bmcsetup does a lot of stuff that IBM systems don't need to have done, it is intended to support as many IPMI implementations as is reasonable. We used to downgrade OEM to Administrator privilege in a few cases that caused some problems on other systems, but now we even leave OEM privilege level alone when encountered. It used to assume channel 1 was 'the' LAN channel, now it seeks out one in the event that isn't the case.

Did you have do do any manual configuration in the BMC or make any changes to the xCat code to get this working?

Everything appears to be configured properly on the xcat management node, both the compute and the BMC networks all ping without an issue. When I tell a node to do a bmcsetup, it displays the following error on the screen: Unable to prove root on your IP approves of this request It then waits for a random period of time, tries again and always succeeds the second time with no errors being shown. The management node does not have access to the internet, and as a result it is also dumping these bind warnings out to /var/log/messages. These only appear when the compute node is requesting config parameters from the MN: Mar 13 10:46:24 linux7mgt named[6915]: too many timeouts resolving '0/A' (in '.'?): disabling EDNS Mar 13 10:46:24 linux7mgt named[6915]: too many timeouts resolving './NS' (in '.'?): disabling EDNS Mar 13 10:46:24 linux7mgt named[6915]: too many timeouts resolving 'C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET/AAAA' (in '.'?): disabling EDNS Mar 13 10:46:24 linux7mgt named[6915]: too many timeouts resolving 'C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET/AAAA' (in '.'?): disabling EDNS Mar 13 10:46:24 linux7mgt named[6915]: too many timeouts resolving 'C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET/AAAA' (in '.'?): disabling EDNS Mar 13 10:46:24 linux7mgt named[6915]: too many timeouts resolving 'L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET/AAAA' (in '.'?): disabling EDNS Could these issues be a side effect of bind not having access to the internet to do root DNS lookups? It seems unlikely, but given that it seems to always succeed a second time, and after succeeding everything works perfectly, I'm at a loss.
