I think the problem is the nodetype=mp,   that is not valid.
chdef bc2a1 nodetype=mm
chdef bc2a2  nodetype=mm

Then when you lsdef bc2a1,  you should see the password and username
displayed.  Right now they are not being displayed

For example:

lsdef compute2
Object name: compute2
    groups=mygroup2
    hwtype=mm
    id=0
    mgt=blade
    nodetype=mm
    password=password1
    postbootscripts=otherpkgs
    postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
    username=user1

I'm afraid it was before 2.7.x... Would it be a problem?
Currently (on 2.8.5) outputs are:

lsdef bc2a1
Object name: bc2a1
    groups=mm,all
    hwtype=mm
    id=0
    mgt=blade
    mpa=bc2a1
    nodetype=mp
    postbootscripts=otherpkgs
    postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles

lsdef bc2a2
Object name: bc2a2
    groups=mm,all
    hwtype=mm
    id=0
    mgt=blade
    mpa=bc2a2
    nodetype=mp
    postbootscripts=otherpkgs
    postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles

passwd:
....
"blade","adminuser","<one-password>",,,,
....

mpa:
...
"bc2a2","adminuser","<another-password>",,,,,
....

Thanks for looking into this.
Regards,
Michael

  Do you remember if you were on 2.8.X  before or 2.7.X or an even earlier
  version of xCAT.
  Could you give us the following output, when you have put it back to
  where it was working before.

  lsdef bc2a1
  lsdef bc2a2

  tabdump passwd
  tabdump mpa

  Hi,

  Thanks for your reply.
  Right, I didn't change anything for blades.
  Here is what happening:
  there are two BladeCenter chassis, configured identically except of
  course name, IP address AND user's password,
  say, bc2a1 and bc2a2. Password for bc2a1 is in passwd table (as default,
  in "blade" line), password for bc2a2 is in mpa table.
  r-commands (rscan, rinv, rpower, etc.) work fine for bc2a1, but don't for
  bc2a2 resulting in message "Authentication failure (incorrect password,
  community or key)". Changing line in passwd table with password for bc2a2
  makes r-command work, but obviously they stop working for bc2a1.
  Sorry, I don't remember the exact version of xCAT this setup was
  working... Probably it just misconfiguration..
  Can you suggest how I could troubleshot this? Unfortunately "xcatdebug -f
  enable" produces a huge file when just executing "rscan" command, do you
  know how I can narrow it down for this particular case?

  Thanks for your time,
  Regards,
  Michael

        Show me more of your issue. You did not change any thing for your
        blade node after xcat update, right? If you did , check the
        changes.

        Thanks
        Best Regards

        Hello All,

        Sorry to bother, but I was wondering if mpa table handling has
        changed from previous versions of xCAT?
        According to documentation, if there is an entry in mpa table,
        that's what is used instead of default settings in passwd table.
        And that worked fine a couple of versions back of xCAT on mixture
        of BladeCenter Management Modules with different userid/passwords.
        In version 2.8.5 it doesn't for some reason. Is it something
        related to format (new?) of passwd, mp, mpa tables and what was
        just misconfigured? Or something else?

        Would appreciate any insights on this.

        Thank you in advance,
        Regards,
        Michael
