[Bug 1287964] Re: MAAS incorrectly detects / sets-up BMC information on Dell PowerEdge servers

[Kent Baxley]

Here you go.  Attaching output from M610 and M915.  Both are blades
sitting in the same chassis.  Each server has its own dedicated BMC and
both look to be advertising IPMI 2.0.  However, unless I select auto-
detect or IPMI 1.5 from the UI, the systems will not power up when
selecting 'commission node' or 'start node'.

This ipmipower command works:

$ sudo ipmipower -h 10.0.0.39 -u maas -p Hg6awJQtZ --on
10.0.0.39: ok

but the same command when I use the LAN_2_0 parameter doesn't:

$ sudo ipmipower -D LAN_2_0 -h 10.0.0.39 -u maas -p Hg6awJQtZ --on
10.0.0.30: BMC Error

So, for some reason even though the BMC says it can do IPMI 2.0 I can't run any commands against it using IPMI 2.0
