powerman‐devices - Powerman Device Configuration Notes
DESCRIPTION
Following are notes on configuring various remote power controllers and related equipment
supported by PowerMan.
CYCLADES TS-1000
A cyclades TS-1000 configured so that PowerMan can connect to serial-port-based remote
power control devices using telnet is set up as follows:
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at 9600,8n1 and
authenticate with default account: root/tslinux.
Edit the following files (assumes no off-subnet routing or name service required):
/etc/portslave/portslave.conf
conf.eth_ip 192.168.54.151
conf.eth_mask 255.255.255.0
conf.dhcp_client 0
#

all.datasize 8
all.stopbits 1
all.parity none
all.flow none
all.dcd 0
all.DTR_reset 1
all.protocol socket_server
all.authtype none

s8.tty ttyS8
s9.tty ttyS9
s10.tty ttyS10
s11.tty ttyS11
s12.tty ttyS12
s13.tty ttyS13
s14.tty ttyS14
s15.tty ttyS15

/etc/hostname
cyclades-ts-test
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.54.151 cycaldes-ts-test
Next, run signal_ras hup and saveconf and finally, power cycle the unit. It should be
possible to configure PowerMan to connect to hostname:7001 for port 1, hostname:7002 for
port 2, etc..
BAYTECH RPC-3 (non-NC models) (network port 23)
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at 9600,8n1. Main
menu should display.
From main menu, select 3)...Configuration, then set IP parameters.
From Configuration menu, select 5)...Access, then disable command confirmation, set admin
password to baytech, and enable prompt for password. Exit Access menu by typing return.
From Configuration menu, select 6)...Outlets. Ensure that 1)...Outlet Status display is
disabled, and 2)...Command Confirmation is disabled.
Exit back to main menu by typing return twice, then answer Y to the Accept changes?
prompt.
BAYTECH RPC-28-NC (serial 9600,8n1)
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at 9600,8n1. Type
return to get RPC-28> prompt. Type Help for a list of commands.
Select config. Select 3)...Enable/Disable Confirmation and disable confirmation. Select
4)...Enable/Disable Status Menu and disable status menu
LNXI ICEBOX V2 (network port 1010)
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at 9600,8n1. Enter
default password of icebox.
net ip 192.168.54.153
Sets IP address.
net mask 255.255.255.0
Sets network mask
net gw 192.168.54.254
Set default gateway. Note: this may need to be set to an address in the same
subnet as the ice box regardless of whether it is to be used or not.
reboot Reboots the icebox.
LNXI ICEBOX V3 (network port 1010)
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at 9600,8n1.
Authenticate with default account admin/icebox. Configuration is the same as the V2 ICE
BOX.
APC MASTERSWITCH MODEL AP9606 (network port 23)
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port (may be labeled
``advanced port'') at 2400,8n1. Press enter, then authenticate with default account
apc/apc.
Choose Network from main menu.
Choose TCP/IP from Network menu, then diable BOOTP, and accept changes. Set the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway, and accept changes.
Pres ESC until the main menu appears, then select Logout.
WTI RPS10 (serial 9600,8n1)
Set address of box using the rotary dial on the back. The Master module must be set to
address 0. Slave modules may be set to unique values from 1-9. The address corresponds
to the plug name in the powerman.conf file.
Setup switches on each module should be set to 9600 baud (sw1 down), 5 sec toggle delay
(sw2 down), power up to previous state (sw3 down).
WTI NPS (network port 23)
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at 9600,8n1. Try
password "wti" if prompted.
Select /N - View/set network parameters, then set the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway.
Select /G - General paramters, then disable command confirmation, enable command echo, and
set disconnect timeout to the maximum value (30 minutes).
Set password to "wti".
CYCLADES PM8 and PM8i (serial 9600,8n1)
Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and serial port 9600,8n1. Press
enter, then authenticate with default account admin/pm8.
Run factory_defaults command.
The PM8 can run in a mode where it can be daisy chained from a Cyclades terminal server.
This mode is not yet supported by PowerMan.
Sun ILOM
The dedicated ILOM serial port (SER MGT RJ-45) runs at 9600,8n1 and the default login is
root/changeme. Use a Sun/NETRA/Cisco RJ45 adapter to connect to Cyclades TS.
The dedicated ILOM ethernet port (NET MGT RJ-45) can be configured for DHCP (the default)
or static IP settings. To configure static IP via the ILOM serial port, run:
cd /SP/network
set pendingipdiscovery=static
set pendingipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set pendingipnetmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set pendingipgateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set commitpending=true
The ILOM network configuration can alternatively be set up via the system BIOS setup
screen. Hit F2 during boot to access BIOS setup, go to the "Advanced" tab, select "IPMI
2.0 configuration" and "set LAN configuration". Make your changes and commit them.
IPMI (via Ipmipower)
IPMI based power control is supported via FreeIPMI's ipmipower. It is configured by
running ipmipower in coprocess mode in powerman.conf
Due to semantic differences between IPMI and traditional remote power control devices,
some power control operations may not seem to work properly by default with Powerman. For
example, several IPMI power control operations are allowed to return prior to the
operation fully completing. A machine that has been powered off by IPMI may be later
queried as being powered on. This is because IPMI may successfully return from a power
off operation to the user, but the machine may elect to power itself off at a later time.
In order to get around several of these issues, it is recommended that the user configure
ipmipower with the --wait-until-on and --wait-until-off options. With these options set,
ipmipower will behave more like traditional remote power control devices.
In order to hide IPMI usernames and passwords from ps(1), it is also recommended that the
user configure the username and password (and at your discretion, the above options) using
the FreeIPMI configuration file and not in the powerman.conf file. Please see the
ipmipower section of the freeipmi.conf(5) manpage for more information.
Because IPMI usernames and passwords are sensitive, the default FreeIPMI configuration
file is only readable and writable by root. This may conflict with the default powermand
daemon settings, thus making the configuration file non-readable. Administrators may wish
to run the powermand daemon as root or adjust the configuration file permissions as
needed.
HP iLO
The "hpilo" script supports the Integrated Lights-Out management processor in HP ProLiant
servers, including both rack-mount and blade servers. Configure the iLO to allow Telnet
access on port 23, and add a user "Admin" with password "Admin". You may have to reduce
the minimum password length on the Administration/Access/Options tab of the web interface.
HP MP
The "hpmp" script supports the Management Processor in HP non-cellular, rack-mount
Integrity servers. Configure the MP to allow Telnet access with the "CM:SA" command, and
make sure there's a user "Admin" with password "Admin". If the MP enforces a minimum
password length, you may have to use "uc -all default" to restore the default Admin/Admin
user.
HP MP (cellular)
The "hpmpcell" script supports the Management Processor in HP mid-range cellular servers.
Configure the MP to allow Telnet access with the "CM:SA" command, and make sure there's a
user "Admin" with password "Admin".
HP MP (Superdome)
The "hpmpdome" script supports the Management Processor in HP Superdome servers.
Configure the MP to allow Telnet access with the "CM:SA" command, and make sure there's a
user "Admin" with password "Admin".
HP MP (Integrity blades)
The "hpmpblade" script supports the Management Processor in HP Integrity blade servers.
Configure the MP to allow Telnet access with the "CM:SA" command, and make sure there's a
user "Admin" with password "Admin".
