For example, use ipmitool like so:
ipmitool -I lan -H ip.ad.dre.ss -U user -P passwd -L USER sdr type "Drive Slot / Bay" I can get results like this: Drive | 80h | ok | 26.1 | Drive Present But the response seems to differ between different server models. And some does not even change value when one disk is removed.
