[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-4729) Document workaround for IPMI protocal type for specific hardware on baremetal

["Jessica Tomechak (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4729?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13775698#comment-13775698 ] 

Jessica Tomechak commented on CLOUDSTACK-4729:
----------------------------------------------

At what point in time would they need to modify the script? During installation? If so, after what existing install step would you insert this step? Or could this just be added as the final step in bare metal installation?

> We should mention to users that Baremetal uses ipmitool to control lifecycle of baremetal host. ipmitool default uses interface 'lan' to issue ipmi commands. Depending on your motherboard, the interface may need to be 'lanplus', in this case, user has to modify script
> /usr/lib64/cloud/agent/scripts/util/ipmi.py
> replace all lines calling ipmi tool for example:
> o = ipmitool("-H", hostname, "-U", usrname, "-P", password, "chassis", "power", "status")
> to
> o = ipmitool("-H", hostname, ,"-I", "lanplus", "-U", usrname, "-P", password, "chassis", "power", "status")
> this issue will be addressed in next release.
