[lm-sensors] HP Compaq ProLiant DL380 detect failure

[twb0@lymenet.org (Thomas Brown)]

Anyone have any luck getting lm_sensors to work with the HP/Compaq
ProLiant DL series (i.e. DL380)?  With the latest 'sensors-detect'
script I get "Sorry, no sensors were detected."

Here is some data for your perusal:


dmesg output:

or use force_addr=0xaddr

HP has a utility to read data from the Internal Lights Out Management board:

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:0f.0: ServerWorks OSB4 South
Bridge

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-piix4' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to
write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though.
Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!
Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): YES
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290...     No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290...       No

Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290...                   No
Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' at 0x290...                  No

Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8...                     No

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): YES
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `ITE'...                                      Yes

Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       No

Some CPU may also contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for CPU embedded sensors? (YES/no): YES
AMD K8 thermal sensors...                                   No
Intel Core family thermal sensor...                         No

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an
I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported. See doc/FAQ,
doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html or http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ
(FAQ #4.24.3) for further information.
If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.



Thanks much!
