Question I am using ipmitool and would like to check if the power supply status (good/bad). How do I do this? Answer The commands depend on the power supply you have. If you have a power supply without PMbus, the commands are different than the one with PMbus. Please find commands below. Please determine the type of power supply, by visiting www.supermicro.com.
