Supermicro Blades: dmidecode output

Open MatthewDZane opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

We have a Supermicroblade (SYS-5038MR-H8TRF) server in our Netbox instance and we are trying to use netbox-agent on it.

As per the instructions written here in the README, https://github.com/Solvik/netbox-agent#blades-3, here is the output for the dmidecode_output.txt

This was run on a container with elevated privileges.

Hi !

As per the code here this should be supported

Which issue are you having?

Hi!

We got sbe-720f-r90 supermicro enclosure with 20 sbi-7228r-t2x servers (B10DRT-TP motherboard).

Problems with netbox-agent:

  1. enclosure serial is detected incorrectly, looks like agent takes serial from server, not from enclosure. So when we're adding server, new enclosure also created for each server
  2. server type and chassis type are detected incorrectly. blade chassis detects as sbi-7228r-t2x, blade server is detected as b10drpt-tp, should be sbe-720f-r90 and sbi-7228r-t2x accordingly)

Attaching two dmidecode and two lshw from 1st and 2nd servers in enclosure.
