[Maas-devel] BMC detection

[Julian Edwards]

I've attached a prototype script that works out the IP addresses of all the 
BMCs it can find in the network range that you specify.

It works by nmap probing the RMCP port in the IP range and if it sees a 
response it's already likely to be a BMC, but then goes on to verify it by 
issuing an ipmiping command.

Seems to work in the lab at least:

ubuntu at lenovo-RD230-01:~$ ./bmc-detect.py 192.168.21.255/24
['192.168.21.50', '192.168.21.51', '192.168.21.52', '192.168.21.53']

I'm sure we can use this as inspiration to do something better inside the 
pserv process.
