Hi Dmitri,
You have done nothing wrong. We have introduced a bug in blade.pm in
recent development to support new hardware in xCAT 2.7, it broke the way
how user/name is looked up. The bugged code assumed the username is
always 'USERID" for blade center AMM which is not true for a lot of cases.
So I am sorry that you are the first victim :-). Thanks a lot for finding
it out and for communicating with us so clear so that we identified the
problem very fast. I'll open a high severity defect and we will release
the fix very soon. For now please just use the passwd table.
Thanks,
Ling

I've added entry to passwd table with key 'blade' and xcat is using the
entry OK. Thank you.
What is xcat 2.7 looking for in mpa table that it cannot find?
I see that xCAT 2.7 got new field in mp table - nodetype.
I set it to 'mm' for AMM and 'blade' for blades - it still goes to passwrd
table...
Thanks.
