Great news,
I've successfully implemented bmcsensors-over-IPMI-over-SMB, working
on the Intel Server donated by Aweta.

Please will you go through mailing list and notify other people that were fighting with it?
(I'm CCing Uli) and I think some of other asked in ticket system.

Unfortunately I'm not very skilled on this IMPI/BMC field. Please could you write the general HOWTO for
people with server boards? (and for me to point them to this howto)

1) How to know they have bmc, ipmi ..
2) what patches they need
3) how to obtain results.

Thank you very much.

Regards
Rudolf

What's this system? I can't find Aweta mentioned in our "donations"
document, nor on the author web page. Can you please update at least the
former?

Thanks,

Hi,



I had only partial success :-((



Board: INTEL SE7320SP2  with mBMC PC87431 , 6300ESB SMBus



Suse Linux 10.0 Kernel 2.6.13-15-smp with the following patches



linux-i2c-2.6.13-v36.1-i801.diff
linux-ipmi-2.6.13-v36.1-2.base.diff
linux-ipmi-2.6.13-v36.1-2.emu.diff
linux-ipmi-2.6.13-v36.1-2.smb.diff
bmcsensors-20050809





The output from sensor (package ipmiutil) seems to be OK

but sensors  (and therefore all aplications based on it)

brings up a complete different assiociation of  Labels and  MIN/MAX Values

and isn't able to read FAN and Temperature Values



please see attached  output.........



btw



after updating the Board's mBMC  with FRUSDR to Ver. 1.50 (yes the Firmware
was already 2.40)

ipmitool - I open fru list    still  'hangs'  ipmi_smb driver

but I'm able to read FRU-Data with FRUCONFIG  without problems



Any hints ?



Regards Uli

I was awaiting approval from Aweta to publicly acknowledge them,
I just received it, so will do these updates shortly.

Hmm it's basically working but the fan and temp values aren't read.
Perhaps there was a sysfs name change in 2.6.13?
Do you have sensors 2.9.2? (sensors -v)

For the labels in 'sensors', copy the label statements that appear in dmesg after bmcsensors module load
and copy it to the bmcsensors section of /etc/sensors.conf.

not a bad idea but for now here are the short answers:

> 1) How to know they have bmc, ipmi ..

sensors-detect will tell them if they have a KCS or SMIC IPMI interface.
The 87431 is a IPMI-over-SMBus chip and I'll be working on sensors-detect
support for it.

> 2) what patches they need

I updated  the new drivers page to specifically identify the patches required for 87431.

load modules, type 'sensors' :)

Hi Mark,

Do you have any idea how to check this ?
is anyone of your lm_sensors crew involved in SUSE's  OPENSUSE development ?

>Do you have sensors 2.9.2? (sensors -v)

I had sensors 2.9.1 (delivered with Suse 10.0)
now updated to sensors 2.9.2....  no effect

OK: this will show the correct labeling but still get wrong/no reading and incorrect min/max values

e.g. from sensor:

001a SDR Full 01 34 20 04 snum 25 Proc1 Fan        = 0f OK   5602.24 RPM

from sensors:
MY_CHANGED_LABEL_FAN:        0 RPM  (min = 1343 RPM)


hope you can help me

Hi Mark,

Nice work :)

2.6.13 was the whole hwmon moveover. Bmcsensors-26 won't work with
>=2.6.13 at the moment simply because there is no way to register it
as a hwmon class when the IPMI subsystem hasn't got any driver
model/sysfs support. I have a patch that adds the support to IPMI (see
ipmi mailing list/lkml) but I need to update it and send it to Corey
again and I just haven't had the time (university getting in the way).

I'll update the patch (there isn't much to do) and send it in to Corey
next weekend, and then there is a bit of work which I've mostly done
(ipmisensors) to re-write bmcsensors so that it uses hwmon, the new
sysfs callbacks and gets rid of any i2c-ipmi references.

Thanks,
Yani
