Hi Russell, It has been a while since I did any IBM blades.
This is a bit old but this documentation might help for setting up the Bladecenter communication part if you have not seen it: http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_BladeCenter_Linux_Cluster/ (Go down to the section "Configure xCAT" and check the relevant steps from there). Some checks from the documentation: - Were you able to complete the "rspconfig bcn-sclmp01-mc1 sshcfg=enable snmpcfg=enable" step from your xCAT server so it can get to the AMM? This gets password-less ssh working between xCAT and the Bladecenter Management Module. - Does the password-less ssh test "psh -l USERID bcn-sclmp01-mc1 info -T mm[1]" work? (where USERID is your defined account). I also noticed looking at your lsdef output I think you might need the "id" field populated in the mp table with the blade slot number. I am not sure if you will be able to rpower the blade without that being set.

However when I issue these commands I am getting the following errors. SSH and SNMP are enabled on the chassis, and I am able to login via SSH successfully using the credentials I have configured in the mpa table. The user is configured as a Supervisor. Any assistance in figuring out how to get the management module talking correctly is appreciated!
