We have a bunch of machines that work using the Intel AMT power management and it is working fine and all, but I noticed that during enlistment and commissioning the /dev/meiX device is missing.
I tried to do a modprobe and noticed that the kernel drivers for mei is not added on boot time.
If I do a normal deploy on my devices, it does add the correct devices and I am able to see the device post-install but by then I had to manually add the device settings.
Is there a way that we can add this driver to the kernel? I have tried the GA, HWE and HWE-Edge kernels, but with no luck
My end goal is to get all the device settings from Intel AMT on enlistment time so that I don’t have to manually sort through 10s of machines by hand
If you need some examples, you can explore the default scripts on the same window. In addition to that, check the MAAS documentation with the metadata reference associated to this type of scripts:
I can see them once they are deployed, that is not my issue.
My issue is that I can’t see them in the commissioning step. I want to connect to the /dev/meiXX device during enlistment/commissioning so that I can get the information of the host dynamically.
Once it has been deployed I don’t really need that driver all that much (at least not in MAAS)
