Roy,
That system has a Hot-Swap Controller (HSC) that has SDRs and FRU data
on its IPMI MC, but those are addressed at slave address 0xC0 instead of
0x20 for the main BMC.
This HSC MC can detect whether a slot has a drive inserted/present,
removed, or unused, but it cannot know whether a drive is inserted &
failed from the slot perspective, nor can it know about the RAID status.
Below is what some sample sensors for the HSC look like:
_ID_ SDR_Type_xx Sz Own Typ S_Num Sens_Description Hex & Interp
Reading
0049 SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 02 SAS Drv 1 Stat = 00 d0 00 8e
Ready
004a SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 03 SAS Drv 2 Stat = 00 d0 00 8e
Ready
004b SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 04 SAS Drv 3 Stat = 00 d0 00 80
Unused
004c SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 09 SAS Drv 1 Pres = 00 d0 02 80
Present
004d SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 0a SAS Drv 2 Pres = 00 d0 02 80
Present
004e SDR Comp 02 29 c0 a 0d snum 0b SAS Drv 3 Pres = 00 d0 00 80
Unused

0054 SDR IPMB 12 1b dev: c0 00 29 0f 01 SFP HotSwap Ctlr
If you have trouble with this part, let us know what software you are
using to read the sensors.
For drive/volume health you would need some other software. There is an
Intel RAID Web Console that can be used remotely, or there is an SNMP
subagent for enterprise management. See the platform CD that came with
the server for that (or see intel.com for downloads).

You didn't provide very much information. What software did you use to
try to talk to it? What did it print? Why do you think you can get the
RAID controller status from the BMC (what do the docs say about it)?
I don't know anything about this system, but people from Intel do
subscribe to this list. So maybe you can get the info.

Post by Roy ChanHello,
On the Intel SR2500 Server Chasis + Intel S5000PAL Server board, the
built-in RAID/drive controller is connected to the BMC. However, the
RAID/drive controller status could not be retrieved through IPMI. All
other sensor data can be retrieved without any problems.
I want to retrieve all sensor status including the RAID/drive
controller status. Can someone help me out.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Roy Chan
