In xCAT 2.16.0 a new option "-n" was added to "bmcdiscover" to change the
default BMC password during discovery. (

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] running bmc setup and the USERID
password
Lenovo has implemented change the USERID password from the default PASSW0RD
in recent firmware iterations. We had success in implementing an expect
script that ran after the bmcsetup script ran that would change the
password to our own.
However, in the recent batch of nodes, the default password (PASSW0RD) is
changed / different. Does anyone know what the new password is? Also, this
new policy of having to change the bmc password right away is, to say
the least, not convenient. We spend more time now messing with the bmc
scripts than deploying the nodes.
Is there a procedure or some step that I am missing?
Thanks,
