Hi,
I tried extending the the time out to 60000 and re-transmit to 10000. Unfortunately it made no difference.
Thanks for all the help.
Can't think what else it might be.
Regards,
Richard

Try going through the man page. It does have some things you can try. Maybe IPMI version 2.0 might work.

What do you mean by the "man page" please?

A man page (short for manual page) is a form of online software documentation usually found on a Unix or Unix-like operating system.
So to get to the man page for the ipmi-sensors command, login to a shell on the XI system and run
In there, you can see all of the comand line options for it.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the help. I have cracked it. It was indeed to do with the IPMI versions.
I have forced the command to use version 2 and all the checks are now being returned.
Code: Select all
ipmi-sensors -h $ip -u $username -p $password -C -Q --driver-type=LAN_2_0
Regards,
Richard
