7. Sensors Implemented on the CP6003-SA/RA/RC
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). Sensor 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, hysteresis or
event generation capabilities that specify 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 sensor 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 con-
troller 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 com-
mand Get Sensor Reading. Please note that “ipmitool” accepts sensor numbers in deci-
mal (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 gener-
ation of the SDRR must always be redone after adding or removing a board from the rack. Re-
fer to Chapter 2.3, IPMI Setup for the Rack for further information.
