Description Mike McCune 2016-08-08 16:48:41 UTC 
Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/host-configuration-guide/94-configuring-an-additional-network-interface#proc-Red_Hat_Satellite-Host_Configuration_Guide-Enabling_BMC_Power_Management-To_Enable_BMC_Power_Management_on_an_Existing_Capsule

Section Number and Name: 

Procedure 9.14. To Enable BMC Power Management on an Existing Capsule Server:

Describe the issue: 

we can now drive that configuration of the BMC feature entirely from the satellite-installer routine. This should instruct users to enable it via the following flags:

    --foreman-proxy-bmc           Enable BMC feature (default: false)
    --foreman-proxy-bmc-default-provider  BMC default provider. (default: "ipmitool")

eg:

# satellite-installer    --foreman-proxy-bmc=true --foreman-proxy-bmc-default-provider=ipmitool



Suggestions for improvement:

Assigning to Zac for review.

Zac - looks like we need to update the procedure to replace Step 1. and Step 2. with a single step that tells users to use the 'satellite-installer' command with the above two options.
