[Ipmitool-devel] ipmi_chassis_status() - to static or not...

2008-02-15 Thread Hall, Eric R
All -

I am working on a library for ipmitool and I would like to be able to
use some commands from ipmi_chassis.c that are currently static int.
The function I am most interested in is ipmi_chassis_status().  However,
since it is a static, I cannot use it in my library.  Is there any
reason why the static keyword cannot be removed and its function
prototype added to the ipmi_chassis header?  I do not see any name space
issues and some basic testing has shown that removing the static keyword
does not impact ipmitool's functionality.  Does anyone have any thoughts
about this?

Thanks,
- Eric

Re: [Ipmitool-devel] BMC hangs

2008-04-24 Thread Hall, Eric R
Tomek -

The LCD screen interfaces to the BMC via I2C (IPMB connector).  If for
some [very bad] reason the BMC fails, the LAN and I2C interface will not
work.  The BMC should reset to a working state in the event of an error
unless when it's failing it's being held by something.

How is your network configured on the BMC's NIC?  Is there a lot of
traffic hitting the BMC?  How long does it take before the BMC fails to
respond since power on?  What are the last few items in the SEL log?
How many systems do you have and do they all have this problem?

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] BMC hangs

Hello,

I have one more problem with IPMI on my Intel
S5000PAL board: sometimes BMC seems to die.

Symptoms: no IPMI command execute available.

I have a Local Control Panel - that's a gadget
that allows to communicate with BMC via small LCD
screen and 4 panel buttons. And it says everywhere
(system monitor, SEL, etc):

  Message transmission incomplete

Nothing helps to such state but resetting BMC (unplug
the whole system from AC power for 1+ minute). Than
everything comes back to normal - I can issue IPMI
commands, I can view SEL, I can get to the console
via SOL (which feature I love particulary), etc.

That BMC hangs are critical form me, as I can
not do anything with the machine remotetly.
Unfortunetly Google returns nothing interesting
for search key Message transmission incomplete.

Any ideals?


PS. Yes, I have latest Intel BMC firmware v62 installed.

If you _actually_ want to use BIOS redirection you'll need to use Serial
Port B in the BIOS settings.  At least, that's the only port that is
supposed to be supported.  Once grub/Kernel/etc... loads, they can send
data to the correct serial port.

In IPMITool, the 'volatile bit rate' setting is for BIOS and the
non-volatile is for the OS.

Otherwise, use the raw 0x04 0x2a sensor number 0x00 to re-arm the sensor.

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] Resetting Intrusion detection flags..


Does anybody have insight on the workings of the Intrusion detect
flags with IPMI?

On SuperMicro machines, with SIMSO+ cards as wel as SIMSO-HTC card,
there is support for an 'intrusion detect' event: if one opens
the chassis, a switch will trigger which will set a flag.
Every time you reboot, the flag leaves an event in the event log.

This flag isn't self-resetting and I wonder how, with imitool,
I can reset it. I've successfully reset it using the SuperMicro
propietary tools (the GUI tool as well as ipmicli), but I can't
figure out how they do this.

I've looked at the IPMI 2.0 spec and found a 'Re-arm Sensor Events'
command (sensor device commands, Sensor/Event NetFn, command 0x2a),
which ipmitool 1.8.10 doesn't know about.
In fact, looking at ipmi_sdr.h, this command is skipped in the
enumaration of the sensor commands.

As an experiment, I sent raw commands ('raw 0x04 0x2a 0xaa 0x00')
which is understood and accepted by the IPMI module, but
still keeps the intrusion event flag active and doesn't reset it,
so I guess implementing this command in ipmitool would not solve
my problem.

Reading the archives and searching yields little info except
'use the linux tool' which I don't want to do.
I've tried reading the protocol but it's using RMCP+ and hence
the network traffic is encrypted.

There is little info about this and I'm probably overlooking something.
Please enlighten me.

Thanks,

Geert Jan

Re: [Ipmitool-devel] Happy New Year, Happy New ipmitool

2009-01-16 Thread Hall, Eric R
A 1 second interval on the firmware level is fairly heavy use.  You will not 
want that.  Anything less than about 2 minutes is a bit overkill for a small 
embedded system that shares its resources.

For what it does, IPMITool is probably the fastest In-band and OOB IPMI level 
tool you will find.  Most of what takes so long is establishing communication 
with the management controller.  There really is not much that can improve this 
as it is a limitation by the management controller.

