Developer blog: dlg: esm on the poweredge 4400

Contributed by dlg on from the dept.

I installed OpenBSD on a spare PowerEdge 4400 at work last night to see if our esm driver worked on it well. I would just like to say... HOLY CRAP! I usually try to write stuff in here that may be useful, but this time I just want to show off.

There are 124 sensors found on the 4400. There were a few bugs with the code from last night, namely the voltage sensors on one of the backplanes had values that were off by a factor of ten, and the amp sensors were just totally wrong. I spent a few minutes today on it and now both these issues are fixed in -current.

Here is what you can monitor via esm on the 4400:

Apart from the misinterpretion of the values coming off the hardware, the code worked fine. I think the fact that this gave me warm fuzzies proves im too much of a geek :(

    Nice... Do you think this will make into the next release? (3.9)
    Let me just say that I really admire and appreciate all the work you folks do on this fine OS.
    I've been buying the CDs and paraphernelia since 3.6 and they are worth every penny.
    Too bad some of the hardware vendors are too short-sighted to share their documentation with the project.
    Keep up the great work.

      This is part of 3.9.

      Nice!. I've been promoting openbsd for 2 years now. I can't wait for the next release. Keep up the good work. You guys make me wish that I could code and contribute.

        If you can't provide code, perhaps you can provide hardware, or money, or pressure on vendors to release documentation?

        I would contribute code, but my employment contract pretty much makes anything I write company property, so instead I give $,$$$.$$

        I'd like to donate hardware, but my employer also has a strict policy that old gear can only be disposed of by either shredder or donating to a 501(c)3 charity that is on a very short list. (So a lot of nice stuff goes into the shredder)

          That stinks that all that nice hardware just gets trashed! It always amazes me how we live in a throw-away society now. Keeping on track with the other posts, I also thank OpenBSD for all the work they have done. I will also contribute and buy CD's and T-Shirts! Thanks again, Peter

            We actually couldn't find anyone to take a bunch of our old PIII desktops. The local school systems turned their noses up at them. So we donated them to a K-12 linux lab in Armenia. Our CIO nearly shat himself when he found out where we sent them.

              In no small part for the shipping costs I'd bet.

        2. By Anonymous Coward (128.171.90.200) on

          Quite a number of things on the want list are fairly cheap inexpensive items.

          Obviously it is a lot for one developer to buy or for the project to fund, but is reasonably cheap for someone to contribute.

    This is especially cool for me, as I own one of these and can't wait to play with this!
