IPMI(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual IPMI(4)

NAME

ipmiIntelligent 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.
