Yeah, though it will deviate from IPMI for select things (e.g. wvid uses http(s) to get the video data from a Flex node).
However for that vendor, it's strictly the IPMI standard subset.

So by "going direct" I take that to mean IPMI using the blades' BMC interface?

The IBM/Lenovo Flex can go either way, but it's much better to go direct. For Flex the CMM is supported for node discovery if preferred. For other vendors, would be up to the vendor to add proprietary chassis based capabilities like that, so only Lenovo/IBM adds that for now. ________________________________ From: Waldron, Michael H Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2015 2:21 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: xCAT and Dell M1000e Node discovery is not necessary, it's a small enough setup where I can manually add nodes. By "work with", I mean can it perform the basic functions of node provisioning and manipulation, i.e. rpower, nodeset install, boot, etc. I currently have an xCAT setup with IBM hardware, and wanted to add some Dell.

Do you want to do node discovery? ________________________________ From: Waldron, Michael H Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2015 1:08 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: xCAT and Dell M1000e Does anyone know if xCAT will work with Dell PowerEdge M1000e blade chassis? I see references to various Dell servers but none relating to blades. Mike Waldron
