Power Management on IBM AC922 Power9 (ppc64le)
Hello, I would like to know how to enable Power Management on AC922 hardware from IBM. It’s ppc64le architecture and runs OpenBMC as manager. I only get Test failed: Internal JSON-RPC error when adding the infos with ipmilan on the engine. From the command line I can use ipmitool but without specifying any user. On the Engine I must specify an user. There’s no way to leave it blank. Thanks,
Making a guess here -- on Dell iDRAC there is a setting for "IPMI over LAN". Is there an equivalent on the IBM?
Yes… actually IBM uses pretty standard stuff. IPMI is enabled by default and as I said, I can use ipmitool on CLI and it’s works normally. I do have some updates, I upgraded the OpenBMC firmware and now I can use ipmitool like anything else with -U and -P; so I was hoping that oVirt would handle the Power Management with IPMI over LAN (exactly how you suggested) but the issue stays. JSON-RPC error. :( Now I really think this is a bug, but I would like to get some confirmation from the oVirt devs to raise it on bugzilla.

Hi Vinicius, do you have at least one additional host in the same datacenter as your IBM server (engine requires to have another host acting as fencing proxy)? If yes, then please check /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log on the other host, which acts as a fencing proxy, to see the exact error.

Yes, oVirt requires that you will authenticate against the fencing card although I see in the fence_ipmilan script man page that it has a *auth *parameter that can be set to *"auth=none" *to bypass this authentication, so maybe we should enabled blank user/password if this flag is given in the options field ...
Thanks,
