IPMI Info Outlet Air temp missing.

acebmxer

I know most work is being put towards v6 but just wanted to thought this out there...

XOA not reporting outlet temp those idrac shows outlet air temp. Also not sure what the update frequency of these items are every 10 sec, 30 secs? On page load?

It's very likely the info isn't visible via the plugin. Check the output of the following command:

xe host-call-plugin host-uuid=<uuid> plugin=ipmitool.py fn=get_all_sensors

@olivierlambert

When i do a search for outlet i dont see any in the output below.

So that's the reason. The ipmi command isn't returning the data, there's nothing we can do on XO side.

@olivierlambert

ok. was worth a look. Thank anyway

@olivierlambert @acebmxer There’s readings for temperatures for outlets, connected to PSUs, especially in enterprise servers and/or workstations. It may not cover other outlets, but giving the ones going out through PSU may give some idea.

Having Datacenter edition helps, if Dell iDRAC. Even better is using Redfish especially with same edition!

The reason being as editions below Datacenter on Dell iDRAC have masking on subsets of the SDR sensor records, the highest edition unlocks the full SDR dataset.

The server i pulled info from was Dell r660 idrac 9 Enterprise.... My other servers are Dell r640s all have idrac 9 enterprise.

My other hosts are older

That’s why the outlet temperature didn’t show, the edition isn’t high enough - see my linked PDF on the above, post. Without the Datacenter edition of iDRAC you’ll lose access to the full IPMI SDR sensor records, so won’t be available to the ipmi tool, thus the ipmi xapi plugin!

john.c

@olivierlambert Worth having a word with Dell following checking, if IPMI can read under Dell the iDRAC edition, as this will affect readings reported by ipmi.

john.c

@acebmxer I’m sorry to say that if those Dells are at your workplace, the wrong edition of iDRAC was purchased. You see with at the very least iDRAC 9 access to the full granular IPMI sensor data, was placed behind an edition paywall by Dell Technologies. Outlet temperature is just one of the feeds, missing from the Enterprise or lower edition of iDRAC 9. You’ll get the temperature readings from the Dell iDRAC web browser based interface, but not IPMI with iDRAC 9 Enterprise.

To obtain the full IPMI sensor data you need the Datacenter edition.
