Hi all, I was asked about how to remotely find out the board/CPU temperature of a HP C8000 workstation. Here is the way I found on Debian Linux: Instruct the kernel to load the IPMI modules: modprobe ipmi_si modprobe ipmi_devintf You need to have the "ipmitool" installed: apt-get install ipmitool Then, you can run "ipmitool sdr" to get quite some information: root@savaria:/# ipmitool sdr Chassis Intrus | 0x01 | ok Chassis Open | 0x00 | ok Security | Not Readable | ns Power Button | 0x01 | ok Power Button | 0x00 | ok Clear CMOS Jmpr | 0x00 | ok Safe Mode Jmpr | 0x00 | ok Clr Passwd Jmpr | 0x00 | ok Rsvd Jmpr | Not Readable | ns Rsvd2 Jmpr | Not Readable | ns Watchdog Timer | Not Readable | ns Cooling 2 (CPU) | 0x01 | ok Cooling 3 (Mem) | 0x01 | ok Cooling 4 (Disk) | 0x01 | ok Wake-on-LAN | Not Readable | ns Missing Device | Not Readable | ns Power Supply | 0x01 | ok Power Control | 0x01 | ok Pwr Pod 0 Fault | 0x00 | ok Pwr Pod 1 Fault | Not Readable | ns Battery Voltage | 0x00 | ok Over-Voltage | 0x00 | ok Power Good | 0x00 | ok Ambient Temp | 24 degrees C | ok Processor 0 Temp | 86 degrees C | ok Processor 1 Temp | no reading | ns Chassis Fan Tach | disabled | ns CPU0 Fan Tach | disabled | ns CPU1 Fan Tach | disabled | ns Memory Fan Tach | disabled | ns Disk Fan Tach | disabled | ns Chassis Fan | 0x00 | ok CPU0 Fan | 0x00 | ok CPU1 Fan | 0x00 | ok Memory Fan | 0x00 | ok Disk Fan | 0x00 | ok ACPI State | 0x01 | ok TOC Interrupt | 0x00 | ok SDR Time Set | 0x00 | ok SEL Time Set | 0x00 | ok Intrnl Watchdog | Not Readable | ns Another temperature information can be gathered from the built-in SATA/SCSI drives: Install smartmontools: apt-get install smartmontools Get drive information: smartctl --all /dev/sda | grep -i temp Temperature Warning: Enabled Current Drive Temperature: 44 C Drive Trip Temperature: 68 C Any other ideas ? Additionally I wonder if it's possible to get more information filled in for IPMI on C8000 machines. E.g. is it possible on HP-UX to remotely turn the machine on and off ?
