Public bug reported: Trying to change passwords or usernames of BMC user with ipmitool fails on our new IBM Power9 machine with Ubuntu 18.04. It works fine on our older IBM Power8 machine with Ubuntu 16.04.
For example: root@srv-03:~# ipmitool user list 1 IPMI command failed: Invalid command On the Power8 machine this lists the users on the BMC. Manipulating the LAN setting of the BMC using ipmitool works fine on both IBM machines.
