Assigning to Yong Hu, distro.openstack PL, as this appears to be an issue with train only

@zhipeng, this issue was reported from the EB you made for JC.

There were possibly 2 problems:
1. on host node: sensors cannot be listed by CMD.
2. on Horizon (stx-GUI) dashboard, sensors couldn't be listed.

StarlingX Horizon dashboard with port 8080 is STX-GUI on host, not the containerized OpenStack Horizon (which was upgraded to Train), so this issue is not related to OpenStack Train upgrade.

Likely the issue was from either IPMI/Redfish utility or BMC setting in BIOS.

Hi JC,

You have to enable ipmi first.
Some servers such as Dell, have an 'Enable IPMI over LAN setting.
Elio already have the same issue and already fixed after enable IPMI.
I will forward related email to you and you can also consult him directly.

Thanks!

I tried with all steps on email thread.
Sensor can be listed.
Now, we can proceed to close this LP.
