Manageiq: Unable to get information on IPMI Hosts.

[Boujemaa0]

Hi,
I'm having a problem with IPMI hosts. When I add an IPMI host, it doesn't get its power state or any other information related to it. I tried to perform a smart state analysis but in the logs I see the following error message:
MIQ(Host#scan) Error raising request scan event for Host name: [IPMI (x.x.x.x)], id: [1]: A group is needed to raise an event. [Host] id:[1] event_type: [request_host_scan]

Please get back to me ASAP.
Best Regards.

Hi Boujemaa0,

I think the first issue is related to ipmiping is not working. There are more details here: Discovering IPMI Hosts

The event error is fixed with PR #6464.

@Boujemaa0 If this is still an issue in Darga release, please re-open with details.

Hi!
Any movement on this ? Seems to still be an issue on Darga-3 release. Thanks

[root@myhost vmdb]# cat VERSION
darga-3

[root@myhost vmdb]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

[root@myhost vmdb]# /usr/sbin/ipmiping -c 1 IP_SCRUBBED
ipmiping: count argument invalid

@bdunne Do we need to open an issue to address the ipmiping error or is there a work-around we could use?

[marc-torres]

possible workaround suggestion (if you can get the return code to be preserved as 0 using 'timeout')

$ timeout --preserve-status 1 /usr/sbin/ipmiping $ip_add

@gmcculloug I was able to test the freeipmi v 1.5.1-2 on Fedora 24 and the ipmiping command accepts arguments there, I'll try to backport it to RHEL / CentOS 7.

@Boujemaa0 seems this issue may now be resolved. If so, can you please close.

IPMI is no longer supported, closing
