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. Any suggestions? Cheers, Gavin

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 at lists.sourceforge.net/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 James Pearson
