Observation¶

When calling ipmitool to administrate our o3/osd workers this commonly fails with errors like

Error in open session response message : no matching cipher suite

Steps to reproduce¶

podman run --rm -it registry.opensuse.org/home/okurz/container/containers/tumbleweed:ipmitool ipmitool -I lanplus -H openqaworker1-ipmi.suse.de -U $user -P $pass power status

Problem¶

This seems to happen for all openSUSE Leap 15.2 and openSUSE Tumbleweed installations, but not openSUSE Leap 15.1 or SLES15SP1 however the version of ipmitool itself seems to be the same. ipmitool -V returns 1.8.18 for me. But the build differs, e.g.

$ zypper --no-refresh info ipmitool
…
Version        : 1.8.18+git20200204.7ccea28-lp152.1.3

$ ssh login "zypper --no-refresh info ipmitool"
…
Version        : 1.8.18-7.3.1

Workaround¶

Use older versions of the ipmitool chain from either other machines or container
