I've been monitoring CPU temperature on a few Dell SC1435s running CentOS4
via OpenIPMI and 'ipmitool sdr'. It's been working very nicely, but the
upgrade to 4.5 not so long ago seems to have broken something:
# ipmitool sdr type Temperature
Temp | 01h | ns | 3.1 | Disabled
Planar Temp | 04h | ok | 7.1 | 30 degrees C
Temp Interface | 53h | ns | 7.1 | Disabled
The disabled sensors above used to work fine, and there have been no config
changes or bios upgrades or anything. All machines affected post 4.5.
I had a similar problem with Dell boxes when I went from ipmitool v1.8.8
to v1.8.9 - see the thread starting at:
<http://www.mail-archive.com/ipmitool-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00468.html>
It looks like the patch for ipmitool in the CentOS 4.5 OpenIPMI SRPM
i.e. ipmitool-1.8.8-disabled-sensor.patch is the cause of this issue ...
the comment is the change log is:
- Added patch to fix sensors problems on Woodcrest (#228679)
I guess you could rebuild the OpenIPMI without that patch
