How to Setup IPMI in XO
-
@marcoi on xo side we use to show the ip of the ipmi and the sensor. We don't write anything nor use it for poweroff
-
Cool, thnx for the info!
-
So to understand it...
To get IPMI info from Supermicro;
Can the Host access the IPMI internally, or does it need to talk to it by the main NIC (sharing IPMI) or do I have to open FW access from the host to the dedicated IPMI interface?
In version 8.3, do I need to install any plugin, or should it work by itself? It isn't now.

Tested this and it worked;
[09:33 xcp-ng-01 ~]# ls /dev/ipmi* /dev/ipmi0 [09:33 xcp-ng-01 ~]# ipmitool sensor CPU Temp | 49.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 100.000 | na Inlet Temp | 24.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 50.000 | na System Temp | 27.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 85.000 | na Peripheral Temp | 35.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 85.000 | na CPU_VRM0 Temp | 41.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 100.000 | na CPU_VRM1 Temp | 32.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 100.000 | na SOC_VRM Temp | 38.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 100.000 | na VDDIO_VRM Temp | 31.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 100.000 | na DIMMA~F Temp | 37.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 85.000 | na DIMMG~L Temp | 38.000 | degrees C | ok | na | 5.000 | na | na | 85.000 | na MB 12V | 11.999 | Volts | ok | 10.151 | 10.319 | na | na | 13.259 | 13.427 MB 5VCC | 5.112 | Volts | ok | 4.482 | 4.482 | na | na | 5.490 | 5.490 MB 3.3VCC | 3.229 | Volts | ok | 2.952 | 2.952 | na -
Just to add more data.
Xen Orchestra, commit 56b17
Master, commit 56b17
All patches on host are done.the ipmitool works on my asrock MB but i dont see it in XO host screen.
I also didnt see it on xo6 interface.

Hi,
Each vendor got a different way to display their IPMI stats, so it needs a specific code in XO to display it. Sadly, it's not universal. There's no Asrock support yet.
-
-
Not yet, I think it's already planned, check https://feedback.vates.tech
-
no Asrock support yet
nor HPE servers
(yet...) -
@olivierlambert I would think HP servers would be a top tier for IPMI support.... please...

Go for https://feedback.vates.tech/ and create one and upvote then
We'll put it in the backlog. More votes = higher prio! -

I have two PE R630 and one PE R730xd. The two R630s show the IPMI data in XO but the R730xd does not. If I run
ipmitool sensorfrom an ssh session, I get very similar data back on the 730 and 630.This isn't critical to me, just letting you know that there are cases that functioning
ipmitoolon a Dell does not seem to be enough to show it.There are some differences in the labels. The R730 has "Fan1 RPM", "Fan2 RPM" while the R630 has "Fan1A", "Fan2A", "Fan1B". Most of the other interesting fields seem to have the same names but the order is a bit different and I didn't do an exhaustive comparison.
It's very cool that you are surfacing this data now.

@olivierlambert With the new IPMI plugin for XO I was hoping to see support for HP servers. But at least it seems I can add it to my installation and then post my results.
I added "hp" as a vendor and all of the plugin settings (if you leave it blank there is an error when saving).
But I still see no sensor data for the hosts in XO.
Any thoughts on what I should add? check? do? to make it work?
-
I found the first step. It's looking for the vendor as the whole name
proliant dl360p gen8Then I have a few working, and several that don't.
Works: Total Power, CPUs Temp, Fans Speed.

@Andrew Hi, i'm the one that made the plugin, the documentation is in progress. Meanwhile, can you post the result of running
ipmitool sdr list? You might find some leads as to which regexes should work for your particular host.
Also you can checkipmitool lan print(be carefull not to share ip's or sensitive info ). -
@All-Ki Thanks for your work on that plugin!
This is the ipmitool sdr list output on one of my Supermicro based XCP-ng hosts, how can I derive the correct plugin settings (regex) from that?

For my fellow Supermicro enjoyers: I was able to get the plugin to show some information.
Even if there are some parts missing it is better than nothing in my opinion.Go to settings --> plugins --> ipmi-sensors --> "+" --> Add --> Fill information and add the vendor string as well as the Sensor Reg Ex.
Hope this helps.
Best regards

i see the sensor info when i run ipmitool sensor on the server. So i took that info and put it into pluggin reg settings.
pluggin
my host shows OEM generic info as manufactor
So am I doing something wrong to get the general stuff working on asrock motherboard?
