David, The xCAT-openbmc.py is part of beta level Python version of xCAT support for OpenBMC. The standard Perl support for OpenBMC is done by /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/openbmc.pm If you really want to try using Python, you can follow https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/references/coral/cluster_mgmt/scalability/python/index.html
You can see if Python or Perl is used by running hardware control commands, like rpower or rvitals with "-V" flag. The error you are seeing "Unable to identify plugin for this command," usually mean xCAT can not find appropriate module to handle the command. The "mgt=openbmc" suppose to tell xCAT to use "/opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/openbmc.pm" module. Can you run "lsdef gpu1413" ?

I found openbmctool already installed on my system, but that indicates connection refused. I’m wondering if I need to enable remote management within petitboot?

The node definition for these nodes should contain "mgt=openbmc" and "cons=openbmc" After that normal xCAT commands like "rpower", "rcons", "rflash", etc should work.

I’m having trouble finding out how to use either ipmitool or openbmc tools to manage power and console for a new IBM powerpc GPU node. Existing cluster is running the latest update of xcat. Can’t find openbmc executable or the openbmctool package download referred to in the ibm documentation. We had one of these machines for a POC about a year ago, but I forgot how we dealt with it. -- ddj Dave Johnson _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list [email protected] https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lists.sourceforge.net_lists_listinfo_xcat-2Duser&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=cGs4a-jfx6Emudek2Wdi4FLq2XKm1pvrlbCQ-h7Qq7A&m=qF4DmIKcGO4amgKNS29zFG0RNE6cyKfkz4aWKXECXVA&s=dkOhMD29aXqdv-pXM8i8vNw0Veh14QoIwbo71nXLbbc&e=
