I don’t see anything there as to the format of nodehm or noderes lines.
I need to know what to put in place of “ipmi” for the power and console
fields, since ipmitool doesn’t work on these nodes.
Could someone please send me the output of
lsdef —osimage <power9_node>
so I can see what is needed and what I’m missing?

Subject: [xcat-user] sample configuration for power9 nodes for
netboot
We are trying out two power9 systems, which come with petitboot, one
with traditional ipmi, the other with openbmc.
Can anyone offer a quick start to the tables I would have to
configure in xcat to get these to netboot (rhel7.x).
Presumably noderes, nodehm, nodelist. Examples for console and
power would be nice, though I’ve found the
doc to be able to do these things using openbmctool and ssh.
Example of genimage and mknb too?
I have scripts for x86_64 that we have dragged along since 2009, but
haven’t touched PPC since the days of AIX.
Thanks,
