I've just got a new server with an Intel S5000PSL motherboard. I'm trying and failing to get useful temperature readings out of it.
> ipmitool sdr type Temperature Baseboard Temp | 30h | ok | 7.1 | 20 degrees C Front Panel Temp | 32h | ok | 12.1 | 16 degrees C P1 Therm Margin | 99h | ok | 3.1 | -52 degrees C P2 Therm Margin | 9Bh | ok | 3.2 | -52 degrees C P1 Therm Ctrl % | C0h | ok | 3.1 | 0 unspecified P2 Therm Ctrl % | C1h | ok | 3.2 | 0 unspecified Proc1 VRD Hot | C8h | ok | 3.1 | Proc2 VRD Hot | C9h | ok | 3.2 | The motherboard manual helpfully lists all of the BMC sensors available in a big table in ftp://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000psl/sb/s5000psl_tps_rev_12.pdf According to that document, the CPU temperatures are available as sensor numbers 98h and 9Ah. However, neither 'ipmitool sensor' nor 'ipmitool sdr' produce CPU temperature readings at all. The relevant bit of 'ipmitool -v sensor' is: Sensor ID : Processor 1 Stat (0x90) Entity ID : 3.1 Sensor Type (Discrete): Processor States Asserted : Processor [Presence detected] Sensor ID : Processor 2 Stat (0x91) Entity ID : 3.2 Sensor Type (Discrete): Processor States Asserted : Processor [Presence detected] Sensor ID : PCIe Link0 (0xa0) Entity ID : 49.0 Sensor Type (Discrete): Critical Interrupt Sensor ID : PCIe Link1 (0xa1) Entity ID : 49.1 Sensor Type (Discrete): Critical Interrupt (interestingly, there's no mention of the 'P1 Therm Margin' that 'sdr type Temperature' claims is there). AFAICT there's no way to query a sensor by ID, and 'ipmitool sensor get "Processor 1 Temp"' and related attempts all fail to give anything useful. The product manual claims that the CPU temperature is available, so how do I get to it? I'm using ipmitool 1.8.8 on Debian 'etch', and I've downloaded and compiled 1.8.9 and got identical results. -- Dr Mark Mackey Cresset BioMolecular Discovery ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
