You're welcome. But please keep the list included in the discussion.

Sorry,
I pressed the reply to button on my client and didn't saw that only your
address was listet...
The above configuration file only sets limit for 3VCC, +5V and +12V,
so obviously "sensors -s" can't restore any other limit. If you want
to be able to restore all limits then they must all be expressed in
the configuration file.
This will be a workaround for the moment...
Hmm. The chip has banked (or indirectly accessed) registers. The
driver remembers the last bank that was used and only actively selects
a bank when it is different from the previous one. If something else
(e.g. IPMI) is touching the bank selection, this could cause improper
values to be read. Or, worse, values to be written to the wrong
register. I can only suppose that this is what happened there. In your
case, we can see an alarm was raised by 3VSB max being 0, so it's not
a read error, the limit has really been set to 0.
We could make the driver assume less and always set the bank before
every register read or write, however this won't help if the other
side (IPMI) does not. And even then, this would still leave small
windows for collisions. Really, the only safe approach is it either
use lm-sensors or IPMI but not both.
I think it will be a god idea to change the driver to do so. This may be
make the window much closer for collisions.
I never set values via IPMI by myself explicitly, so the problems may be
solved after the changes...
(...)
At the moment I use BMC only for remote console access.
Is there a way to integrate ipmi sensors(?) in sensord I haven't much
knowledge about ipmi-tools?
I want to get syslog-entries and alarmbell like at sensord.
Unfortunately not. IPMI sensors are only accessible through
IPMI-specific tools at the moment, without any integration with
libsensors.
So understand this as feature-request... ;-)
I think support of IMPI sensor reading will expand the usability of the
libsensors / sensord - explicitly on server-systems.
