Al, Thanks for your quick response.
Interestingly, rmcpping fails while ipmiping succeeds: [admin@te-head ~]$ rmcpping bmc-te01 rmcpping bmc-te01 (172.16.0.101) pong timed out: message_tag=164 ^C--- rmcpping bmc-te01 statistics --- 2 pings transmitted, 0 pongs received in time, 100.0% packet loss [admin@te-head ~]$ ipmiping bmc-te01 ipmiping bmc-te01 (172.16.0.101) response received from 172.16.0.101: rq_seq=25 response received from 172.16.0.101: rq_seq=26 response received from 172.16.0.101: rq_seq=27 response received from 172.16.0.101: rq_seq=28 ^C--- ipmiping bmc-te01 statistics --- 4 requests transmitted, 4 responses received in time, 0.0% packet lossWith that discovery, I added the 'ipmiping' workaround to the ipmipower command, which succeeds:
[admin@te-head ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/ipmipower -D lanplus -u admin -p <password> -h bmc-te01 -I 17 -W ipmiping
ipmipower> stat bmc-te01: onAdding '-W ipmiping' to the ipmipower command line in the powerman config causes the node to now be seen:
[admin@te-head ~]$ pm -q on: te01 off: unknown:It seems that these BMCs either don't support RMCP or have it disabled, but at least there is a workaround so thank you for helping me discover it. 🙂

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).Al On 4/11/24 21:21, Devon Bautista via Freeipmi-users wrote: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/https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://ipmipower.dev__;!!Bt8fGhp8LhKGRg!BG2PhUDpc-5_EMUFXtI_2vLQzPsdohKTXub4ruPFSll9lzM83_0KczXA1IyNrcUnTxnXeP4SBCUvCL4$ " 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-te01ipmipower> 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 --statbmc-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 statusChassis Power is onThe "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.
