Does lm_sensors support HP Proliant DL320 G2 machine? (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors 2.8.7 Linux 2.4.21 enterprise)

[contact]

Hi there,

I have run the sensors-detect already. When I run it the first time, it tells

to load the i2c-piix4 and eeprom drivers and I did. Then I run sensors, it

only listed the eeprom version and adaptor etc. No measurements such as

voltages and fan speeds being listed.

While checking the supported chips by the lm_sensors, it includes ServerWorks?

OSB4, CSB5, CSB6 but in HP Proliant DL320 motherboard, the main chipset is GC-

SL. Will this i2c-piix4 work fine with this or not? If not supported now, are

you going to update the drivers in the near future or could I have any

alternatives to make it work (we have 24 this type of machines, we are

desperate to get the monitoring work)?

Cheers,

Jim --- If sensors listed the eeproms, it means that the i2c-piix4 driver works properly

with your ServerWorks? chip. The ServerWorks? chip, however, is only really a

bridge to I2C/SMBus devices, not a hardware monitoring chip by itself.

So, since sensors-detect didn't find any hardware monitoring device, either

there aren't any, or they are not known to us yet. You can send the full output

of sensors-detect to the sensors mailing-list for a detailed analysis. However,

know that Compaq has a long history of proprietary hardware monitoring systems

that lm_sensors cannot possibly support. This may be the case for this machine

as well.
