Hi there, sorry in advance for this possibly dumb question, but how do I set a threshold?
I have many Supermicro AOC-IPMI-1U IPMI cards and they work ok, however the factory defaults of some settings are not good: n0005:~# ipmitool -V ipmitool version 1.8.9 n0005:~# ipmitool sensor list CPU | 25.000 | degrees C | ok | na | na | na | 76.000 | 78.000 | 80.000 System | 26.000 | degrees C | ok | na | na | na | 76.000 | 78.000 | 80.000 CPU Core | 1.272 | Volts | ok | 0.896 | 0.904 | 0.912 | 1.384 | 1.392 | 1.400 DIMM | 1.808 | Volts | ok | 1.568 | 1.584 | 1.600 | 1.984 | 2.000 | 2.016 3.3V | 3.344 | Volts | ok | 2.912 | 2.928 | 2.944 | 3.648 | 3.664 | 3.680 5V | 4.968 | Volts | ok | 4.416 | 4.440 | 4.464 | 5.520 | 5.544 | 5.568 5VSB | 4.896 | Volts | ok | 4.416 | 4.440 | 4.464 | 5.520 | 5.544 | 5.568 12V | 11.712 | Volts | ok | 10.464 | 10.560 | 10.656 | 13.344 | 13.440 | 13.536 -12V | -12.381 | Volts | ok | -13.871 | -13.722 | -13.573 | -10.444 | -10.295 | -10.146 Battery | 3.200 | Volts | ok | 2.912 | 2.928 | 2.944 | 3.648 | 3.664 | 3.680 FAN1 | 13635.000 | RPM | ok | 270.000 | 405.000 | 540.000 | na | na | na FAN2 | 13500.000 | RPM | ok | 270.000 | 405.000 | 540.000 | na | na | na FAN3 | 13770.000 | RPM | ok | 270.000 | 405.000 | 540.000 | na | na | na FAN4 | 0.000 | RPM | ok | 270.000 | 405.000 | 540.000 | na | na | na FAN5 | 0.000 | RPM | ok | 270.000 | 405.000 | 540.000 | na | na | na FAN6/CPU | 0.000 | RPM | ok | 270.000 | 405.000 | 540.000 | na | na | na Intrusion | 0.000 | unspecified | nc | 0.000 | na | 0.000 | 0.000 | na | na Power Supply | 0.000 | unspecified/uns | cr | 0.000 | na | 0.000 | 0.000 | na | na (sorry for the line wrap) For example I want to change the CPU core temperature levels to 60 65 and 70 degrees, i.e. I start n0005:~# ipmitool sensor thresh CPU upper 60 65 70 Locating sensor record 'CPU'...
