Monotoring Dell PowerEdge MX7000 with IPMI ?

Hi Stephane,

thank you for your response

yes i will use the IPMITool to monitor the chassis MX7000 and i should activate IPMI via IDRAC 

is it ok or there are others setups to do?

Thank you

Is it ok, no other setup needed.

have a good day

Hello 

when I go to Click Devices> Compute> View Details> Settings> Management.
I find the IPMI configuration of the blades which have in the chassis,
but I want to monitor the mx7000 chassis itself ??

please help me 

Upon researching this I determined you can't enable IPMI to manage the chassis. What i would recommend is looking into using OpenManage Enterprise, as it would be able to do what you're looking for. 

hello 

if I don't use the OpenManage Enterprise,  interface to enable IPMI !!!
can i use idrac ??, normally mx 7000 works with idrac 9 and i find how to activate ipmi in idrac 9 ??

is it possible ?

Hello @hbib,

I am sorry, but as Chris already mentioned. The chassis itself does not have an iDRAC, it is meant to be monitored using OpenManage Enterprise - Modular (Redfish API).

Regards.

hello 

thanks @DiegoLopez 

but in the MX7000 documentations on page 29,

https://i.dell.com/sites/csdocuments/Product_Docs/en/dell_emc_poweredge_mx7000_technical_guide.pdf (p.29)

it indicates that there is the possibility to work with ipmitool, I am looking for how to activate IPMI from the OpenManage Enterprise  ??
the procedure I find to activate the ipmi servers and not the chassis. but i need the chassis itself.
I am looking for this monitoring solution by command to integrate it into software with script

thanks 

Hello again @hbib,

Yes, endeed, the iDRAC is mentioned in the Documentation but it's becasue it is the Management tool for the sled servers, as you can see in page 35. And for the iDRAC it is possible to use ipmitool. But not for the chassis as it does not have an idrac.

Regards.
