What has changed in later releases for RHEL-based OS is the behavior of
ipmitool. I don’t know enough about the origins of the ipmitool that xCAT uses
or how much it relies on the OS, but we have many systems that require -C 3 in
order to connect on I believe both RHEL8 and RHEL9.

Bear in mind that this is called “Confluent” (pronounced Con-FLU-ent), and not
Confluence, which is a part of the Jira suite of tools (nor Apache Confluent —
this namespace seems a little crowded).

I haven’t tested firmware updates on other-than-Lenovo either, but would be
relatively willing to. I have some Dell equipment defined in Confluent that