RE: power monitoring every second.  Of course you'll see fluctuations; you are 
influencing that by making the MC work hard to poll the sensor, queue the data, 
send it though the communication interface, etc...  Long ago I tested systems 
like that and soon realized that the sampling caused a 40 - 60 watt increase in 
power usage (or error) versus sampling over a longer period of time.  I 
compared the results with an external watt hour meter.  There wasn't much of a 
difference between the longer sample period average and the real watt hour 
meter.

RE: daemon.  There is a bit of a security problem here.  You might want to read 
the IPMI spec. before taking this path.

My moot points anyway.  ;)

 Hi and Happy '09!

 To celebrate the New Year, I propose we start working on rolling
 ipmitool to v1.8.11 to include all the great fixes and patches folks
 have been sending in since last summer!  Do you have a fix you've been
 using in your local ipmitool version?  Send it in for review!  Do you
 have a patch or an idea for some new functionality or support you'd like
 to see get into the tool?  Send it in for review! 
Well you did ask, so here ya go...

I'm the author of collectl [see: http://collectl.sourceforge.net/], 
which is a tool for doing system monitoring.  A couple of the things I 
think that sets it apart from others is it's very light-weight and that 
it collects a very broad set of data, making it possible to drill down 
and see what the state of all your system resources are any point in time.

About 6 months ago I discovered ipmitool and now use it to monitor 
temps, fans and power though I could see adding other resources as 
well.  My own problem with ipmitool is that while it's pretty 
light-weight, it's not light-weight enough and so I had to give it its 
own monitoring interval - I monitor most things every 10 seconds when 
running as a daemon, though there are those who sample every 5 seconds 
or even 1.  I did some tests with ipmitool running at those frequencies 
and there was just too much system load compared to collectl proper 
which uses 0.1% and so I'm only sampling sensors every 2 minutes, which 
I thought at first was reasonable.

However since adding power sensor monitoring and watching the power 
every second, just to see what's happening over short bursts of time, I 
saw that sensor changes much more frequently than I thought it would.  
Given all the interest in green computing I can see where more frequent 
power monitoring would be a good thing.  I even went as far to see what 
it might take to query ipmi directly to save the overhead of running a 
new instance of ipmitool every sample period but I think I can now 
appreciate just how complex ipmi is and would prefer to continue to use 
ipmitool as it already does a great job.

So, as for an enhancement I'd like to see a way to run it at rates on 
the order of a few seconds and not incur a lot of overhead.  I'm basing 
this on my assumption that the bulk of ipmitool's time is spent on 
starting the image as well as establishing the internal communications 
connection(s).   If so, my logical conclusion would be there needs to be 
a way to do the initialization one time and not exit.  While I can think 
of a few ways to do it, and I think the first is probably the easiest, 
perhaps someone intimately familiar with ipmitool's innards such as 
yourself would have better ways:
- run it as a daemon, allowing it to receive commands over a socket and 
send the results back
- build some sort of library that could be called via something like 
perl, once call to initialize and a second to query, probably others...

In any event, if it turns out that sending/receiving the command to the 
sensors is where all the is spent and startup is less of a big deal, 
this whole discussion is moot.

Anyhow, you DID ask...  ;-)

I would verify that PSU.  I don't see a TDPS-600EB listed on Delta's
website
and the closest thing to it is the TDPS-600CB which does not look like it
has
the PSMI (four or five) wire connector.

A technical supporter of the vendor said that SR1690WBR - my server
model - contains a bridge between IPMB and PSMI.

But, he doesn't know the reason why BMC cannot recognize a power supply.



Thanks,

It may recognize the power supply but it does not mean there is an
electrical
bridge between the IPMB bus and PSMI bus.
Check with your vendor that bridging between the two buses is supported.

Hi,

I've attempted some possible solutions.
- updating BMC firmware (ver.: 0.57)
- updating BIOS
- reinstall IPMItool (ver. 1.8.11)

By any chance, may I need additional hardware connector for power supply?

During BIOSBMC firmware update, BMC didn't automatically detect any
power supply.
Thus, I manually checked 'yes' for 'SSI power supply'.
I also carried out a FRU/SDR package  update.

After these tries, BMC still recognizes a power supply.

  Thanks for your comments,
 
  In the last mail, I said that I have a SV7-2186. It isn't the model
  I
 have.
  My server is Intel SR1690WBR with a S5500WBV.
  I've checked some manuals and mailing lists.
 
  The problem of my server is that IPMI cannot detect a power supply.
