I am monitoring ProLiant servers via IPMI (mostly DL360 and D380 gen9 and gen10).
A server with a good storage battery returns value 4 for the Megacell Status IPMI sensor. A server with a failed battery returns 6.
Where can I find all the possible values for the Megacell Battery Sensor so I can set proper triggers in my monitoring system? Or even better, where can I find values for all the IPMI sensors?
Thanks,
Felipe.
Solved! Go to Solution.

$ ipmitool -I lanplus -U someuser -H 10.10.10.1 -P somepassword sdr get "Megacell Status" -v
Running Get PICMG Properties my_addr 0x20, transit 0, target 0x20
