Open IPMI didnt start

[mastraze]

Hi,
It s the first time that I am using OpenIPMI with zabbix.
Of course, when installing zabbix server, I had installed OpenIPMI with it.

When strating the daeom ipmievd : /etc/init.d/ipmievd open , it gives the following:

Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
Unable to open interface

I tried to run this ipmi command line:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.22.147 -U root -a chassis power status

and gives the following:

Password: 
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Unable to get Chassis Power Status

Of course the password is correct.

In addition the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf was configured as following:
StartIPMIPollers=4

Any Idea...thx in advance

What a Linux distribution? Maybe you make only this:
"mknod -m 0600 /dev/ipmi0 c 254 0"

I'm working on poweredge r210
I'm trying to follow these instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSDfc...eature=related
I set up every thing but still get this error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Unable to get Chassis Power Status

did you install ipmitools


try

apt-get install ipmitool

and then verify that you have access to your DRAC Controller . edit the network details as appropriate, then run it as root to set up a user for Zabbix to access IPMI on the management controller.
You may verify first using the available interface, usually either command line tools or web interface to allow access for the Zabbix user from the Zabbix server.

and then try

ipmitool -U zabbix -H <IP address of the IPMI host> -I lanplus -L user sensor


Good luck

Hey mastraze
I was having the same problem. To solve this I had to enable one option on the Idrac option.
The server that I am querying is PowerEdge R230, try the following
Login on Idrac go to network on iDRAC Settings and select/tick Enable IPMI Over LAN on IPMI Setting option and apply.
Basically, the server is not accepting the query because that option is blocking it.
After that test it again with the some command you are using or this one ipmitool -U zabbix -H <IP address of the IPMI host> -I lanplus -L user <username>

Hope this can help others users that may bump into this trouble.
