Registering nodes to overcloud Ironic fails with ipmitool error

[Steven Hardy]

Following these docs https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-docs/latest/install/advanced_deployment/baremetal_overcloud.html

I hit this problem:

(overcloud) [stack@undercloud tripleo-heat-templates]$ openstack baremetal create ~/openshift_nodes.json
During resources creation, the following error(s) were encountered:
Unable to create the node with the specified attributes: {u'properties': {u'memory_mb': u'8192', u'cpu_arch': u'x86_64', u'local_gb': u'50', u'cpus': u'2'}, u'driver': u'ipmi', u'ports': [{u'address': u'00:8a:7b:25:d5:f7'}], u'driver_info': {u'ipmi_port': u'6232', u'ipmi_address': u'192.168.24.1', u'ipmi_username': u'admin', u'ipmi_password': u'password'}, u'name': u'openshift-master-0'}. The error is: Driver, hardware type or interface IPMIManagement could not be loaded. Reason: Unable to locate usable ipmitool command in the system path when checking ipmitool version. (HTTP 500)

Note that you're checking the the 'ipmitool' utility is present on the undercloud node, while it has to be present in the ironic-conductor containers on the overcloud.
