Hi I have an home lab with a hp proliant dl 165 g7. its commissioning fails when running 30-maas-01-bmc-config failure. The error log is the following.

ERROR: No cipher enabled!
INFO: Loading IPMI kernel modules...
INFO: Checking for HP Moonshot...
INFO: Checking for Redfish...
ERROR: Redfish configuration failed. Missing SMBIOS data
INFO: Checking for IPMI...
INFO: IPMI detected!
INFO: Reading current IPMI BMC values...

I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction for debugging this. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The error message No cipher enabled is interesting. Can you check if ciphers are enabled in the IPMI configuration in the LO100 module (BMC) of this server? MAAS doesn’t support suite 0 (no cipher)

Hi Alexsandre,

can I check through bmc-config --checkout? If that is the case its output follows I could not see anything related to LO100.

# Section UserX Comments 
#
# In the following User sections, users should configure usernames, passwords, 
# and access rights for IPMI over LAN communication. Usernames can be set to any 
# string with the exception of User1, which is a fixed to the "anonymous" 
# username in IPMI. 
#
# For IPMI over LAN access for a username, set "Enable_User" to "Yes", 
# "Lan_Enable_IPMI_Msgs" to "Yes", and "Lan_Privilege_Limit" to a privilege 
# level. The privilege level is used to limit various IPMI operations for 
# individual usernames. It is recommended that atleast one username be created 
# with a privilege limit "Administrator", so all system functions are available 
# to atleast one username via IPMI over LAN. For security reasons, we recommend 
# not enabling the "anonymous" User1. For most users, "Lan_Session_Limit" can be 
# set to 0 (or ignored) to support an unlimited number of simultaneous IPMI over 
# LAN sessions. 
#
# If your system supports IPMI 2.0 and Serial-over-LAN (SOL), 
# a"SOL_Payload_Access" field may be listed below. Set the "SOL_Payload_Access" 
# field to "Yes" or "No" to enable or disable this username's ability to access 
# SOL. 
#
# Please do not forget to uncomment those fields, such as "Password", that may 
# be commented out during the checkout. 
#
# Some motherboards may require a "Username" to be configured prior to other 
# fields being read/written. If this is the case, those fields will be set to 
# <username-not-set-yet>.

# Section SOL_Conf Comments 
#
# If your system supports IPMI 2.0 and Serial-over-LAN (SOL), the following 
# configuration options will allow SOL configuration. 
#
# For most users that want to enable SOL, minimally "Enable_SOL" should be set 
# to "Yes" and "SOL_Privilege_Level" should be set to the highest privilege 
# level any username configured can authenticate with (typically 
# "Administrator"). For security purposes, "Force_SOL_Payload_Authentication" 
# and "Force_SOL_Payload_Encryption" should be set to "Yes", however forced 
# authentication and/or encryption depends on the cipher suite IDs supported. 
# The "Non_Volatile_Bit_Rate" and "Volatile_Bit_Rate" should both be set to the 
# appropriate baud rate for your system. This is typically the same baud rate 
# configured in the BIOS and/or operating system.

in section Rmcpplus_Conf_Privilege, all ciphers are set to OEM_Proprietary which nobody but HP know what it means. Please set Maximum_Privilege_Cipher_Suite_Id_3 to Administrator

Hi, now the same script fails with

@ingfimo, did you mean that you get this new script failure after setting Maximum_Privilege_Cipher_Suite_Id_3 to Administrator ?

7

Apologies for the late reply. Yes that’s correct. I solved by creating the mass user myself and skipping the bmc-configure script. With that the machine was correctly commissioned

Hi ingfimo,
I have encountered the same problem on HP ProLiant DL140 G3. Could you please let me know what’s the password you set for the user maas on the IPMI of the HP machine? Thanks.

By checking this docs, it only said,

The MAAS-generated IPMI username is set to “maas” by default. This username is used for IPMI authentication.

but did not mention about the password.

9

Hi created a new user from scratch for IPMI, with arbitrary username, and password. Then I added manually the machine setting the created user for IPMI, and I did not run the bmc-configure script.

If you let MAAS configure the BMC, then it will create a “maas” user with a randomly generated password

Thanks to @ingfimo and @r00ta!
