When a BMC/iDrac is in a system, the sensors are physically connected to the BMC/iDrac. There is no mechanism to bypass the BMC/iDrac to access the sensors directly.

I'm not sure about the hardware details but is it difficult to allow both lm_sensors and the BMC to access the sensors? WHy does Dell block the lm_sensors access? Is there a reason? Maybe someone at Dell can elaborate? -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
