      After updating to XCP-ng 8.3 (March 2026), IPMI / iDRAC information fails in both XO5 stable and XO6 stable (built from sources).
      It is thrown a XENAPI_PLUGIN_FAILURE log line for failure of the "ipmitool lan print" which works fine on the (DELL) node(s).

      These are old PowerEdge R430 and R810 with iDRAC versions 6 and 8 and worked well before the upgrade, so I guess tihis may be due to a XAPI command failing.

      Worth mentioning for this nice-to have feature.

          Thanks for this report!

          Can you please check if just yum downgrade xcp-ng-xapi-plugins-0:1.12.0-1.xcpng8.3.noarch makes the plugin work again, and it does can you please provide the output of ipmitool lan print for both package versions?

            Actually, don't bother with the plugins, the regression comes from the ipmitool package. You can downgrade that one to get the functionality back, we're on it.

                So, it seems not an easy task downgrading due to dependencies. -Fixed some, but more coming up..
                Anyway, thanks for replying @yann. I will put it to rest and just wait a bit...

                  Downgrading just ipmitool should not cause dependency issues. Maybe you tried to apply my original suggestion of downgrading xcp-ng-xapi-plugins?
