Unknown iDrac problem #53

Closed ShowMeYourSkil closed 2 years ago

ShowMeYourSkil commented 2 years ago

Hi everyone In my Icinga I am monitoring an IDRAC server with an ipmi_check_sensor.

Since yesterday this check is set to unknown all CPU kernels are declared as unknown and I get the following error:

ipmi_fru_multirecord_power_supply_information: invalid parameters
ipmi_sdr_cache_iterate: error returned in callback

→ Execution of /usr/sbin/ipmi-fru failed with return code 1.
→ /usr/sbin/ipmi-fru was executed with the following parameters:
/usr/sbin/ipmi-fru -h IP-Address -u SNMP-USER -p SNMP-PASSWORD -l user --driver-type=LAN_2_0 -

I almost believe that the Dell API key has expired behind this, but unfortunately I have not found the config file where this is displayed. Can you help me with this problem?

Best regards

Hi,

I am not familiar with iDRAC kind of IPMI BMCs, but I am confident that for any IPMI communication, also for Dell, there is no API key involved at all.

I have seen occasions of similar problems with BMCs from different manufacturers, and with exception of one dead BMC it was always a fixable issue caused by either the system needed a reboot with full POST for the BMC to (re)detect all the hardware stati, or the BMC got confused and needed a reboot itself.

I'd try the latter first.

Best regards, // Veit

Hi, by now all my dell servers are affected by this problem. The icinga2 status is unknown the error is as mentioned above or not found.

As the problem is an invalid return code from ipmi-fru, can you try to run the plugin without "--fru"?
