IPMI on ILO2 or ILO3

Hi all,

I have many servers running ILO4 but also some older ones running ILO2/3. ILO4 is no problem, I set the community string and add it to LibreNMS and I get all the SNMP information and set different alerts for defective harddisk, defective power supply etc.

For ILO2 and ILO3, there is no such thing as SNMP. We only have the option to ‘passthrough’. I have set an IP address to my ILO3 and tried to poll it using LibreNMS. Because ILO3 doesn’t have SNMP, the host shows it is down. When I to a IPMITOOL from the monitoring device to ILO3 I get:

[root@server03 librenms]# /usr/bin/ipmitool -I lanplus -c -H 10.0.0.37 -U ‘user’ -P ‘password’ -L USER sdr

So I can see the ILO is responding to the information I need. But because SNMP isn’t working I am unable to receive this data in LibreNMS. I also added the IP, user and password to the IPMI tab of course but that doesn’t help. I have red many topics about passing through the SNMP information to the host, but the host is already in LibreNMS as server which works fine.

Do I need to change the snmpd.conf on the server to include and poll this IPMI data from the ILO port ?

I am looking for it for several days but I cannot find any good solutions for this.

Thanks,
