Hi all,
I had newly joined in this group, Im working on a proting
project.
I want to write an application program in IA64-RHEL3
system, which will give status of power, temperature and Fan.
So, will this IPMI has any interface(function calls) which will give
these above mentioned details.
Please reply, if anybody done this type of experiments.
This is primarily what IPMI is for. You have to have a system that
supports IPMI, of course, but if it does it almost certainly has the
capabilities you mention. You also need the IPMI driver, but that
should come by default in RHEL3. Matt Domsch of Dell graciously
provides updated drivers for various system (including yours) at
http://linux.dell.com/files/openipmi
There are four basic utilities for accessing IPMI. You have:
* ipmitool
* ipmiutil
* freeipmi
* openipmi
The first three are fairly similar in what they do. They are userland
tools that provide access to the IPMI system and let you query things
about the system either directly or from scripts. The last is more of a
library that allows direct programatic access (from C, Perl, or Python)
to the IPMI system.
Google will find any of these for you.

Thanks in Advance.
