[nycbug-talk] ipmi

[michael]

So.. I am looking over the bitchin' new ipmi output in OpenBSD from
'sysctl hw.sensors'.  This is really fantastic stuff.

I am thinking about what sensors to have sensorsd watch for me.  But
before I do, I have to figure out what each sensor is.  I've read the
man pages(man 3|8 sysctl), but still am not clear.  Anyone know much
about this?

How do I determine which sensor is which?  For instance, I have eight
generic Temps.. which is the CPU? 

How do I determine what good upper/lower limits should be?  Should I
reference the hardware owner's manual?
