Description camorris@redhat.co 2020-09-07 17:50:54 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1873614 +++

Description of problem:
When using lanplus and forcing the cipher to be used we found that some nodes do not support Cipher Suite 17 in lanplus mode. It seems like in 16.0/8.1 the ipmitool version defaulted to C 3 but in 16.1/8.2 its defaulting to 17.  In the previous examples you can see I was using -l lan and not lanplus. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipmitool-1.8.18-14.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to inspect a node or run the correct ipmitool command

Actual results:
Fails

Expected results:
Inspection successful 

Additional info:

I peeled two from an existing OSP13 cluster to prep wider deployment. The two nodes import perfectly fine in 16.0 running on the same networks, but it fails in 16.1

RFE opened at the demand of  Dmitry Tantsur, see private comment #2 for more information

Comment 3 Dmitry Tantsur 2020-09-08 08:27:57 UTC
A small correction: it seems like cypher suites negotiation may fail for some hardware, so we need to be able to provide an exact suite to ironic.

Exception process was not followed for 16.1.3, the TRAC team recieved no proposal by email for this to be inlcuded in 16.1.3. The deadline was Oct 23rd. I'm removing the exception flag.
