Monitor server directly from DRAC over SNMP

[Srinivas_Ramanatha at Dell.com]

Hello,

I am not sure whether you would be able to the kind of management which
you are mentioning using SNMP over the DRAC interface.
But, you can set alerts for platform events like Temperature sensor
failure, fan failure etc.. using the DRAC interface alone.

Thanks
Srini

Subject: Monitor server directly from DRAC over SNMP

Hello list,

Is it possible to monitor all the parameters from BMC (disk, fan,
temperature, etc) directly over SNMP to the DRAC-interface?

I have managed to get all status from local BMC using ipmitool. But as I
am in need of setting up a monitoring solution able to poll many servers
running Windows, several different Linux distributions and even FreeBSD
it would be *very* useful to get all the data over SNMP directly from
DRAC rather than installing OpenManage software (and modprobeing ipmi
drivers etc) on every host.

When I run snmpwalk on the DRAC ip address I only get this:

$ snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public 85.xx.xx.xx 1.3.6.1.4.1.674
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductName.0 = STRING: "Dell Remote Access Controller
5"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductShortName.0 = STRING: "DRAC 5"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductDescription.0 = STRING: "This system component
provides a complete set of remote management functions for Dell
PowerEdge servers"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductManufacturer.0 = STRING: "Dell"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductVersion.0 = STRING: "1.33 (Build \"08.03.10\")"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductURL.0 = STRING: "https://85.xx.xx.xx:443"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsSystemServiceTag.0 = STRING: "FBGWP3J"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductType.0 = INTEGER: DRAC5(6)
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsFirmwareVersion.0 = STRING: "1.33"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsGlobalSystemStatus.0 = INTEGER: ok(3)


Thanks in advance.
