I'm trying to remotely monitor temperature sensors within two Dell PowerEdge 6850's. I have a fear that the building we are in is turning off the air conditioning on the weekends to save power, which doesn't bode well for a server room which normally sits around 75 degrees anyway.
Google has lead me to looking into freeipmi
and the ipmi-sensors
command, which I got installed from ports but doesn't help much. I get this output:
# ipmi-sensors
Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped)
I'm at a loss on how to move forward. I no longer have physical access to the building on the weekends, so I need to do this monitoring remotely.
