Thank you for the suggestion, but none of those packages work as-is. The “simplest” solution would appear to be: include ipmi(4) in the kernel… I’m quite familiar with OpenBSD, but not so much with FreeBSD – and definitely not familiar enough with it to want to attempt recompiling my own kernel and transplanting it!
So… what’re the odds of getting ipmi(4) included in the 2.0 kernel? (ipmitool talks to ipmi(4); the other two pkgs do it their own way – I think – but have binary dependencies that are a bit daunting on an ‘embedded’ platform) Thanks, -Adam From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Moshe Katz Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 18:47 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] IPMI under pfSense 2.0?

I've got a Dell PowerEdge 1650 with an intermittently failing fan (I think), and I'd like to confirm which fan it is (or even that the problem is, in fact, a fan) before I take it down and crack it open. I don't have a redundant firewall sitting there to pick up the slack so downtime is bad... I believe several IPMI packages have been ported to FreeBSD, but I don't see any trace of any of them at the command-line. Suggestions?
