Topic: sme7admin sensors

[smeerbartje]

Hi, I have a small server which runs SME server 7.4

• Antec Piano Black Slimline Micro ATX PC Case 350 Watt 80PLUS certified power supply (€91,35, link)
  
• Intel Johannesburg S775 Q35 MATX (DQ35JO) (€98,31, Link)
  
• Intel Core2Duo E7300 2,66Ghz / 1066FSB (€95,70, Link)
  
• Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 500GB SATAII 3.5I" 7200RPM 16MB 0A35415 (€50,03, Link)
  
• Kingston 2GB 800MHZ DDR2 NON-ECC CL6 DIMM (€30,45)
• Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter - PCI (€22,62, Link)
  

Now my problem is that sme7admin cannot find the onboard temperature sensors. When I try to run the "/usr/sbin/sensors-detect"-script, here is the output:

Code: [Select]

[root@server ~]# /usr/sbin/sensors-detect

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all
questions, unless you know what you're doing.

 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.
 Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found.

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
 i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no):
 Module loaded succesfully.

 We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
 through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
 we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
 If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
 specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

 Sorry, no chips were detected.
 Either your sensors are not supported, or they are
 connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support.

What should I do? My motherboard is redhat compatible. I really would like to monitor temperatures. What do you suggest?

[thomasch]

what is the output of :

Code: [Select]

sensors -v ??

I bet installed lm_sensors is not compatible with latest SME kernel.
You need at least lm_sensors 2.8.8 for the current SME 7.4 kernel.
redhat compatible does not means it is lm_sensors compatible.

For now, I don't know what is the shortest path to upgrade lm_sensors for SME server. Don't have time to research maybe next weekend.
But I know http://www.lm-sensors.org is releasing new versions.

Both of you, thank you very much! I'm now behind a firewall at work, so will try when I 'm back at home.

[smeerbartje]

After updating to the latest version of lm_sensors, still no sensors were found. After installing and rebooting, the first output of the command "sensors" is:

[root@server ~]# sensors
Can't access procfs/sysfs file
Unable to find i2c bus information;
For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and done
'modprobe i2c_sensor'!
For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!
[root@vserver ~]#

output of "/usr/sbin/sensors-detect"

 IF THIS IS AN IBM THINKPAD, PRESS CTRL-C NOW!
 IBM Thinkpads have a severely broken i2c/SMBus implementation, just scanning
 the bus will break your Thinkpad forever!
 If this is a non-Thinkpad IBM, we still suggest you press CTRL+C. We have
 had users reporting system breakage on other IBM systems as well.

Now when I run sensors, I get:

[root@server ~]# sensors
No sensors found!

What to do next? It looks like my chipset/sensors are not detected well.

[Stefano]

just a question.. what's the output of

Code: [Select]

lsmod | grep i2c
?

Hi, here it is:

in this case I think your chipset is not supported.. check on lm_sensor web site for updates.

[smeerbartje]

Okay, thank you for your response. Is there anything I can do to make use of the sensors on my mainboard/chipset (q35)?

Is there anything I can do to make use of the sensors on my mainboard/chipset (q35)?

apart helping lm_sensor developers with your feedback, no.
