Hello freeipmi-users,
I have a Sun Fire X4200 that I am trying to remotely control (via
MAAS) using IPMI.
I have changed the root password to ‘example’ for the sake of testing.
1. ssh login works. (ssh root@foo and typing in ‘example’ logs me in and
I can proceed to power the machine on or off)
2. ipmitool works:
$ ipmitool -I lanplus -H foo -U root -P example user list
ID Name Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit
1 false false true NO ACCESS
2 root false false true ADMINISTRATOR
3 maas true true true ADMINISTRATOR
11 ldapproxy true true true OPERATOR
(I can also use ipmitool to power the machine on or off)
3. freeipmi does not:
$ ipmipower -D LAN_2_0 -h foo -u root -P example --stat
foo: password invalid
I have also tested other freeipmi tools such as ipmi-sel with the
same result.
This causes problems because MAAS uses ipmipower and not ipmitool to
monitor and control hosts via IPMI.
I tried multiple different passwords, multiple different users, I tried
enabling every authentication method via bmc-config, I tried setting the
password in different ways (ILOM, bmc-config, ipmitool). I'm at a loss
for what else to try.
Do you have any idea what could be going wrong here? Every other host
works, it just seems to be this specific machine that's incompatible
with freeipmi.
Thanks,
nand
