Does anyone know of an easy way to get temperature information out of a Dell PowerEdge 1550/1650/1750/1850/2650/2850 running FreeBSD4/5/6? Something that has a very simple CLI that just outputs the temperature without any formatting, or a library/sysctl, would be ideal. Thanks.

These chips usually aren't part of the main chipset, are available via SMBus / LPC (ex-ISA), and can even be different on the different batches of the same MB (I've seen it on Intel desktop MB). You can just try sysutils/healthd port, possible with my patch: ftp://external.atlantis.dp.ua/FreeBSD/healthd/0.7.9/patch-IntelDeskBoards.v04 which adds support for the following monitoring chips: Analog Devices ADM1025, SMSC LPC47M1x2, and National Semiconductors LM85.

The only thing I have not found is the RAID status, but I am guessing if you dig deep enough, you will find it in there...

Hello, try /usr/ports/sysutils/mbmon. It is HW specific "supports LM78/79, WINBond 83781D/83782D/83783S, ASUS 991227F, and VIA VT82C686A/B PC-health chips via 3 methods: ISA-I/O, SMBus, VIA-direct". to get the HD`s temperature (and other info about HD as well) you can use /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools (enable SMART in BIOS for ATA drives).

For now manually back port the ipmi device driver and then install the latest ipmitool from ports. Then you can run ipmitool via the local interfaces. Interface that are support are SMIC and KCS. SSIF is in progress and dealing with some strange ACPI defintions that put a hole in the address space of the HW :-( I haven't really looked at the BT interface yet. Doug A.

I have a couple Dell 2450's - I'd LOVE to see this driver ported to FreeBSD. If anybody is interested in working on it I can probably provide access to one of the boxes for testing, and I might even be able to contribute some cash. Jim
