What's logs in `/var/log/xcat/cluster.log` after you run bmcdiscover
And do you have changed the BMC default user/password on those servers?
BTW: what's you server model? if it is x86_64 ipmi based server, could you run
```
/opt/xcat/bin/ipmitool-xcat -vv -I lanplus $bmcusername $bmcpassword -H $ip chassis status -R 1
```

Subject: [xcat-user] bmcdiscover is not working
Date: Thu, Nov 15, 2018 7:38 AM
I'm trying to get bmcdiscover to work. Fresh install of xCAT 2.14.4 on RedHat 7.4. I have two nodes at 192.168.103.11 and 192.168.103.13; they do respond to ARP and ping. I used to run earlier versions of xCAT (2.13 I believe) on the same hardware, and at the time had bmcdiscover working.I currently have no nodes defined in xCAT yet, just the networks. DHCP is working.nmap can find the nodes without a problem:[root@TEST ~]# nmap -sn 192.168.103.11
Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2018-11-14 15:29 PST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.103.11
Host is up (0.00037s latency).
MAC Address: 50:9A:4C:XX:XX:XX (Unknown)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.03 secondsBut BMCDiscover does not see this node:[root@TEST ~]# bmcdiscover -s nmap --range=192.168.103.11 -z
Warning: [mn-test]: No bmc found.I also used tcpdump to see the traffic generated by bmcdiscover; I only see ARP requests - bmcdiscover does not seem to even try to connect to the BMC.[root@TEST ~]# tcpdump -i p1p1 -vv not stp
tcpdump: listening on p1p1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
