Re: [Freeipmi-users] getting internal IPMI error

2015-03-12 Thread Albert Chu

When FreeIPMI is doing it's communication w/ the BMC there's an error
pretty deep down causing grief.  Do you know what inband driver you are
using?

Is it posssible you have the situation described here?

http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/freeipmi-faq.html#Why-am-I-seeing-so-many-_0027internal-IPMI-error_0027-or-_0027driver-busy_0027-messages_003f

If not, we'd have to dig a little deeper.  Any chance you and download
the tar.gz off the website and build with

./configure --enable-debug --enable-trace

which can give us way more info.

 I ran the Nagios command manually and get the error after a few tries. I
 ran the freeipmi command that Nagios is running manually and got the
 error after a few tries. I turned on debug and after a few verbose

  Hi Andrew,
  
  If it's sporadic, I'm not that concerned, as it could be due to a busy
  system.
  
  If it happens very frequently, --debug output would be helpful.
  Although that'll lead to a lot of log output for Nagios.

Re: [Freeipmi-users] getting internal IPMI error

2015-03-11 Thread andrew

Hey, that might be it.

Although the servers are identical. I built them at different times so
they have different versions of CentOS:

 cat /etc/*release*
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
cpe:/o:centos:linux:6:GA


cat /etc/*release*
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
cpe:/o:centos:linux:6:GA


I could upgrade the older system to fix it. Would it still be helpful
for you if I download and install it as you asked or should I just
update?

Thanks,
Andrew

I'd just update.  This is a well known issue.  I know that Redhat
eventually backtracked on that change due to complaints.
