10. 6 S e ns o rs I mp l emented on the Board
The IPMI controller includes several sensors for voltage or temperature monitoring and various others
for pass/fail type signal monitoring. Every sensor is associated with a Sensor Data Record (SDR). Sen-
sor Data Records contain information about the sensor's identification such as sensor type, sensor
name, and sensor unit. SDRs also contain the configuration of a specific sensor such as threshold, hys-
teresis or event generation capabilities that specify the sensor's behavior. Some fields of the sensor
SDR are configurable using IPMI commands, others are always set to built-in default values.
The IPMI controller supports sensor device commands and uses the static sensor population feature of
IPMI. All Sensor Data Records can be queried using Device SDR commands.
The sensor name (ID string) has a name prefix which is 'NNN:' in the lists below. When reading the sen-
sor name after board insertion, this prefix becomes automatically adapted to the role (BMC or SMC) and
the physical position (slot number) of the board in a rack. If the IPMI controller is set up as a BMC, the
prefix will be 'BMC:' independent of the slot where it resides. If the IPMI controller is set up as an SMC,
the prefix will be 'Sxx:' where xx is the slot number (e.g. 09).
The sensor number is the number which identifies the sensor e.g. when using the IPMI command Get
Sensor Reading. Please note that "ipmitool" accepts sensor numbers in decimal (e.g. "10") or
hexadecimal (e.g. "0xa") notation.
The IPMI tool "ipmitool" displays for the command "ipmitool sdr list" the contents of the sensor data
record repository (SDRR) of the whole rack if the SDRR has been generated. The generation of the SDRR
must always be redone after adding or removing a board from the rack. For further information, refer
to the IPMI Firmware User Guide, section "IPMI Setup for the Rack".
