Hi,
Running ESXi 6.7.0 Evaluation copy on one of our Intel based SBCs. For some reason the IPMI modules are not being loaded at host start-up.
VMkernel.Boot.ipmiEnabled is set to true.
I can load them manually using :-
vmkload_mod ipmi_si_drv
vmkload_mod ipmi_devintf
I then get from esxcfg-module -l|grep ipmi
ipmi_msghandler 2 40
ipmi_si_drv 0 48
ipmi_devintf 0 20
Then using the Web Client under Monitor->System sensors I get the sensor info displayed, i.e. CPU temp/Volts, etc.
I have made sure they are all enabled using :-
esxcli system module set -m ipmi_si_drv -e 1
esxcli system module set -m ipmi_devintf -e 1
esxcli system module set -m ipmi_msghandler -e 1
Then using 'esxcli system module list|grep ipmi' I get:-
ipmi_msghandler true true
ipmi_si_drv true true
ipmi_devintf true true
I have obviously rebooted the host (many times!), but the modules are still not loaded at start-up.
Has anyone any ideas or seen this before for other modules?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
