Thanks!
I was under the impression mgt attribute was just a "catch-all" for
if you didn't want to have to manually set both nodehm.power and
nodehm.cons.
We have custom perl modules that are utilizing nodehm.mgt for
storing data for launching custom java consoles when wvid is called.
So that I am better aware of what the downsides are to this, what is
nodehm.mgt used for that nodehm.power and nodehm.cons is not?

You need to provide the mgt

can tabedit and get around it but that is not satisfying the
xcat database setup requirement. You need to tell us the
method used for hardware control, in this case ipmi.

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?------------------------------------------------------------------------------
