For HP, you should get the data if you install the Insight Manager agents.
I didn't install any software from HP on the HP machine. After half-an- hour searching on the site I finally found an "hpasm" package that seems to be it. They make it really hard to find it as it doesn't appear when searching for "drivers and software" for the server. Unfortunately, that didn't change anything. hpasmd is running, but hpasmcli just hangs when I try it out. There was an hp-OpenIPMI packaged mentioned, I'll search for that - tomorrow. Thanks for the hint, anyway.
IMHO, the HP Support site is *very* difficult to navigate, if one is not there frequently; in comparison to the Dell Support site. Once you get to the right place, they probably have what you need. I won a Compaq Evo D300v some years ago in a raffle. The BIOS in it seems far advanced, compared to our 4 Dell Dimension boxes, because it is for Enterprise use.
