[Xymon] HP Ilo's

[Bakkies Gatvol]

I monitor hardware using


OpenIPMI-tools-2.0.16-11.el5_7.2
OpenIPMI-libs-2.0.16-11.el5_7.2
OpenIPMI-2.0.16-11.el5_7.2


basically I just look to see if there is *anything* in the log


### ipmitool -I open sel list
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
Get SEL Info command failed
### /etc/init.d/ipmi start
Starting ipmi drivers:                                     [  OK  ]
### ipmitool -I open sel list
   1 | 03/20/2012 | 23:41:52 | Memory #0x15 | Correctable ECC logging limit reached | Asserted

once the error has been seen I flush it from the log


for disks I use

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1514197 Oct 17 09:39 MegaCli-8.04.07-1.noarch.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1588725 Oct 17 09:39 Lib_Utils-1.00-09.noarch.rpm

Made me look at the script. It’s pretty simple, and I decided to break it out into separate tests. Took 5 minutes.



Looks like it requires these packages:

freeipmi.x86_64        1.2.1-7.el6      @base

ipmitool.x86_64        1.8.15-2.el6     @base

ipmiutil.x86_64        3.0.1-1.el6      @epel





Not sure if it will work with ILO2. I’m pretty sure the oldest ILOs   I have now is ILO-3.



I could dig out some old scripts I used with ILO-2. That was with the ILO perl module, if I remember right.



Anyway, I put this script in ext

[IPMI]

        ENVFILE /usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg

        NEEDS xymond

        CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/ipmi-test.sh

        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/ipmi.log

        INTERVAL 5m





Then have IPMI in the comment section of the hosts.cfg.



Finally, you need a ~xymon/.impipass file with a 3-tuple for each server – hostname user and password



Host:user:pass

I am interested in what you built. I have a few dl 380’s and the C7000 platforms the application vendor has some on the platform and not all the HP defaults are as expected. I had the same experience as you with Devmon for this product.

I have some old Ilo2’s and starting to get Ilo 4s .



Is what you are using posted? Would you share? 😊

I used to do some Devmon with it, but we never got what we wanted out of it.



We also used the perl ILO module, but things changed a year or so ago, and I couldn’t get it working again.



I ended up writing a perl script using IPMI and I get what I need, in one test. Chassis, fans, memory, disk, and temperature.



Obviously, it could be broken out into their own tests if  wanted.

Fellow xymoners, anyone monitoring HP Ilo’s? just wondering if you are using Devmon or some other script. Looking for samples and comments.



Thanks.
