Reading temperature on DELL PE2850?

2007-06-05 Thread Sten Daniel Soersdal
I'm contemplating setting sysctl machdep.cpu_idle_hlt=0 on my 4 core 
PE2850, but i am concerned that without HLT-ing would increase the 
temperature levels to dangerous levels.

Are there any ways for me to read temperatures from FreeBSD/DRAC4 ?

Have you tries using IPMI using the onboard base management controller?

I use racadm on my local machine and have found that the linux version will run 
on FreeBSD. 

There are commands in the racadm utility to read temps and voltages etc etc, a 
little cumbersome, but possible.

Too bad DRAC IIIs are so unreliable because the interface includes all that.

racadm is better used from a windows machine to remotely read the drac though.
