Re: [xcat-user] [External] Ipmitool support for old BMC cipher suite 3

[David Johnson]

We encountered the problem with rpower and gocons when we migrated our cluster this morning from rhel7.9 to rhel9.2.  Most nodes had no issue when I moved the consoles from the old front end to the new one but one batch of tyan gpu nodes timed out on rpower, and couldn’t make a connection with sol.  Googling revealed that some BMC firmware would reply that they offer suite 17, but in fact they did not implement it.   Have not looked for updated firmware yet for these ten nodes, looking for an easier fix if possible.     -- ddj Dave Johnson On Jan 9, 2024, at 5:31 PM, Jarrod Johnson <jjohns...@lenovo.com> wrote:  In what context do you find use of  ipmitool with '-C'?  I was checking the ipmi console backend and it doesn't seem to have that. rpower and such should try SHA256, fallback to SHA1 (equivalent to -C 3) The ipmi backend for conserver, if used, doesn't currently attempt a -C 17 that I see.  Newer ipmitool should try 17 and fallback to 3, if that's the issue.
