[Bug 1300476] Re: Unable to setup BMC/UCS user on Cisco B200 M3

[Andres Rodriguez]

** Description changed:

+ [Test Case]
+ Without the Fix:
+ 1. Install MAAS
+ 2. Power on Cisco B Series Nodes to boot from MAAS.
+ 3. Nodes won't have Power Management set. MAAS won't be able to control. 
  
- On MAAS 1.5+bzr1977-0ubuntu5 enlisting nodes fails to detect the BMC
- power type and therefore not able to create a user to control the BMC.
+ With the Fix:
+ 2. Add Cisco B Series nodes to MAAS:
+ maas <user> node-group probe-and-enlist-ucsm <cluster_uuid>  url=<UCS BMC location, ie. https://10.20.30.5/> username=<bmc user> password=<bmc password>
+ 3. Check that all nodes are added and with power parameters set.
  
- Steps to reproduce: 
-  1. power on the node. 
-  2. Check node settings on MaaS Web GUI. 
  
- Expected result: 
-  1. Node shows up on MaaS Web GUI. 
-  2. The power type is set to IPMI. 
+ On MAAS 1.5+bzr1977-0ubuntu5 enlisting nodes fails to detect the BMC power type and therefore not able to create a user to control the BMC.
  
- Actual results: 
-  2. Power type is not set.

  This is for a Cisco B200 M3 server running UCSM to control the BMC.
  
  Running ipmitool manually on an ephemeral image or manual installation
  of Ubuntu 12.04.4 or 14.04 fails when trying the following:
  
  ipmitool user list
  Get User Access command failed (channel 14, user 1): Invalid command
  
  ipmitool user set name 10 maas
  Set User Name command failed (user 10, name maas): Invalid command
  
  Running ipmitool against the system event log(sel), chassis status or
  lan print all work fine.
  
  Cisco mentions that controlling ipmi directly is disabled by default as
  well as behind a firewall that is disabled. Going through hardware
  enablement for UCSM might be the better choice.
