| James - I did the following...
| 
| yum install ipmitool
| modprobe ipmi_devintf
| ipmitool chassis status
| 
| and I got this below.
| 
| System Power         : on
| Power Overload       : false
| Power Interlock      : inactive
| Main Power Fault     : false
| Power Control Fault  : false
| Power Restore Policy : previous
| Last Power Event     :
| Chassis Intrusion    : inactive
| Front-Panel Lockout  : inactive
| Drive Fault          : false
| Cooling/Fan Fault    : false
| Sleep Button Disable : not allowed
| Diag Button Disable  : allowed
| Reset Button Disable : not allowed
| Power Button Disable : allowed
| Sleep Button Disabled: false
| Diag Button Disabled : true
| Reset Button Disabled: false
| Power Button Disabled: false
| 
| 
| Then I unplugged the power to 1 of the two supplies and waited for
| the "orange" display so
| the machine noticed the power fault. Then ran the command "ipmitool
| chassis status" again
| and got the same output. It was not reporting the power supply issue.
| 
| Is there something I am missing?
| 
| Thanks,
|
