Al, Thanks a lot. It's very usefull. But I have a problem, how can I identify the motherboard support the power/wattage or not. I mean I program it. Is freeipmi take advantage of BMC? How I get power/wattage via BMC? Any help will be appreciated. --GHui

But it depends on the motherboard. If your motherboard doesn't support those sensors, you're out of luck. A few motherboard vendors have OEM specific extensions that support power/watt readings which you can get via ipmi-oem. But those are motherboard specific. You can check the manpage for ipmi-oem to see if any extensions for your motherboard are there. In the future, I hope to extend FreeIPMI to support some additional power measurement features. But that's a ways out (many motherboards don't support it yet, so I don't have anything to try it/test it on). Hope that helps, Al On Wed, 2011-09-14 at 07:05 -0700, Easley wrote: > Can I get power(Watt) via FreeIPMI? > Or if I want to get power(Watt), What can I do? > Any help will be appreciated. > _______________________________________________ > Freeipmi-users mailing list > Freeipmi-users@gnu.org > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users -- Albert Chu ch...@llnl.gov Computer Scientist High Performance Systems Division Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-users mailing list Freeipmi-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users
