The new panda chassis need their relays boards configured before bmm can interface with them.  Instructions are in mana: https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/IT/Power+Control+Relay+Board

I have configured:
panda-relay-{007-009}
and
panda-relay-{011-022}

panda-relay-010 is still not getting an IP address and will need further troubleshooting

panda-relay-010 and 009 had duplicate mac address in inventory/dhcp.  After this was fixed, i was able to config panda-relay-010 (or 009?)

034,036 and 037 are pinging and have been configured now

[Jake Watkins [:dividehex]]

panda-relay-{043-046} have been configured.
panda-relay-042 is not pinging

Comment 8

[Jake Watkins [:dividehex]]

panda-relay-042 is now configured along with panda-relay-{047-054}

Comment 9

[Amy Rich [:arr] [:arich]]

I've configured the following:

panda-relay-055
panda-relay-056
panda-relay-057
panda-relay-058
panda-relay-059
panda-relay-060

panda-relay-062

I will also configure panda-relay-061 as soon as it's pingable.

The directions did not say whether the boards should be using software or no flow control, and they came both ways.  I looked at panda-relay-040, and that one was set up to use software flow control, so that's what I set up these as.  Please update the documentation specifying what the configuration should be in the end.

The default password for the panda relays was not in the pw file as far as I could tell.  I tracked that down and added it.

Comment 11

[Amy Rich [:arr] [:arich]]

I've configured the following:

panda-relay-064
panda-relay-065
panda-relay-066
panda-relay-067
panda-relay-068
panda-relay-069
panda-relay-070
panda-relay-071
panda-relay-072
panda-relay-073
panda-relay-074
panda-relay-075
panda-relay-076
panda-relay-077
panda-relay-078

I was unable to configure panda-relay-063 since it is not up yet.

Comment 12

[Amy Rich [:arr] [:arich]]

panda-relay-065 is reachable and configured, but none of the boards attached to it seem to be power cycling (and none re pingable).  This will require more investigation.

Comment 13

[Jake Watkins [:dividehex]]

panda-relay-063.p8 looks like it was configured and panda-relay-065 is being tracked in bug 821239
