The definition looks correct.

Which version of xCAT? "lsxcatd -a"
What is the OS of the xCAT management node ?
Is there a file "/opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/openbmc.pm" on the xCAT
management node ?

OK, here is the lsdef gpu1413 after a few fixes I made. Still doesn’t work.
Password redacted.
A few things are inherited from cluster defaults, but I’m not planning to
boot this host diskless.

[root@mgt5 ~]# lsdef gpu1413

      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 latest version of xCAT 2.14.6 should
                              support management of AC922 machines.

                              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.
