[Cialug] IPMI Sensors issues/HP NetServer

[Jonathan Bailey]

Just finished installing Ubuntu Horay on an HP NetServer LC2000. I've gotten
RAID, etc working. The next step for me is getting the sensors working so I
can monitor them. As I understand, this particular server uses IPMI. Loaded
the IPMI modules and everything works except for the 'chassis' and 'sensor'
commands. Running 'ipmitool chassis status' gives me 'Error sending Chassis
Status command: Invalid command'. Also, running 'ipmitool sensors list' just
pauses for a few moments and then goes back to the prompt. Due to the sparse
docs, I'm posting here to see if anyone has sensors working on a NetServer.

Here is the IPMI mods I have loaded:
ipmi_si                29820  0
ipmi_devintf            7556  0
ipmi_msghandler        39752  2 ipmi_si,ipmi_devintf

root@sparky:~ # ipmitool -V
ipmitool version 1.8.1

root@sparky:~ # ipmitool -v -v sensor list

Seems to be seeing SOMETHING, but of couse I don't understand that list
much.. :-)
