8
powerman - 2.3.26
Regards,
Devon
