IPMI connection on RedHat 8 giving error 33554441 with Zabbix 6.0

[msmoritz]

I'm newly trying to implement some IPMI probes to gather power usage date from various vendors BMC, but when I added the "Chassis by IPMI" template to a test host, add the IPMI interface and set the username and password Macro fields at the host level, the connection is becoming disabled an shows error 33554441

I tried enabling DebugLevel=4, but there was too much information in the log for me to make sense of.

ipmitool can be used with the host to retrieve the sensor list. I've verified that OpenIPMI.x86_64, OpenIPMI-libs.x86)64 packages are installed using the RedHat repositories.


I have looked over the prior support forum and bug reports on IPMI functionality relating to Ubuntu/Debian, but all of those have a different error code, and seem to resolve when using crypt libraries. Using ldd, i can see that libOpenIPMI.so is linked against the libcrypt.so.1.1.1 library.

How can I get more information about the meaning of the error code 33554441? Is there something in particular I should be looking for in the DebugLevel 4 output? (this is on an active zabbix server with a few hundred hosts already configured)

thanks

at the risk of muddying the problem description, I started testing some other systems with IPMI and have the following behaviors and error codes:

* HPE iLO 4 interfaces on 2 hosts are working, no Macros are set for IPMI user or password at the host or template level

* HPE iLO 5 interfaces on 1 hosts is not working, with or with out IPMI_user and IPMI_password macros set. Error code 33554444. Already verified that IPMI is enabled in iLO settings.

* Dell iDRAC interfaces on 1 host is not working, with or with out IPMI_user and IPMI_password macros set Error code 33554442. Already verified that IPMI is enabled in iDRAC settings.

* Ampere BMC interface on 1 host does not work, with or with IPMI_user and IPMI_password macros set, Error code 33554441. Already verified that IPMI is enabled in BMC settings.

I want to go the IPMI probe route for consistency across my platforms, otherwise to get the info I want I have to add custom agent configuration on the Dell systems to use racadm (the iDRAC SNMP interface doesn't provide the data I need). The Ampere systems have a similar issue. the HPE's do provide the info I want over SNMP.
