Info
Canonical Metal-As-A-Service (MAAS) provisioning tool cannot control the power on of HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 servers using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) therefore causing server enlistment to fail when attempting an installation of Ubuntu 22.04. MAAS must be configured to use Redfish for power control.
Scope
Any HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 server.
Resolution
As a workaround, configure MAAS to use Redfish by performing the following steps:
After MAAS enlistment of the server, navigate to Machines-> Configuration Edit Power Configuration and select “Redfish.”
Enter the IP address of the target server HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6), in addition enter user and other system details. Save the changes.
Continue with Commissioning and Deployment.
This is targeted to be resolved in a future version of the HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6) firmware that will allow MAAS to use the MAAS default IPMI mode to control server power during OS deployment.
