Hi all, Christian - a user of the IPMI plugin for Nagios/Icinga - has an Intel SE7210TP1-E board. When he wants to query sensors locally he gets errors:
>> # ipmi-locate >> ... >> >> Probing SSIF device using DMIDECODE... done >> IPMI Version: 1.5 >> IPMI locate driver: DMIDECODE >> IPMI interface: SSIF >> BMC driver device: /dev/i2c-0 >> BMC SMBUS slave address: 0x42 >> Register spacing: 1 >> >> ... >> >> Probing SSIF device using SMBIOS... done >> IPMI Version: 1.5 >> IPMI locate driver: SMBIOS >> IPMI interface: SSIF >> BMC driver device: /dev/i2c-0 >> BMC SMBUS slave address: 0x84 >> Register spacing: 1 When he wants to query sensors: >> Caching SDR repository information: >> /root/.freeipmi/sdr-cache/sdr-cache-loki.localhost >> ipmi_sdr_cache_create: internal IPMI error Here is some debugging info with FreeIPMI 1.0.1: # bmc-info --debug ===================================================== Get Device ID Request ===================================================== KCS Header: ------------ [ 0h] = lun[ 2b] [ 6h] = net_fn[ 6b] IPMI Command Data: ------------------ [ 1h] = cmd[ 8b] ipmi_cmd_get_device_id: driver timeout # ipmi-sel --debug Caching SDR repository information: /root/.freeipmi/sdr-cache/sdr-cache-loki.localhost ===================================================== Get SDR Repository Info Request ===================================================== KCS Header: ------------ [ 0h] = lun[ 2b] [ Ah] = net_fn[ 6b] IPMI Command Data: ------------------ [ 20h] = cmd[ 8b] ipmi_sdr_cache_create: internal IPMI error With an older kernel (2.6.32 or so...) ipmitool can query sensors of this board with the ipmi_smb module (ipmi_smb see http://sourceforge.net/projects/openipmi/ - unfortunately only until kernel version 2.6.35 - 2.6.36 and later don't seem to have it) # modprobe ipmi_smb # dmesg [ 106.836982] IPMI SMB Interface driver [ 106.836989] ipmi_smb: DMI specifies SSIF @ 0x42 [ 106.972020] ipmi_smb: Error fetching SSIF: 0 3 c1, your system probably doesn't support this command so using defaults [ 107.544126] ipmi_smb 0-0042: Found new BMC (man_id: 0x000322, prod_id: 0x4311, dev_id: 0x20) # ipmitool -I open sensor Baseboard 1.5V | 1.521 | Volts | ok | na | 1.352 | 1.378 | 1.625 | 1.651 | na ... Is there any way that he can queries his sensors locally with FreeIPMI?
