Using IPMI agent

[richlv]

So i thougt maybe the IPMI tools were not correctly installed, but i install ipmitool and openipmi and still no result.

so they were not installed before ?
is zabbix server compiled with ipmi support ?
how many ipmi pollers are configured in the server config file ?

They were installed before.

Zabbix is compiled with IPMI support and i have 3 IPMI Pollers running.

I got caught out with IPMI today when I didn't realise the default number of pollers for IPMI is 0 even though --with-ipmi was built.

Although I haven't got the values working yet it is at least polling using Fedora 12, Zabbix 1.8.2 (revision 11096) and OpenIPMI.x86_64 2.0.16-4.fc12 and I do get error messages.

edit: Key power now works fine on a Dell SC1435 on the above server.

chassis.power.status didn't work though so i'll have to experiment with what I need to put into zabbix ipmi compared to what impitool will accept (ipmitool chassis power status -H <hostname> -U <user> -p 623 works for example).

This will be useful on ESX4i Dell's that don't do snmpget (i'm still working on traps) and the Dell servers that don't use full openmanage in the SC series.

IPMI is still not working on my zabbix installation (1.8.2).

Zabbix is compiled with openIPMI.
StartIPMIPollers=1 in zabbix_server.conf is set.
Querying with ipmitool is working fine.

But zabbix doesn't care...

Output of zabbix_server.log:

I cannot get IPMI to work in my installation as well. I have a server -> proxy -> agent configuration, and have enable IPMI with openipmi on both server and prxy, set IPMIPoller to 1 in both server and proxy and enabled IPMI on one host via the web interface. But the IPMI icon is still disabled and there's no trace of IPMI polling going on. No errors, no warnings, nothing. What should I check?

[richlv]

but did you add ipmi items to that host as well ?

This is a really good question
I'm stupid and I didn't think about that. Gonna create some IPMI items and I let you know

Hello to all , I've ipmi problem with our sunfire x4500 ilom version raging from 2.0.2.10 to 3.0.6.15.

I've recently upgraded to zabbix 1.8.2 , tried with openipmi 2.0.14 before and
openipmi 2.0.16 now, the zabbix platform running debian lenny x86.

On all host configured for ipmi I get "Cannot connect to IPMI host. Error 0x2000011 Unknown error 33554449"

StartIPMIPollers=3 in zabbix_server.conf and I'see ipmi pollers start in server's log.

ipmitool sensor -H x.x.x.x -L user -U <user> -P <pass> -p 623

Give me the right value

Any Ideas ???

[rocksteady]

If U need traffic dump or other info I can post more , nobody as idea how to solve it ???


PLSSSS

[rocksteady]

Bump

No one had that problem pls ???

[richlv]

and which sensor exactly are you trying to grab ?
remember that discrete sensors are not supported

[rocksteady]

I try to grab temperature sensors

MB/T_AMB0 | 50.000 | degrees C | ok | na | na | na | 79.000 | 81.000 | na

voltage sensors


MB/V_+1V5 | 1.490 | Volts | ok | 1.193 | 1.271 | na | na | 1.716 | 1.794

and fan ones

PS1/F0/TACH | 8704.000 | RPM | ok | na | na | na
| na | na | na


I investigate more with ipmi protocols and auth

ipmitool sensor -I lanplus -H host-ipmi -A md5 -L user -U ipmiuser -P xxxx -p 623

ipmitool sensor -I lan -H host-ipmi -A md5 -L user -U ipmiuser -P xxxx -p 623


and in any case from command line I can get the right value .


In the log file of zabbix's server I read

2245:20100531:104408.652 IPMI Host [host-ipmi]: first network error, wait for 15 seconds
2228:20100531:104434.179 IPMI Host [host-ipmi]: another network error, wait for 15 seconds
2228:20100531:104451.378 Disabling IPMI host [host-ipmi]


Tks

[rocksteady]

No news ???

[richlv]

have you set auth to md5 in zabbix configuration ?
did you recompile zabbix server after upgrading openipmi library ?

IPMI Errors

Hi,

I'm getting very similar problems.

The remote hardware I'm trying to monitor is from HP. Its ILOM has the latest firmware.

On the Zabbix Server, I am using Ubuntu 10.4 LTS with Zabbix 1.8.1 & libopenipmi 2.0.16. I have 3 IPMI pollers running.

ipmitool (lanplus) works great, and gives me results like this:

Temp 1 | 27.000 | degrees C | ok |

I am trying to monitor "Temp 1" in Zabbix, but I get a red IPMI icon with this error:

Error 0x2000001 Unknown error 33554433

Sometimes it changes to this error:

Error 0x2000004 Unknown error 33554436

What do these errors mean?

Thanks.
