How to Setup IPMI in XO

olivierlambert

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

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;

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.

@olivierlambert

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.

olivierlambert

Not yet, I think it's already planned, check https://feedback.vates.tech
