Hello, I wish this maillist is the right place to ask... Sorry I haven't found any user or support maillist related.
Actually I was trying to make BMC sending alerts over LAN to a snmptrapd host. According to Figure 17-2, Event Filter, Alert Policy, and Alert Destination, & String Relationships from IPMIv2_0rev1_0.pdf, the related BMC configuration should be those for event filter table, alert policy table, and lan settings. I found the event filter table (pef) was already populated(see ipmitool pef list). Then I configured lan settings by "ipmitool lan alert set <channel> <destination> <param> <value>". Anyway, I failed to find any means to set alert policy, which in my case is empty. That might be the problem, I blindly generated a test event by "ipmitool event 1" and get no packets except ARP ones on snmptrapd host. Any advice? The configuration directives: # ipmitool lan alert set 1 0 ipaddr 1.2.3.4 # snmptrapd host # ipmitool lan alert set 1 0 gateway # configured. and snmptrapd is in the same segment 1.2.3.x # ipmitool lan alert set 1 0 ack on # ipmitool lan alert set 1 0 type pet # ipmitool lan alert set 1 0 time # ipmitool lan alert print Alert Destination : 0 Alert Acknowledge : Unacknowledged Destination Type : PET Trap Retry Interval : 0 Number of Retries : 4 Alert Gateway : Default Alert IP Address : 1.2.3.4 Alert MAC Address : 00:00:00:00:00:00 # ipmitool lan print Set in Progress : Set Complete Auth Type Support : NONE MD2 MD5 PASSWORD Auth Type Enable : Callback : MD2 MD5 : User : MD2 MD5 : Operator : MD2 MD5 : Admin : MD2 MD5 : OEM : IP Address Source : Static Address IP Address : 1.2.3.5 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 MAC Address : xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx SNMP Community String : public IP Header : TTL=0x40 Flags=0x40 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x10 Default Gateway IP : 1.2.3.6 Default Gateway MAC : 00:00:00:00:00:00 Backup Gateway IP : 0.0.0.0 Backup Gateway MAC : 00:00:00:00:00:00 802.1q VLAN ID : Disabled 802.1q VLAN Priority : 0 RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Cipher Suite Priv Max : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa : X=Cipher Suite Unused : c=CALLBACK : u=USER : o=OPERATOR : a=ADMIN : O=OEM # ipmitool pef list 1 | active | 0x11 | Fan | Any | Critical | Threshold | (0x01/0x0004),<LC | Alert | 1 2 | active | 0x11 | Fan | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 3 | active | 0x11 | Battery | Any | Warning | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 4 | active | 0x11 | Battery | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 5 | active | 0x11 | Battery | Any | Critical | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 6 | active | 0x11 | Battery | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 7 | active | 0x11 | Voltage | Any | OK | Discrete | (0x03/0x0001),state deasserted | Alert | 1 8 | active | 0x11 | Voltage | Any | Critical | Discrete | (0x03/0x0002),state asserted | Alert | 1 9 | active | 0x11 | Temperature | Any | Warning | Threshold | (0x01/0x0081),<LNC,<UNC | Alert | 1 10 | active | 0x11 | Temperature | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 11 | active | 0x11 | Temperature | Any | Critical | Threshold | (0x01/0x0204),<LC,<UC | Alert | 1 12 | active | 0x11 | Temperature | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 13 | active | 0x11 | Chassis Intrusion | Any | Critical | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 14 | active | 0x11 | Chassis Intrusion | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 15 | active | 0x11 | Any | Any | Warning | Discrete | (0x0b/0x0004),redundancy degraded | Alert | 1 16 | active | 0x11 | Any | Any | Critical | Discrete | (0x0b/0x0002),redundancy lost | Alert | 1 17 | active | 0x11 | Any | Any | OK | Discrete | (0x0b/0x0001),fully redundant | Alert | 1 18 | active | 0x11 | Processor | Any | Warning | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 19 | active | 0x11 | Processor | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 20 | active | 0x11 | Processor | Any | Critical | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 21 | active | 0x11 | Processor | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 22 | active | 0x11 | Processor | Any | OK | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 23 | active | 0x11 | Processor | Any | Critical | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 24 | active | 0x11 | Power supply | Any | Warning | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 25 | active | 0x11 | Power supply | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 26 | active | 0x11 | Power supply | Any | Critical | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 27 | active | 0x11 | Power supply | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 28 | active | 0x11 | Power supply | Any | OK | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 29 | active | 0x11 | Power supply | Any | Critical | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 30 | active | 0x11 | Logging disabled | Any | Critical | Discrete | Sensor-specific | Alert | 1 31 | active | 0x11 | Watchdog 2 | Any | Critical | Discrete | Any | Alert | 1 32 | active | 0x11 | Current | Any | Warning | Threshold | (0x01/0x0081),<LNC,<UNC | Alert | 1 33 | active | 0x11 | Current | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 34 | active | 0x11 | Current | Any | Critical | Threshold | (0x01/0x0204),<LC,<UC | Alert | 1 35 | active | 0x11 | Current | Any | OK | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 36 | active | 0x11 | Module/board | Any | Information | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 37 | active | 0x11 | Module/board | Any | Information | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 38 | active | 0x11 | Module/board | Any | Critical | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 39 | active | 0x11 | Module/board | Any | Warning | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 40 | active | 0x11 | None | Any | Critical | OEM | OEM | Alert | 1 # ipmitool pef policy <it's empty..> # ipmitool -v pef info Discovered local IPMB address 0x20 Version : 0x51 PEF table size : 40 Alert policy table size : 8 System GUID : .......
