Connect To ILO 4

[Redblockmasteur]

Hi, Thanks for the works, i connected my IDRAC of my dell R530 and it work great, however when i try to connect to my PH ILO, it fails. Logs from the plugin logs from ilo says that it had a login and a logout. I tried and recommend this tool IPMI Browser and I had to select a cipher other wise it wont work but when the first one is selected the tool manage to grab the info from the IPMI wihtout any problem.

What would be a correct ipmitool synthax to connect to your server? I'm trying to figure out what is missing.

[Redblockmasteur]

So i'm able to connect via this command ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.1.25 -U Administrator sdr Then i'm prompted for my pswd, i think it would work with -P. Since it's not the same command from what i seen the the log it may be an option

[Redblockmasteur]

Update. I have done some testing and yes it seems that not using the -I lanplus flag create an auth failure

[ateodorescu]

That's strange because inside the addon I run commands with -I lanplus first and if this one fails then I try -I lan or -I imb and last one -I open. So, lanplus is added to the commands first. Basically I'm trying different values for the interface param so that the user doesn't provide it but I always start with lanplus because it's the most common one. The following commands are executed to fetch data from the server: bmc info, fru, chassis power status, dcmi power reading, sdr type temperature, sdr type voltage, sdr type fan.

What does it display when running ipmitool -H 192.168.1.25 -p 623 -U Administrator -P insertPswdHere -I lanplus bmc info?

[Redblockmasteur]

I ran the command and it returned something.

I think I figured out the missing bit. When I try with the fru command, I end up with this error:

{"success":false,"output":"Error occurred when running \u0022ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.10.10.25 -U ipmi -P testpass fru\u0022.\nUnable to Get Channel Cipher Suites\n"}

All the other commands listed return data. The fru command when run natively from command line on my server returns:

Also IPMI against HP servers is really slow vs supermicro. Most of the calls take around 7-9 seconds to return. Are we hitting some sort of timeout, and the error return is a result?

Suggestions on how I can debug this?

[Redblockmasteur]

I dont know but in the end i used HA build int ILO integration but it broke with 2024.2

[xbeaudouin]

Hello, I have an HP MicroServer Gen 8 as well and I have also the problem. I am trying to burst the issue on my side but it seems to timeout when adding the server.

All commands works... Except maybe:

$ ipmitool -H 192.0.2.1 -U user -P pass -I lanplus dcmi power reading

    DCMI request failed because: Command not supported in present state (d5)

I don't know very well PHP, maybe there is some exception on dcmi power reading ?

[ateodorescu]

dcmi power reading is not working on all servers. For example on my server it runs but returns this So, the addon will run the command and if it returns anything then the values will be extracted but if it fails nothing is extracted. How long does it take for the command sdr list full to run?

[xbeaudouin]

Well it is pretty fast:

I think the command timeout somewhere... or the process dies... for some reasons.

Do you use last versions of both ipmi integration and addon?

[xbeaudouin]

Yeah. Ipmitool addon is 1.2.6... I just saw 1.2.9 of https://github.com/ateodorescu/home-assistant-addons/blob/main/ipmi-server/config.yaml, let's try to upgrade... Brb

[ateodorescu]

Yeah. Ipmitool addon is 1.2.6... I just saw 1.2.9 of https://github.com/ateodorescu/home-assistant-addons/blob/main/ipmi-server/config.yaml, let's try to upgrade... Brb

Hope that the last one will fix your problems.

[xbeaudouin]

Okay... On the begining it doesn't works. Then after tinkering I say http://hassserver:9695/command?params= works. So I remove http://localhost from the control panel whan adding host and it works !. Very strange.... only on this HP I have such issue...

[ateodorescu]

I assume we can close the issue now.
