With dell servers for example it's as simple as editing the host and enabling power management then selecting the appropriate drac version and entering login details. I'm not familiar with what supermicro uses for remote management but there is likely an option there to support it On Mon, Nov 5, 2018, 4:20 PM David Johnson <djohnson@maxistechnology.com wrote:

Good day all,

Is there a simple step-by-step instruction to give my cluster controller the ability to turn the power for my compute nodes on and off?

I am running ovirt 4.7.2 on Centos 7. My compute nodes are on Supermicro X7QC3 hosts.

I know it is supposed to be there since every time I look at the dashbaord it complains that "Host has disabled power management". I imagine it is supposed to be trivial to configure.

What I keep running into with the documents is the assumption that you already know what to do before you read the documents. This makes for a dizzy cycle of digging through various feature documents, manuals, etc, to end up back where I started.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I see that the server mentioned has IPMI 2.0. Thus I would check to configure power management using IPMI. For example: I use "type" ipmilan, with the options lanplus=1
