I have 5 Dell 2950 PowerEdge servers only 1 of the servers has a DRAC, the rest just rely on BMC.
I can successfully PXE boot the servers from the MaaS controller and when completed it powers down the node and I can see the nodes in the MaaS nodes page. When I page over to the node, I see that the IPMI setting are filled in except for the MAC address. However when I try to commission the node it fails with a power fault condition and I cannot power up the nodes with MaaS, however MaaS DOES detect if I power up the node manually. I've tried IPMI 1.5 and 2.0. I also tried to configure the power setting to "Manual" but on a subsequent boot, MaaS overwrites the power settings, and then it reverts to the previously described behavior. I got a somewhat different behavior with the Server WITH the DRAC module. In that case The IPMI settings were not set and I had to set them by hand, but once set, I was able to commission the node, but it would fail on deploy with a timeout. In this instance it seems like MaaS just wasn't waiting long enough for the server to go through its lengthy BIOS boot. I'm running the 16.04 distro. Regards Ernie
