Add a new ``[ipmi]use_ipmitool_retries`` option. When set to ``True`` and timing is supported by ipmitool, the number of retries and command interval will be passed to ipmitool so that ipmitool will do the retries. When set to ``False``, ironic will do the retries. The default is ``True``, so this will not change the current behaviour which is to have ipmitool do the retries when timing is supported. Setting to ``False`` will help with certain BMCs which do not support the Cipher Suites command. In this case ipmitool can take up to 10 seconds for each retry which results in a total time exceeding ``[ipmi]command_retry_timeout``.

Adds a new ``[ipmi]use_ipmitool_retries`` option. When set to
|
|
``True`` and timing is supported by ipmitool, the number of

retries and command interval will be passed to ipmitool so

|

|
|
issues:
|
|
- |
|
|
Some BMCs do not support the ``Channel Cipher Suites`` command
|
|
that newer versions of ipmitool use. These versions of
|
|
ipmitool will resend this command for each ipmitool retry,
|
|
resulting in long response times. Setting
|
|
``[ipmi]use_ipmitool_retries`` to ``false`` will avoid this
|
|
situation by implementing retries on the ironic level.
