Description of problem: delloem command relies on specific hw and there is no way how to find if I am using such a hw. Then its possible to use 50% commands successfully from delloem and the rest of commands return error like 'Unknown (0x80)' I would like to see something like: 'ipmitool delloem checkhw' which returns true or false Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipmitool-1.8.11-7.el6.x86_64 OpenIPMI-2.0.16-12.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: find a hw which don't fully support delloem, like dell-per805 Steps to Reproduce: [root@dell-per805-01 ~]# /etc/init.d/ipmi restart Stopping all ipmi drivers: may be in use[FAILED] Starting ipmi drivers: [ OK ] [root@dell-per805-01 ~]# /etc/init.d/ipmievd restart Shutting down ipmievd:[ OK ] Starting ipmievd:[ OK ] # try delloem commands some of them works: # ipmitool delloem powermonitor Power Tracking Statistics Statistic : Cumulative Energy Consumption Start Time : Thu Apr 21 08:17:11 2011 Finish Time : Thu Apr 21 08:35:28 2011 Reading : 184.1 kWh Statistic : System Peak Power Start Time : Thu Apr 21 08:16:59 2011 Peak Time : Thu Apr 21 08:21:29 2011 Peak Reading : 121 W Statistic : System Peak Amperage Start Time : Thu Apr 21 08:16:59 2011 Peak Time : Thu Apr 21 08:16:59 2011 Peak Reading : 0.6 A and some of them not: [root@dell-per805-01 ~]# ipmitool delloem powermonitor getpowerbudget Error getting power cap: Unknown (0x80) [root@dell-per805-01 ~]# ipmitool delloem powermonitor disablepowercap Error getting powercap statusr: Invalid command Can not set powercap on this system Actual results: some of the delloem does not work Expected results: how to be sure that hw is fully supported add support for another hw, like dell-per805 I would like to see something like: 'ipmitool delloem checkhw' which returns true or false Additional info:
Adding Dell.
I am afraid we don`t have a command that can give this information. The commands such as "ipmitool delloem powermonitor getpowerbudget" are relatively alien for 10G Rack servers. The BMC on 11G server will support all the commands.
