At work I'm looking for a way to extend the monitoring capabilities of
RHEL5 running on a ProLiant DL380 G7 in a remote, lights-out facility.
I'm looking for a software API for its front panel hardware alarms. In
particular, I'm looking a way to monitor the status alarm LEDs for each
CPU's DIMMs.
I don't have access to a DL380 as I write this, but I believe dmidecode
will at least produce an inventory those components. Can it also be used
to interrogate individual components and get return codes? On the
SuperMicro H8DM8-2 serverboard here in The Back Room, I see one of the
decoded data elements for my installed DIMMs shows:
Error Information Handle: Not Provided
On my Lenovo W700 uberlaptop with non-ECC SODIMMs running Fedora 14,
dmidecode seems to provide a more complete answer:
Error Information Handle: No Error
Am I on the right track here? Or is there another tool I should be
using?
