How to Setup IPMI in XO

[Chr57]

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

nor HPE servers (yet...)

[Andrew]

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