The agent supports monitoring of hardware parameters such as fan speeds, temperatures, voltages etc. by means of the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) standard on supported server and operating system combinations.
Hardware monitoring with IPMI is supported on these operating systems:
Intel provides an IPMI driver free of charge which can be used on these systems. The driver can be downloaded from the Intel driver download page. This driver is fully supported by the SysOrb Agent.
Microsoft provides an IPMI driver as part of the operating system. It is no installed by default, but can be installed by following the instructions from the TechNet article "Enabling Hardware Management". This driver is fully supported by the SysOrb Agent.
Most modern Linux distributions ship with Linux kernels from the 2.6 series, and include an OpenIPMI driver. This driver is fully supported by the SysOrb Agent.
