Public bug reported:

Linux Virtual Machines deployed (with ppcle architecture), using IBM
PowerVM[1] Hypervisor on IBM Power System hosts, need an additional
component (referred to as RMC - Remote Management Console) to be
installed and successfully running on the VM. This RMC module/service
must be installed and functioning on a ppcle VM, for the PowerVM
Hypervisor to be able to communicate / manage these Virtual Machines.
When a VM boots, there are some basic set of steps(generation of unique
RMC node id; subsequent restart of the RMC service etc), that must be
performed on a ppcle VM, to ensure that the communication of the VM and
PowerVM Hypervisor is intact. RMC has to be active on the VM for the
hypervisor to be able to perform many operations successfully. Thus a
healthy RMC is a prerequisite for a PowerVM hypervisor based VM.

To enable the healthy functioning of RMC services on ppcle Linux based
VMs, there are couple of cloud-init config modules that we have been
maintaining downstream. As part of this LP bug, we would like to
upstream it, so that it benefits the larger community who is using
PowerVM based VMs.
