Hi Al, Can you show me some log that ipmi-sensors excutes on the matchine which support power/wattage? I'm lack of matchine, and I want to known it looks like. Thanks a lot. --GHui ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Al Chu"<[email protected]>; Date: Thu, Sep 15, 2011 10:33 PM To: "Easley"<[email protected]>; Cc: "freeipmi-users"<[email protected]>; Subject: Re: [Freeipmi-users] The power consumption of computer
Hi Easley, For ipmi-sensors, you can run ipmi-sensors and see what sensors are available. For ipmi-oem, you'll have to look at the manpage and see if your motherboard is supported. Beyond that, you'll have to check with the motherboard manufacturer or vendor. IPMI does all its communication via the BMC, so it already does everything via the BMC. Remember, IPMI is a standard/interface that supports many system management and monitoring functions. However, there is no requirement for a motherboard to support ALL the system management/monitoring functions listed. So if a motherboard supports power/wattage readings via standard IPMI, FreeIPMI already supports it. Al On Thu, 2011-09-15 at 00:04 -0700, Easley wrote: > > Al, > Thanks a lot.
