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.
HISTORY
The ipmi driver first appeared in OpenBSD 3.9 and was then ported to NetBSD 4.0.
AUTHORS
The ipmi driver was originally written by Jordan Hargrave and was ported to NetBSD by Manuel Bouyer <bouyer@NetBSD.org>.
