We use redfish exclusively for our equipment and disable IPMI after adding a machine to MAAS
If that system is recommissioned, MAAS turns IPMI back on.
How do I configure MAAS to not enable IPMI?
Is it not simply a matter of ticking “Skip configuring supported BMC controllers with a MAAS generated username and password” at the Commissioning stage?
(This is certainly what I use when commissioning Moonshot blades, and preventing it changing the machine type from Msmc to IPMI.)
We already do that, but this is a large environment and eventually someone recomissions a machine without checking that box.
I don’t recall seeing a way to set a default for that, did you find one?
No, I don’t know of one, sorry. It would be a good idea to have that configurable globally; we too don’t want to have it run by accident.
You can try to delete or modify the commissioning scripts 30-maas-01-bmc-config from
