Description Bob Fournier 2020-07-15 13:17:37 UTC

Description of problem:

For the workaround to ipmitool Cipher Suites issue [1] a change was made to Ironic so that Ironic did the IPMI retries by calling ipmitool for each retry, instead of letting ipmitool do the retry.  As part of this fix a min_command_interval of 1 was used.  This interval has been found to be too short for some BMCs and it results in IPMI failures. 

The fix should be to use the configured min_command_interval instead of 1.
