If you use the hw raid, you can easily manager your raid array with either ipssend cli or ServeRAID manager gui (both are downloadable from IBM support website)
Faultdetection sucks with that, but you can use ipmitool for that:
[root@on3-3550 ~]# ipmitool sdr|grep Drive Drive 1 Status | 0x01 | ok Drive 2 Status | 0x01 | ok Drive 3 Status | Not Readable | ns Drive 4 Status | Not Readable | ns [root@on3-3550 ~]#
I installed the OpenIPMI packages but when I run the above command I get the following:
(geppetto pts5) # ipmitool sdr Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory Get Device ID command failed Unable to open SDR for reading (geppetto pts6) # rpm -qa | grep -i ipmi OpenIPMI-libs-2.0.6-6.el5 OpenIPMI-2.0.6-6.el5 OpenIPMI-tools-2.0.6-6.el5 (geppetto pts6) # lsmod | grep -i ipmi (geppetto pts6) #
Is there something special that needs to be done to enable ipmitool? lsmod shows that none of the ipmi modules are loaded. Do I need some magic incantation in /etc/modules.conf or is there some other package I need?
the machine is an ibm X3655 with C5 installed on it.
