Hi folks,
Amongst our nodes is an SGI UV10 which will not work with xCAT's IPMI
serial-over-lan setup as it tries to use the "-o intelplus" option
which won't work, thus:
strace -fe execve /opt/xcat/share/xcat/cons/ipmi terri
[...]
execve("/opt/xcat/bin/ipmitool-xcat", ["/opt/xcat/bin/ipmitool-xcat", "-I",
"lanplus", "-o", "intelplus", "-U", "USERID", "-P", "PASSW0RD", "-H",
"terri-imm", "sol", "activate"], [/* 57 vars */]) = 0
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Error: No response activating SOL payload
Replicating from the command line:
[root@merri-m etc]# /opt/xcat/bin/ipmitool-xcat -I lanplus -o intelplus -U
$USER -P $PASS -H terri-imm sol activate
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Error: No response activating SOL payload
However, if we drop the "-o intelplus" it's fine:
[root@merri-m etc]# /opt/xcat/bin/ipmitool-xcat -I lanplus -U $USER -P $PASS
-H terri-imm sol activate
[SOL Session operational. Use ~? for help]
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)
Kernel 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 on an x86_64
terri login:
[...]
There was an xCAT bug on this:
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/bugs/759/
but it's long been closed without any attempt to fix the problem,
even though I had hoped my comments there would get it reopened back
in 2013.
Any chance of it being reopened and addressed please?
Thanks!
Chris
