[Freeipmi-devel] Supermicro X8DTL-3F CPU1 Temp, CPU2 Temp, PS Status sensors query issues

[Werner Fischer]

Hi Al,

when querying a Supermicro X8DTL-3F mainboard (Hardware Revision 2.01,
IPMI Firmware Rev. 2.02) I have found two issues:
     1. the 'CPU1 Temp' and 'CPU2 Temp' OEM sensors cannot currently be
        interpreted
     2. the 'PS Status' sensor does not return a sensor state (only
        N/A), as there are additional 'Unrecognized Events'

Maybe you could look into this and add some functionality in future
FreeIPMI versions so that they can query those three sensors
successfully.

Best regards,
Werner

PS #1: The X8DTL-3F has the WPCM450 chip with ATEN software for IPMI -
see http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/SMT_IPMI_Manual.pdf Some
other Supermicro X8 have the same chip but with AMI software - see
http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/SMT_IPMI_Manual.pdf - so maybe
the OEM data may be slightly different between them...
PS #2: Below I have attached outputs of ipmi-sensors 1.0.1 for detailed
information. If you need further infos, just let me know.
