Hello I post to this mailing list because i want some information that i can't find anywhere about IPMI. I have discover IPMI recently in my try to know each linux options. When i saw on a site that IPMI permit to use: -The "ID" button, and blue LED -All of the hardware sensors on the motherboard via its i2c bus (this is why these boards show up no sensors with the normal lm_sensors drivers, whilst similar non-IPMI boards do)
This is that i have on my HP proliant, no sensors and a unknown blue LED button. So i investigate more and i discover that Proliant machines are not very IPMI friendly and that the only way for me to use that is to use the HP cpqhealth "driver". So my questions are: 1 The information that HP Proliant doesn't work with openIPMI is it still true? On mine that doesn't work but it's possibly because i made bad test. If not, do you think it is possible that this type of machine works in future? (in this case i am ready to help). 2 How to know the presence of an IPMI interface ? Like some ipmi-detect tools 3 With sensors-detect i found an PC8741x sensor with no "monitoring capabilities". But in the datasheets of this chips it speaks about it can do BMC interfaces. Is this a IPMI chip? I'm certainly wrong but i prefer to be sure. thanks in advance for any reponces. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
