NAME
ipmi —
Intelligent Platform Management
Interface driver
SYNOPSIS
ipmi0 at mainbus?
DESCRIPTION
The
ipmi device driver supports motherboards implementing the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface version 1.5 or 2.0, and exports
sensors and the watchdog through the
envsys(4) interface.
EVENTS
The
ipmi driver is able to send events to
powerd(8) when a sensor's state
has changed. Intrusion sensors will send a
critical event
when state is not ok. Power Supply sensors will send a
critical event when the Power Supply unit is not installed
and
warning-over when the Power Supply unit is installed but
not powered on. Fan, temperature and voltage sensors will send
critical-over or
critical-under when the
value is very critical, or
warning-over or
warning-under if it's in a warning alert.
