      @marcoi said in How to Setup IPMI in XO:

      curious how does this work, dont you need to put in a username and password/IP address for ipmi details. I havent looked at docs or tried this out, just wondering. I think on ESXI i had to setup the ipmi with such details before i could issue power on etc.

      I am also curious, since I asume authentication would be required before you're allowed to read or write data from iDRAC, we have a read-only "statsuser" to poll from iDRAC with Observium.

      But maybe there is some kind of "special" integrated pass-through authentication done since the ipmitool is being executed from the same host.

        Indeed, there's no login, we just call ipmitool from the Dom0. I'm not aware of any write access from there.

          @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

              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;

                /dev/ipmi0

                    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.

                      Is ipmi data supposed to show in v6 on support systems or not yet. I dont see ipmi data for my dell servers at work in v6 only v5.
