Public bug reported:
AMT uses same MAC- and IP-address like the host network port of the
computer. MAAS seems to have a problem with that. MAAS detects all
computers that may be controlled by MAAS. Now we can configure the
machine e. g. by setting the power configuration to have AMT on a
specific IP address. Now MAAS registers that IP-address as "BMC"-IP.
That address is now reserved for the BMC and cannot be reused. Now I
have to assign a new host-IP-address for the machine. And that is the
point everything breaks. MAAS dhcp sets this new IP-address which also
changes the AMT-IP-address to this, because AMT and host are sharing the
same MAC-address. Now MAAS is not able to switch the computer on using
the configured AMT power IP-address. There is only one way to trick MAAS
to work: After the host IP is assigned, I can reconfigure the IP in
"power configurations" to the host-IP, because on the opposite way the
conflict is not detected.
We need a checkbox "shared with host" here.
