IPMI error: Authentication type NONE not supported

[beeloo]

Hi,

I'm try to test the IPMI for HP ProLiant DL380 G6. It is using the iLO2 and the firmware version is 2.05.

Configured the user and enable IPMI over LAN.

But when I try to access it from Zabbix Server, I received the below error:

ipmitool -H 10.10.10.1 -U zabbix sdr

Authentication type NONE not supported
Authentication type NONE not supported
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Get Device ID command failed
Unable to open SDR for reading

Please advise.

Thank you.

I had the same problemin trying to test it using the IPMItool.

However, it works from Zabbix.

Hi Zaniwoop,

What do you mean work from Zabbix? How do you make it to work?? Could you please let me know?

[beeloo]

I issued the ipmitool command from the zabbix server itself and received above error.

[Zaniwoop]

below is an example of an IPMI Item and the configuration of the host.

Thank you.

Btw, anyone knows how to fix this issue by running the ipmitool?

I have the same problem.
I have got HP ProLiant BL460c G1 server. iLO 2 Firmware Version: 2.05.
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE

When I entered:
ipmitool -I lan -A MD5 -U admin -P 12345678 -H 192.168.10.20 sensor

It told me:

Authentication type MD5 not supported
Authentication type MD5 not supported
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Get Device ID command failed
Unable to open SDR for reading

But if I do it on my Windows laptop everything is OK!
I use >ipmiutil.exe!

Does anybody know how ipmitool must work?
How Zabbix use ipmitool?
I added IPMI host to my Zabbix server and it does not work!

In zabbix_server.log file nothting about ipmi!

zzz# cat /tmp/zabbix_server.log | grep ipmi
zzz#

[Catfish]

I tried to use example wich I seen on http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/manpage.html
But it used passfile.
Does somebody know format of passfile?
Maybe it will help?

[Catfish]

It works!
correctly request must be:
ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P 12345678 -H 192.168.10.20 sensor

HP proliant servers use IMPI v2.0!!!
That's why ipmitool must use lanplus.

Thanks Catfish! It works!
