David, I would like to understand why you are getting "Unable to identify plugin for this command" when your BMC is pingable but not accessible.
You should have gotten something like this on xCAT 2.14.6: [root@fs2vm101 ~]# rpower f5u14 stat f5u14: [fs2vm101]: Error: [500] Login to BMC failed: 500 Can't connect to 10.5.14.1:443 (Connection refused). f5u14: [fs2vm101]: Error: BMC did not respond. Validate BMC configuration and retry the command. [root@fs2vm101 ~]# What version of xCAT are you running ?

I think I’m missing the last step in setting up the BMC: d. To reset your firmware run the following command: ipmitool raw 0x06 0x40. Will try it and see if that helps. I can ping the BMC address, but as I said earlier, I get connection refused on ipmitool as well as ssh. Also when in the Exit to shell environment, netstat -an shows nothing listening on any ethernet ports. I’ve just written myself a 7.6 rhel-alt USB stick, and trying to figure out how to make the two flash drives into a raid1 mirror (maybe I’ll just skip that part). Thanks for the help so far…. — ddj On Oct 18, 2019, at 4:43 PM, Mark Gurevich <[email protected]> wrote: The definition looks correct. Which version of xCAT?

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" ?
