How to Setup IPMI in XO

[Andrew]

@olivierlambert I would think HP servers would be a top tier for IPMI support.... please...

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 sensor from 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 ipmitool on 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 gen8

Then 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 check ipmitool 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?

[MajorP93]

@marcoi I found out what to enter for "vendor" by running "dmidecode -s system-product-name" on one of my XCP-ng hosts:

[15:45 xcpng01 ~]# dmidecode -s system-product-name
Super Server

//EDIT: in your case it looks like you should enter "To Be Filled By O.E.M." for vendor. Not "To Be Filled By O.E.M. (To Be Filled By O.E.M.)"

@MajorP93 said:

dmidecode -s system-product-name

that fixed it

@MajorP93 Nice job, i'm thinking about working on an api route to have those infos without needing to go to the server console
