Roy, That system has a Hot-Swap Controller (HSC) that has SDRs and FRU data on its IPMI MC, but those are addressed at slave address 0xC0 instead of 0x20 for the main BMC. This HSC MC can detect whether a slot has a drive inserted/present, removed, or unused, but it cannot know whether a drive is inserted & failed from the slot perspective, nor can it know about the RAID status. Below is what some sample sensors for the HSC look like: _ID_ SDR_Type_xx Sz Own Typ S_Num Sens_Description Hex & Interp Reading 0049 SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 02 SAS Drv 1 Stat = 00 d0 00 8e Ready 004a SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 03 SAS Drv 2 Stat = 00 d0 00 8e Ready 004b SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 04 SAS Drv 3 Stat = 00 d0 00 80 Unused 004c SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 09 SAS Drv 1 Pres = 00 d0 02 80 Present 004d SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 0a SAS Drv 2 Pres = 00 d0 02 80 Present 004e SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 0b SAS Drv 3 Pres = 00 d0 00 80 Unused [...] 0053 SDR IPMB 12 1b dev: 20 00 bf 07 01 Basbrd Mgmt Ctlr 0054 SDR IPMB 12 1b dev: c0 00 29 0f 01 SFP HotSwap Ctlr If you have trouble with this part, let us know what software you are using to read the sensors.
For drive/volume health you would need some other software. There is an Intel RAID Web Console that can be used remotely, or there is an SNMP subagent for enterprise management. See the platform CD that came with the server for that (or see intel.com for downloads).

What software did you use to try to talk to it? What did it print? Why do you think you can get the RAID controller status from the BMC (what do the docs say about it)? I don't know anything about this system, but people from Intel do subscribe to this list. So maybe you can get the info. -corey Roy Chan wrote: > Hello, > > On the Intel SR2500 Server Chasis + Intel S5000PAL Server board, the > built-in RAID/drive controller is connected to the BMC.
