Topic: sme7admin not detecting hdd temp and cpu temp etc...

[ber]

system: sme 7.5 P4, 2.4GHZ, 1GB RAM, 2*80 SATA Drives (RAID 1), server only mode.

Motherboard:description:    Desktop Computer, M2N-MX, ASUSTeK Computer INC.

hi ive migrated my system onto a new hardware and am having problems detecting the cpu/mb and hdd temp.
Ive had the contrib running on my old hardware after much work but the new hardware doesnt seem to be reading the temp sensors being displayed in the graphs.

Ive installed sme7admin and is running on my system. it displays the network and system performance data but am not getting any temp data- hdd temp,M/B temp, CPU temp.

sensor data:


[root@server ~]# sensors

VCore 1:   +1.47 V  (min =  +4.08 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM

fan2:        0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 2)
fan3:        0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 2)
M/B Temp:    +32°C  (low  =    -1°C, high =    -1°C)   sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp:    +32°C  (low  =    -1°C, high =    -1°C)   sensor = thermistor
Temp3:      +128°C  (low  =    -1°C, high =    -1°C)   sensor = disabled

I try and run the utility to get the hdd temp data but nothing is dsplayed:

[root@server ~]# hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: ATA WDC WD800JD-00LS: S.M.A.R.T. not available
[root@server ~]# hddtemp /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: ATA WDC WD800JD-60LS: S.M.A.R.T. not available

Ive checked the BIOS and the SMART feature is enabled.- cant detect any hard disk temp??

also when running the following commands i can get the fan speed data displayed but would need to run the utility everytime i need to reboot the server.

modprobe it87

this is the output when i run the sensor detect utility

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above
will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should
try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly.
Monitoring programs won't work until it's done.

Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no):
Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors
for initialization at boot time.


Can anyone advise how best to resolve this??

Can somneone also advise in as best laymans terms what this command means- i'm a little confused what file/data i am to copy to...propably why the fan data is not being displayed at every reboot.

Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no):

happy to provide more data to disgnose the problem.

Thanks John

Just do exactly what it says:

1. create /etc/modules.conf

# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

2. add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended

3.add to sme7admin config section the sensors: fan1, M/B Temp, CPU Temp

4.reboot the server, just did this myself on an older Asus mobo and it works

Unfortunately adding sda and sdb generates no sense sata errors in the log.

Hi bunksobugsy, thanks for the reply- i followed your instructions and step two was the key instruction which i was not aware of. I did not fully understand the instruction

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

as you have mentioned i need to add the configurations that is generated to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

Fan, data is now being displayed, I have two other data displayed which I'm not sure whether its CPU, M/B or Hard drive values- they are 29 and 28 degree's.- they seem low for CPU or m/B as listed when I run sensors in bash

[root@server ~]#

do i need to calibrate the sensors at all?? are these values correct to you?

Once I'm assured of what they are is there any way of changing the data labels display in the graphs so that it displays CPU or M/B rather than Temp1 and Temp2

is it possible to display the hard disk data?

Thanks again.

[bunkobugsy]

AFAIK that's about what you can do, sensors look right.
Try adding sda and sdb but for me it kept generating no sense sata errors in the log.

Hey thanks for the help- just that little bit f info was all i needed- thats the beauty of forums.

BTW do you know what the temp3 data could be- its reading 128 degrees celcius- seems very high-

[bunkobugsy]

Temp3:      +128°C  (low  =   +15°C, high =   +45°C)   sensor = disabled

it's not present on the mobo (same here), that's why it says disabled
