Verify IBM Netcool/OMNIbus Is Configured to Receive Traps From Server SP

Collect the following information about the remote service processor that you want to test:

Parameter	Value
SPname	The name or IP address of the service processor
SPadminname	The administrator login name for the service processor
SPadminpassword	The administrator password for the service processor

Open a command shell on the system that has IPMItool installed.
Enter the following IPMItool command to generate a list of all available sensors on that remote server.
```
ipmitool -U SPadminname -P SPadminpassword -H SPname -v sdr list
```
For example, to get the list of available sensors on a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 server at IP address 192.168.1.1 and the ILOM SP login is root and password is changeme, use the following command:
```
ipmitool -U root -P changeme -H 192.168.1.1 -v sdr list
```
In the output from IPMItool, identify the Sensor ID name of a sensor that has at least one entry for Assertions Enabled or Deassertions Enabled.
In the following example, IPMItool returns the following information about the sensor named /MB/T_AMB.
```
Sensor ID             : /MB/T_AMB (0x9)
Entity ID             : 7.0 (System Board)
Sensor Type (Analog)  : Temperature
Upper critical        : 55.000
Assertions Enabled    : lnc- lcr- lnr- unc+ ucr+ unr+
Deassertions Enabled  : lnc- lcr- lnr- unc+ ucr+ unr+
```
This sensor monitors ambient temperature on the motherboard of servers.

Note - Exercise caution in choosing a sensor to use for a simulated event. Simulating extreme high or low temperature for some sensors may cause the server to shut down.
Enter the following IPMI command to generate a simulated event:
```
ipmitool -U SPadminname -P SPadminpassword -H SPname event sensorname option
```
For example, to generate a simulated event for exceeding the upper critical (ucr) ambient temperature on a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 server at IP address 192.168.1.1 and the ILOM SP login is root and password is changeme, you would enter the following command:
```
ipmitool -U root -P changeme -H 192.168.1.1 event /MB/T_AMB ucr assert
```
In the command shell, IPMItool returns information similar to the following:
```
Finding sensor /MB/T_AMB ... ok
0 │ Pre-Init Time-stamp │ Temperature /MB/T_AMB │ \
Upper Critical going high │ Reading 56 > Threshold \
55 degrees C
```
In the message or event console of your management package, verify that it has received an event from Oracle ILOM or from Embedded LOM relevant to the sensor that you specified in your IPMItool command.
If you do not see these messages in the console, review this manual for required configuration steps or consult the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
(Recommended) – Clear the simulated event with the following syntax:
```
ipmitool -U SPadminname -P SPadminpassword -H SPname event sensorname option
```
To clear (deassert) the simulated event in the previous example, enter the following command:
```
ipmitool -U root -P changeme -H 192.168.1.1 event /MB/T_AMB ucr deassert
```
If you do not see these messages in the console, review this manual for required configuration steps or consult the Release Notes section in this guide.
