Neither the reset nor the bmcsetup command were successful.  Watching the
output from bmcsetup, it looked like it was assuming the root user had the
user ID of 1 on the iDRAC, but in fact it was 2.

So on the node I ran "ipmitool user set password 2", set the password, and
after that rpower worked just fine with the node.

Sincerely,

Calvin Dodge
