you should certainly have a DRAC in that machine. Look for the network port with a wrench below/above it. DRAC is similar to HP ILO or IBM MMI

You can use IPMI if the machine has it. That way you get a consistent method to get many errors from the machine.

Is there a way on Dell R320 (two power supplies and hardware RAID-1) on centos to get a message that a power supply is failing or that one of the hardware RAID disks is failing? Sure there is the front panel - but no-one is there ...

Is that reported to linux/centos some way? This is my first R320.

Thanks,

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,

jerry

I finally found what I needed...

ipmitool sdr type "Power Supply"

Gives me correct status for the dual power supply.
