Subject: Suggestion: init.d script and config file for openipmi

Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:37:38 -0500

Package: openipmi
Version: 2.0.16

I think it would be a nice touch to add a init.d script to start/stop
openipmi (and load the required and desired kernel modules) in the
debian package. Since the ubuntu version has it, probably it would not
take much effort to add it to the package.

If using th eubuntu script, it has to be modified  to look for the
config file in /etc/default, not in /etc/sysconfig as the ubuntu one
currently does (as mentioned in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openipmi/+bug/473332). Of
course, we would also need a default /etc/default/openipmi config
file; a sample config file can be found at
http://linux.dell.com/files/openipmi/initscript.tgz or
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/62077268/%3Atmp%3Aopenipmi.sysconf.

Is the reason why I cannot get Hardware Watchdog setup properly related 
to this bug?

openipmi (2.0.16-1.4)
ipmitool (1.8.14-4)
watchdog (5.14-3)

***

The server keeps rebooting after 5 minutes. What am I doing wrong, and 
what do I need to do to get hardware watchdog working in Debian Jessie. 
Please help.


Motherboard: Supermicro X9DRH-7TF


***

List of IPMI BMC Info:

# dmidecode --type 38

# dmidecode 2.12
# SMBIOS entry point at 0x000f04c0
SMBIOS 2.7 present.

Handle 0x003f, DMI type 38, 18 bytes

***

Install procedure:

# apt-get install openipmi
# apt-get install ipmitool

While installing ipmitools there was an error message "Job for 
ipmievd.service failed...." because /dev/ipmi0 was not created yet. I 
rebooted and reinstalled ipmitool.


# apt-get install --reinstall ipmitool


# lsmod | grep ipmi

ipmi_wathdog

ipmi_msghandler


# dmesg | grep ipmi

ipmi_si: 00:07: IPMI kcs interface initialized

Is there a conflict with there being duplicate interfaces, and should 
one be used in place of the other and if so how?


***

The boot time startup screen listed

watchdog: iTCO_wdt: cannot register miscdev on minor=130 (err=-16).
watchdog: iTCO_wdt: a legacy watchdog module is probably present.


To solve this issue I blacklisted the following modules so they would 
not load into the kernel.


iTCO-wdt
iTCO_vendor_support

Also setting the following option in '/etc/default/grub' before running 
'update-grub'


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nmi_watchdog=0"


While I was trouble shooting, I also blacklisted

mei
mei_me

And I used 'lsmod' to verified that none of the blacklisted modules were 
loaded into the kernel.



***

Then I install the watchdog service:

# apt-get install watchdog


I edited the watchdog daemon config file:

# nano /etc/watchdog.conf

watchdog-device=/dev/watchdog
watchdog-timeout=240
interval=20
logtick=30
realtime=yes
priority=1
admin=root
file=/var/log/messages
log-dir=/var/log/watchdog


# ipmitool mc watchdog get

Watchdog Time Use: SMS/OS (0x44)
Watchdog Time is: Started/Running
Watchdog Timer Action: Hard Reset (0x01)

Present Countdown: 233 sec


# cat /var/log/syslog | grep watchdog

... watchdog[1087] :  starting daemon (5.14):

# nano /etc/default/watchdog

# Load module before starting watchdog
watchdog_module="none"


# nano /etc/default/ipmievd

# This is a shell script fraction
#

ENABLED="false"
#
#
# Options to the daemon ipmievd(8).
#
IPMIEVD_OPTIONS=open daemon"
ENABLE=true


In addition:

While I can manually start the 'watchdog.service' and 'ipmievd.service', 
these serviced do not start automatically at boot time.


'systemctl enable <service name>' does not enable either service with 
the following output listed:


Synchronizing state for watchdog.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d watchdog defaults
Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d watchdog enable

The unit files have no [Install] section. they are not ment to be 
enabled using systemctl.

...

How should I start the services automatically at boot time?


***

The motherboard has a jumper (JI2C1) for the 'I2C Bus to PCI-Exp. 
Slots'. The jumper is currenly disabled. Does this jumper need to be 
enabled as the output for 'dmidecode --type 38' lists an 'I2C Slave 
Address: 0x00' ?



***

I read about setting the following parameters, but there was no 
/etc/default/openipmi file.


IPMI_SI=yes
DEV_IPMI=yes
IPMI_WATCHDOG=yes
IPMI_WATCHDOG_OPTIONS="timeout=300"
IPMI_POWEROFF=no
IPMI_POWERCYCLE=no
IPMI_IMB=no

Am I supposed to set these parameters and if so where?


***

Is there supposed to be an ipmi.service? If so how does it get installed?


Thanks

Azeem
