While the shortcut of typing just the port number usually works, you may want to include the full port name to eliminate any ambiguity. e.g. if snmp says 'Ethernet5' then using Ethternet4 as the value will only match Ethernet4 and not Ethernet1/4, or whatever.

Re: [xcat-user] 回复: [External] running bmc setup and the USERID password

So, for reference, there has been some adapting in the confluent out of band discovery to follow the password situation. In theory, in-band bmcsetup should be fine. An ipmi over kcs password change should count, and doesn't check old password. However it rejects by default: -Too simple

Currently CentOS stream is in effect a beta of upcoming RHEL 8.4, and I presume it'll become a beta of 8.5 when 8.4 gets near release, I suspect it'll be fine, and actually is a useful mechanism to get at 'beta' content versus the previously relatively more closed door process. If nothing

Re: [xcat-user] [External] Re: Issues with net-snmp on new CentOS 8 system and xCAT 2.16 install

So the general problem is that CentOS/RedHat discontinued packaging net-snmp-perl However, net-snmp-perl always carries an *exact-match* dependency on other packages. So net-snmp-libs cannot be upgraded if net-snmp-perl is installed and you don't also have an upgrade for net-snmp-perl. So it
