Public bug reported: I have a system with an intel iBMC onboard.
MAAS can successfully create the maas user and add/change the password, and it also has the correct administrator priviliges. MAAS also created the user in slot 6, the first available, rather than choking on slot 4 or 10. HOWEVER, any time I try to use MAAS to actually power the machine on, I see a traceback in the celery log and the system fails to come on. I CAN, however, control the system via IPMI directly (ipmitool) to bring it up or down. MAAS sets the power for this system to IPMI 2.0 Here's the traceback from celery.log, not that it's terribly informative: [2014-03-18 15:32:34,605: ERROR/MainProcess] Task provisioningserver.tasks.power_off[868fef2b-8335-449d-a18f-8ef8307bdce2] raised unexpected: PowerActionFail() Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/celery/app/trace.py", line 218, in trace_task R = retval = fun(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/celery/app/trace.py", line 398, in __protected_call__ return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/provisioningserver/tasks.py", line 161, in power_off issue_power_action(power_type, 'off', **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/provisioningserver/tasks.py", line 141, in issue_power_action pa.execute(**kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/provisioningserver/power/poweraction.py", line 132, in execute rendered = self.render_template(template, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/provisioningserver/power/poweraction.py", line 107, in render_template raise PowerActionFail(self, error) PowerActionFail I also attempted to set the power type to PMI 1.5 and that too produced the same traceback and failure to power on.
