In this release of Windows Admin Center Preview, we've added power configuration to server settings, BMC info (for IPMI-compatible BMCs), Dark UI theme (preview, work in progress), and the ability to...

Hello,

Can you tell me how the IPMI/BMC should show up ?

I have HP physical servers where IPMI is functional (I tested this with IPMIPing), the iLOs are fully configured and working as desired but in WAC on the overview tab it doesn't show up.

The client from where I access WAC and the server running WAC can do the IPMIPing successfully.

 

Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi Marc!

    Can you run the following PS script on the HP server and let me know what results you get? Thanks!

     

    $bmcInfo = Get-PcsvDevice
    $result = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
    $result | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Ip" $bmcInfo.IPv4Address
    $result | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Serial" $bmcInfo.SerialNumber
    $result

      Hello Daniel,

      Sorry to bother you with that but I am suely missing something but I can't get it to work.

      Whatever I try with get-pcsvdevice, I have always the same error.

      The error is : 

      Get-PcsvDevice : The operation failed. The device returned the following RMCP+ status code: 9.
      At line:1 char:1
      + Get-PcsvDevice -TargetAddress 10.248.24.36 -Credential $mycred -Managemen ...
      + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      ption
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 1,Get-PcsvDevice

       

      I have found a tool here http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/  and when I use it, it works !

      When I try ipmiutil I get :

      PS C:\Users\ext553\Downloads\ipmiutil-3.1.3-win64> .\ipmiutil.exe health -N 10.248.24.36 -U xxxxxxxxx -P xxxxxxxxxx

              chassis_intrusion   = inactive

      BMC LAN Channels  = 2
      Chan 2 AuthTypes  =
      ipmiutil health, completed successfully

       

      So there should be no problem with the server itself but with the cmdlet, don't you think ?

       

      Thanks in advance for your help

      Marc

      Hello Daniel,

      Thanks for your answer.

      I tried Get-PcsvDevice -TargetAddress X.X.X.X -ManagementProtocol IPMI -Credential $mycred

      where X.X.X.X is the IP of the iLO but it gives me an error :

      Get-PcsvDevice : The operation failed. The device returned the following RMCP+ status code: 9.

       

      I tried that on mutliple servers with always the same result and I can't find information about this error.

      I will have to investigate this issue.
