Not sure about ipmitool, but ipmi-oem from freeipmi has this for Dell
systems:
ipmi-oem dell get-chassis-identify-status

Hello Andy,
I appreciate your quick response!
The systems I'm currently targeting are all Dell (C1100, C6220, and
R620) but I'd also want to be able to monitor a variety of HP servers
(DL360, DL185, BL460, & more) in this same way.
I was hoping not to have to parse the SEL but that's what I'll do if
that's my only option.
Thanks,

Subject: RE: [Ipmitool-devel] generic test for system component failure
Tim,
The 'system health light' will be different for each chassis vendor.
Which chassis vendor is this?
In any case, parsing the IPMI SEL (waiting for IPMI events) is the
surest way to detect faults on an IPMI-capable system. That's the
trigger for the firmware to turn on the system health light.

*Subject:* [Ipmitool-devel] generic test for system component failure
Hello list members!
I'm trying to come up with a generic Nagios script which can indicate
a failure condition for any of our systems.
We've come across a couple of different memory failures which resulted
in system failure that only turned on the system health light and
added an entry to the SEL.
Unfortunately, until field tech saw the light, we didn't have
anyindication of the failure because we didn't have a Nagios check in
place toalert us of those specific conditions.
What I'd like to be able to do is query the system to determine
whether or not the health light is active.
If there isn't a way to find out this information, I guess we're stuck
parsing SEL output.
I've looked through the ipmitool manpage and so far haven't found what
I need.
Thanks!
