David,

1. How were you able to install
xCAT-openbmc-py-2.14.6-snap201903290319.noarch ? Were you able to install
its's dependencies?

2. Can you run "lsdef gpu1413 -V" so we can see which table each attribute
is being pulled from ?

3. Can you run "tabdump openbmc" so we can see if gpu1413 has an entry
there ?

I did confirm that openbmc.pm does exist in the place you mentioned.

I had managed to confuse the BMC address with the petitboot IP address,
that is now sorted out,
and I can access "ssh -p 2200 gpu1413-bmc” and the web gui, which I was
previously unable to do.

Still the rpower command is the same result as before…
[root@mgt5 ~]# rpower gpu1413 stat
gpu1413: [mgt5]: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check
relevant tables: nodehm.power,mgt;nodehm.mgt;pduoutlet.pdu=.*

      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….

                                          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

                                          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
