Re: [Freeipmi-devel] support for sensors of IBM Server System x3850 X5

[Albert Chu]

Hi Werner, Kurt,

The support should be there in this branch.

svn co http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/freeipmi/branches/ibmx3850x5

can you please check it out and LMK if it works for you.

./autogen.sh; ./configure ; ipmi-sensors/ipmi-sensors --output-sensor-state

Should be enough to test it out on the node (or add appropriate options
to run out of band).
