[Freeipmi-users] Processor 2 Presence: entity absent

2012-10-10 Thread Tiago Vasconcelos

Hi

I have installed freeipmi 1.2.1 on a Dell PowerEdge R415, where 
ipmimonitoring outputs the following Critical state:


48 | Processor 2 Presence | Entity Presence | Critical | 'Entity Absent'

The system is meant to have a single processor. So I don't want ipmi to 
complain about the absence of a second processor.


I have browsed the iDRAC interface but I couldn't find out how I can get 
rid of this Critical alert. Does anyone know?



Tiago

Hi Tiago,

I think the best option is to specify to ipmimonitoring the specific
sensors you don't want reported (-R).  This is easy if you're scripting
something.  If you're not, defaults can be configured
into /etc/freeipmi/freeipmi.conf so you don't have to type it every time
(note that the config would be through ipmi-sensors not ipmimonitoring.
ipmimonitoring is a script around ipmi-sensors).

A slightly more advanced option is to try and disable this sensor via
ipmi-sensors-config.  Advanced sensor configuration can be tricky and
motherboards don't always like it/work well with it b/c vendors
typically assume the user will never try to change their defaults.  This
latter option isn't one I recommend for more inexperienced folks.
