xCAT assumes that using 'mgt=ipmi' for all bmc related management, that means 'ipmi.pm' plugin will be used for bmc related management.
What's the problem in your case if setting 'mgt=ipmi'?
Thanks
Best Regards

Subject: [xcat-user] bmc attribute confusion
Hi all,
When configuring a node to utilize a java console via wvid, and ipmi for
power, things get a little screwy:
[root@master xCAT_plugin]# chdef c01n69 bmc=c01n69-bmc
Cannot set the 'bmc' attribute unless a value is provided for 'mgt'.
mgt => The method to use to do general hardware management of the
node. This attribute is used as the default if power or getmac is
not set. Valid values: ipmi, blade, hmc, ivm, fsp, bpa. See the
power attribute for more details.
Error: Cannot set the attr='bmc' attribute unless 'mgt=ipmi'.
1 object definitions have been created or modified.
An lsdef of the node shows the bmc attribute empty. I have to manually edit
the ipmi table to add the bmc address for the node so that rpower works.
"lsdef" still shows it blank, but at least at that point rpower is able to
communicate with the node's BMC.
Why is xCAT requiring mgt to be set for the BMC attribute, and all I am
trying to do is utilize rpower for remote power control?
