          Hi!

          It's not packaged yet in XCP-ng 8.3, but you can get it from https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-xapi-plugins/blob/gtn_add_ipmitool_plugin/SOURCES/etc/xapi.d/plugins/ipmitool.py and copy the file as /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ipmitool.py.

            Hi,

            I have just copy the ipmitool on my two hosts but no changes.
            Is there nothing else to do?

            I have reboot the host and XOA.

            Thanks.

              @Dezerd What does sha256sum /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ipmitool.py report?

                  The checksum is valid. Pinging @gthvn1 who worked on this plugin.

                    I don't know exactly how it is used in XOA but it looks like it has been merged last week in XO(see https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/8144) and I know that Cecile tested it on her setup. So maybe there is a mismatch with the version of XOA you are using?
                    Otherwise from the point of view of xcp-ng you just need to copy the python file in /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ and there is nothing else to do.

                    MathieuRA opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

                    closed feat(xo-server,xo-web/host): replace 2crsi-plugin.py -> ipmitool.py #8144

                      @MathieuRA can you check if we are maybe too strict with the model? Or if we are missing something in that case.

                          Hi.
                          The IPMI plugin is only used to display hardware information if you are using mona_1.44gg.

                          To display if a BIOS update is available, we mainly fetch this endpoint: https://pictures.2cr.si/Images_site_web_Odoo/Pages_produit/VATES-BIOS_BMC_last-version.json

                          Does your host have access to this endpoint?
                          What is the ouput of xo-cli host.getBiosInfo id=<host-id>

                            Hi,

                            The output is "True".
                            My two hosts have acces to the json script.

                            Sans titre.png

                            My servers are not 1.44gg but 1.4SR which is clearly visible in the script output (by the way, there's an error -> there is an extra "_" at the end of the last URL)

                            Is it possible to modify the script to work with the 1.4SR model?

                            Thank's

                              Good catch for the extra underscore, it will be fixed, BTW xo-cli should not return true. In your host's Advanced tab, what is shown in Manufacturer Information and BIOS Information?

                                  Well, the problem is here then.
                                  The XAPI reports NULL (NULL) so XO can't compare your bios version and display if it is up to date or not.

                                  @olivierlambert Do you know why there is no value here?

                                    @MathieuRA I think, i found a problem.
                                    I have just check the Bios version during the boot of my host.
                                    The Product Name is also NULL

                                    IMG_20241212_114710_988.jpg

                                    It seems to be a factory configuration problem (2CRSI)

                                    What type of information do I need to find in the product name (or Manufacturer Info on XOA) ? Just Server model?

                                      I think they provided a fix in a recent BIOS, but it's a catch-22 since they sold you the server with the BIOS version before the fix, so you can't have the info displayed in XO to tell you to update the BIOS 😄

                                        Ahah ok, it's fun!
                                        I need to find the procedure for the update and I'll let you know.

                                        Thanks!

                                          Hey,

                                          We have update the Bios to the latest version.
                                          alt text

                                          There is a new problem.. We cannot boot now.
                                          The boot device 'XCP-NG' is missing
                                          alt text

                                          There doesn't seem to be any problem detecting disks in the BIOS (or clusters).

                                          alt text

                                          Do you know this problem ?
                                          2CRSI support seems to say that the only solution is a reinstallation

                                          Thanks and happy New Year

                                            I'm not aware of this problem, have you changed the mode (BIOS vs UEFI) after BIOS update? I think we already tested a BIOS update and it worked well. Let me ping @AtaxyaNetwork about this.
