lm_sensors doesn't detect voltage measurements on HP Proliant DL320 G2 machine

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Jean,

Thanks a lot.

Please see attached file after using i2cdump 0 0x60. Does that give any
hint?

I am struggling installing HP system inside manager at the moment. It
takes many many steps and very easy to go wrong. I will let you know the
result once I get it running.

Cheers,

Jim

First device at 0x33 is "nothing" as expected (most likely the
protection
settings address of the eeprom at 0x53). You missed the second dump, I
asked
for 0x60 and you did 0x69, so you dump the clock device instead of the
unknown
device. You're lucky it didn't freeze your system, since some clock
chips are
known for they moderatrely appreciate being dumped. Please try 0x60 now.

Sounds much like Compaq and their proprietary "cpqhealth" tool of yore.
These
folks don't seem to like cooperating with us, which is quite strange
since HP
seems to have embraced the open-source movement by now (they even were
the
main sponsor for the Sucon '04 in Zurich in early september).

I would suggest that you give a try to their tool. If it does what you
want, I
guess there is no need to complain. If not, tell them why. And if you
think we
are more likely to provide what you need than they are, tell them, and
ask
them to release details specs for their implementation. Maybe they'll
listen...

As a paying customer, you have much more power than we will ever have,
especially if you have a large number of these machines and are likely
to buy
more at some point in the future.
