I haven't tried running bmcsetup directly, normally its called as a part of node discovery, or by using nodeset
It shouldn't matter what default credentials Lenovo is using, as bmcsetup will call ipmitool and just blindly set what ever ipmi attributes you have configured see https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/references/man5/ipmi.5.html If you want to manually configure using ipmitool, then be aware that usernames are case sensitive and that some management processes wont let you change them. Here is an example of manually configuring an old Altix node that I had in my notes, they may be out of date, but could be of use to you. But ultimately as previously mentioned its better to let bmcsetup take care of it for you. # Configure user admin ipmitool user set name 3 admin ipmitool user set password 3 admin ipmitool channel setaccess 1 3 ipmi=on link=off callin=off privilege=4 ipmitool sol payload enable 1 3 # Confirm settings. ipmitool user list 1 ipmitool channel getaccess 1 3 ipmitool sol payload status 1 3 Cheers, Carl.
