Public bug reported:
Beginning with MAAS 1.5+bzr1977-0ubuntu2 and up to today's daily builds
(1.5+bzr1977+2064+245~ppa0~ubuntu14.04.1), maas no longer seems to
either detect or properly configure the BMCs on Dell PowerEdge servers
during enlistment.
I've noticed two scenarios:
1) When the system enlists, the enlistment itself appears to work OK,
but, when I look at the node in the MAAS WebUI, MAAS tells me that there
is no power type set and that I need to set one.
2) The system enlists OK, and node's Power Parameters in the UI appear to be
filled out fine. In other words, the correct Power driver is populated as well
as the correct IP address for the BMC. I also have a 'maas' power user and
generated password. However, if I click 'commission node' nothing happens
(i.e. the node doesn't power on).
Workarounds:
In scenario #1 if I go and fill out the IPMI information by hand for an
affected node, then commissioning, etc. works fine after that.
In scenario #2 if I change the Power User and Power Password parameters
in the UI to what's already on the BMC (i.e. root/calvin), then
commissioning, etc. works fine after that.
This is the first time in a while that PowerEdge didn't 'just work' with
MAAS with regard to power settings. I know there has been some churn in
the IPMI department lately for MAAS.
I'll be attaching logs for each one of the PowerEdges affected by the
respective scenarios.
