BMC state not ready after add a new system #70

Closed victorwang-tw closed 2 years ago

victorwang-tw commented 2 years ago

Hi, I followed the steps in this tutorial. I started QEMU with the romulus-prime image, the obmcutil state command showed these:

root@romulus-prime:~# obmcutil state
CurrentBMCState     : xyz.openbmc_project.State.BMC.BMCState.NotReady
CurrentPowerState   : xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.PowerState.Off
CurrentHostState    : xyz.openbmc_project.State.Host.HostState.Off
BootProgress        : xyz.openbmc_project.State.Boot.Progress.ProgressStages.Unspecified
OperatingSystemState: xyz.openbmc_project.State.OperatingSystem.Status.OSStatus.Inactive

The original romulus build works fine, but if I use the romulus-prime build that modified conf files as the tutorial said, I got BMC state not ready. I know the tutorial is kind of outdated, but I'm not sure if I made some mistakes. Lastly, if journalctl output or other details are helpful, please let me know.

Thanks! Victor.

Update: The BMC state turns to ready after executing obmcutil poweron and obmcutil poweroff .

If the bmc isn't Ready that usually means that systemd hasn't reached the appropriate target. systemctl list-jobs is usually helpful to debug this.
