Well, if you always run it from the same management server, then 169.254.95.118
would be a viable address if the usb Ethernet interface on the management node
is working, in addition to any external usage of the management server.

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] IPMI Config for xCAT machine itself
Hi there,
We have a few Lenovo GSS/DSS-G storage systems and have just recently started
to look at the GUI. We use a single server to perform the xCAT, storage cluster
quorum node, and the management server for the GUI. We also use the IPMI in
shared mode on basically all of our systems. The GUI/management system attempt
to monitor the xCAT server itself, since it is a member of the storage cluster
for quorum, and reports a problem with xCAT integration.
The problem is that the xCAT server can’t reach its own IPMI port. We keep the
IPMI IPs on a different subnet, and the xCAT machine has an IP on that subnet
and can reach other IPMI IPs, and other systems with an IP on that subnet can
reach it, but I guess something about sharing the same physical port prevents
this from working.
Ideally, I’d just set rinv for the xCAT server to use “-I open” for ipmitool,
but there doesn’t seem to be any way to do this. Does anyone have a clever way
around that, or maybe I’m missing a way I can ask for this to happen with -I
open rather than -I lanplus and an IP address?
