I have some not such good news...we found that ipmitool didn't connect
remotely because another admin had changed the user/password by accident.
Apparently it affected ipmitool but not the web ILO. Now that I've fixed
the user/password, ipmitool works:
[root@master xCAT]# ipmitool -I lanplus -U xxxx -P xxxx -H node11903-man0
power status
Chassis Power is on
Now I don't have anything to take up with HP :( Even after ipmitool works
remotely now, that still didn't fix the xcat/ipmi error.
My only lead now is the cipher change David mentioned earlier in this
thread. So there is some cipher xcat no longer supports as of 2.8.4? Can
anyone elaborate on this, perhaps its the clue about our BMC configuration?
If I know what cipher needs to be supported perhaps I can find out what I
need from HP.
