3100-RL/RZ - Removing specific sensors from IPMI monitoring.

Modified on Wed, 23 Sep at 8:55 AM

When working with 3100 - RL+/ RZ/X units you will notice that when the unit turns on the IPMI card logs an errors as the IPMI card boots up before talking to the motherboard and its associated sensors. Using a tool called IPMItool you can disable certain sensors to stop these logs being created. **Note: IPMItool is a linux based application **



The ID for the sensor will need to be retrieved, this can be done with - ipmitool sdr elist(The outlined area is where you get the hex code for the sensors, only the first two values need to be taken. e.g CPU Input Voltage you will only need 1B)

Once the sensor ID has been retrieved you will need to add it to the 3rd block of hex values in the following command - ipmitool raw 0x04 0x28 "0x00" 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
Bellow are commands to disable sensors:
ipmitool raw 0x04 0x28 0x19 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 - DRAM VDDQ Voltage
ipmitool raw 0x04 0x28 0x0B 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 - 
5VSB Voltage
ipmitool raw 0x04 0x28 0x1A 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 - 
CPU iGPU Voltage
ipmitool raw 0x04 0x28 0x1B 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 - 
CPU Input Voltage
ipmitool raw 0x04 0x28 0x17 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0
0 - CPU Core Voltage

Once this is done you can redo the command ipmitool sdr elist and you should see the above sensors set to disabled
