Crowbar does provision an account / modify an existing account to what is 
"configured" within Crowbar -  As Shane pointed out the user/password combo 
exists in the 
opt/dell/barclamps/ipmi/chef/data_bags/crowbar/bc-template-ipmi.json file and 
can be modified by the user pre/post admin node install. I am not listing the 
username/password in the files here.

Note that if you modify just the password in that file (and don't change the 
current user provisioned in the crowbar default install) then the user in slot 
2 is modified with the new password. If you change the user name to anything 
other than the current value then it's provisioned in slot 3 on the bmc/idrac 
(if you have the same user name existing in a different slot this may cause an 
error) during allocation (rather serious consequences on R series systems )

Ideally you'd modify the data bag prior to an admin install and use that 
credential combo for all systems allocated from then on - As Shane mentioned, 
if you want different credentials for each cluster then post discovery of a new 
cluster you could modify the data bag with new credentials and re-install the 
ipmi barclamp prior to allocation of the cluster 
(/opt/dell/bin/barclamp_install.rb ipmi). Crowbar will handle different 
credentials across the clusters but if you plan to run ipmitool commands from 
the admin, you would need to know the credentials you provisioned on the nodes 
- A simple way to get that information is listed below

root@admin:~# knife search node name:* -a 'ipmi.bmc_password'
2 items found

id:                 admin.mesabld3860.org
ipmi.bmc_password:  snipped-for-security-purposes

id:                 d78-45-c4-fb-4d-b7.mesabld3860.org
ipmi.bmc_password:  snipped-for-security-purposes


Hope this helps!

Thanks Rajeev.

This command listed the BMC addresses.

The Crowbar node inventory.csv did not list these IP addresses though.

This information is usually listed for each node in the UI - alternately you 
can run a simple command on the admin to get the info - example below

root@admin:~# knife search node name:* -a 'crowbar.network.bmc.address'
2 items found

crowbar.network.bmc.address:  192.168.124.163
id:                           d78-45-c4-fb-4d-b7.mesabld3860.org

crowbar.network.bmc.address:  192.168.124.168
id:                           admin.mesabld3860.org

John-Paul,
I'm going from memory - someone else may have a more specific answer...
This data should be provided in the Crowbar UI for the Node.  I think there's a 
list of all the assigned IPs with their associated network.
If you want the raw data, there are two places to look for this information in 
the Chef database: both are Chef Roles.  Check the "wall" in the 
crowbar-node-Name role's metadata and also the "bc-network-default" or similar 
where Crowbar maintain's network information.
Hopefully someone else can give you a more precise answer.
Rob

Hi,

Where does crowbar record the IP addresses assigned to devices in the bmc_vlan?

Specifically, I want to use ipmi from the admin node to interface with the 
idrac cards and can't find which IP's were assigned to these interfaces.

I'm assuming this is handled by crowbar.

Thanks,
