Hi Timo,

sensors is also my goto utility for temperature. However, they do not have a drive for the 'old' 2850. perl sensors-detect Driver `to-be-written': * ISA bus, address 0xca8 Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 8) Note: there is no driver for IPMI BMC KCS yet.

I was able to get it going using OpenIPMI/ipmiutil and also freeipmi. ipmiutil seems to have more detailed reports. Note that hddtemp also does not work on the 2850 since S.M.A.R.T is not available. Hope this helps somebody.

Thanks -Surya

I am trying to get the temperature of a Poweredge 2850 with CentOS 6.3 on it. Has anybody on this list done this successfully? Thanks

Install 'lm_sensors' and run 'sensors-detect' to check what it finds.

On an 2950:

PS: Apologies for cross posting if you are on the Poweredge list.
