currently Qlustar/QluMan just configures the IPMI interface's IP automatically and registers it including its hostname (<node>-ipmi per default) with NIS. For power control you have two options:
a) Just use ipmipower from the cmd line. b) Create a custom command with the RXEngine, e.g.
Example command to be entered in the command editor (substitute <user>/<pwd>):
--------------------------------------------------------- hostlist="$(hostlist-expand %1)" for host in $hostlist; do ipmipower -h $host-ipmi -u $<user> -p <pwd> --cycle done ---------------------------------------------------------
Make sure you select 'Headnode' as the 'Execute on:' option.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Roland
