Firstly, I made a mistake. This is a FC9 system, not FC14. I tried installing freeipmi but it didn't give me the ipmitool command. I uninstalled that and installed OpenIPMI and OpenIPMI-tools However, when I ran the command suggested all I got was errors. [root@ollie ~]# ipmitool sensor Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory Get Device ID command failed Unable to open SDR for reading [root@ollie ~]# Is it possible that it's not a compatible RAID controller? Is there any way of seeing which controller is installed? I tried lspci and got the following. Is that a compatible controller? [root@ollie ~]# lspci|grep -i raid 02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (Rocket) (rev 02) [root@ollie ~]# Gary On Friday 11 November 2011 14:02:26 Morten Stevens wrote: > On 11.11.2011 14:47, Bryn M.
