IPMI frustrations

[Zaniwoop]

I am trying to use IPMI to read system information, with limited sucess.

The servers in question are HP ProLiant DLxxx series.

if I use the IPMI key "Temp 1", I get results, so the IPMI is working.
If I use ithe IPMI key "Power Supply 1", I get an unsupported response.

if I look at the logs, I get the following.

Item [Server:Power[1]] error: Sensor or control Power Supply 1@[10.10.10.10]:623 does not exist

If I use the command line:

 ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.10.10.10 -U user -P 'password' -L user sensor get 'Power Supply 1'

I get a valid response

Locating sensor record...
Sensor ID              : Power Supply 1 (0x6)
 Entity ID             : 10.1
 Sensor Type (Analog)  : Power Supply
 Sensor Reading        : 95 (+/- 0) Watts
 Status                : Lower Non-Critical
 Lower Non-Recoverable : na
 Lower Critical        : na
 Lower Non-Critical    : na
 Upper Non-Critical    : na
 Upper Critical        : na
 Upper Non-Recoverable : na

Anyone know the magic answer to this?

Ipmi

Wow! You get that far?

Sorry I can't help just yet, but I am trying to do the same thing. All I get is "cannot connect to IPMI host". It would be interesting to know how you got as far as you have.

Maybe if I too can get that far, then I can be of some help...?

Zaniwoop,

I will need to do the same thing, but, how did you get the items configured? Can you send me any info about that? I cant connect and receive data with ipmitool, but, I dont know how to check the same data using Zabbix (I dont know how to setup the host item)...
