BMC, iRMC and cluster node must belong to the same network segment.
If they do not belong to the same network segment, the IPMI shutdown agent does not operate properly.
To use the IPMI shutdown agent or the BLADE shutdown agent, also set the kdump shutdown agent.
If the kdump shutdown agent is not set, a node is forcibly stopped without collecting panic dumps.
The kdump shutdown agent is set with the panicinfo_setup command.
LAN interfaces of BMC and iRMC are exclusive to LAN.
LAN interfaces of BMC and iRMC used in the Shutdown Facility are exclusive to LAN. They cannot be used with the administrative LAN or cluster interconnects.
When using the IPMI shutdown agent, assign the iRMC user to the Administrator permission group.
Without the administrator authority, the IPMI shutdown agent will not work correctly.
