Curious, how does confluent ipmi interaction work against those systems?  does 
it manage to successfully downgrade transparently?

I can confirm that that last part is not true:

root@fw01-hpc-hill:/home/novosirj 11:11 PM# ipmitool -U USERID -I lanplus -H 
master-imm chassis status
Password:
Error in open session response message : no matching cipher suite

Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session

…and suspected as much since I had to learn anything about the cipher suites 
and -C. :-D

Maybe the version provided by RHEL derivatives has defaults or something? We’re 
on RHEL8/9 where we’re seeing it.

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.

I’d like to know if there is an option somewhere in xcat to choose -C 3 for 
either selected elderly nodes that don’t support suite 17, or use -C 3 by 
default for the whole cluster? Thanks!
