Hi Werner, > Does anybody know whether one of the other tools like freeipmi or > impiutil has some functionality like this?
In FreeIPMI, there is a tool called ipmimonitoring that I believe does what you're asking for (output condensed for readability below). 18 | Fan1 | Nominal | 14500.00 | RPM | 'OK' 19 | Fan2 | Nominal | 14300.00 | RPM | 'OK' 20 | Fan3/CPU2 | Nominal | 14300.00 | RPM | 'OK' 21 | Fan4/CPU1 | Nominal | 13900.00 | RPM | 'OK' 22 | Fan5 | Nominal | 14000.00 | RPM | 'OK' 23 | Fan6 | Nominal | 14000.00 | RPM | 'OK' 24 | Fan7/CPU3 | Critical | 0.00 | RPM | 'At or Below (<=) Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold' 25 | Fan8/CPU4 | Critical | 0.00 | RPM | 'At or Below (<=) Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold' 26 | Fan9 | Critical | 0.00 | RPM | 'At or Below (<=) Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold' 27 | Power Supply 1 | Nominal | N/A | N/A | 'Presence detected' 28 | Power Supply 2 | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A So for this example, fans with normal RPM are "Nominal", out of range is "Critical", and the power supply that doesn't exist is "N/A". There is also a "Warning" output when the situation is appropriate. I can speak more of it, but it's probably not best on this mailing. Feel free to ping me on the FreeIPMI mailing list.
