[Freeipmi-users] HP ProLiant ML310 G5 does not support fan reading?

[Frantisek Hanzlik]

I just tried freeipmi (0.8.8 and 1.0.4) on this small server.
"ipmi-sensors" give output:

ID | Name            | Type         | Reading    | Units | Event
1  | Int. Health LED | OEM Reserved | N/A        | N/A   | 'OEM Event = 0000h'
2  | VRM (CPU1)      | Power Unit   | N/A        | N/A   | 'Device 
Inserted/Device Present'
3  | CPU Fan         | Fan          | N/A        | N/A   | 'transition to 
Running'
4  | Rear Fan        | Fan          | N/A        | N/A   | 'transition to 
Running'
5  | Temp 1          | Temperature  | 32.00      | C     | 'OK'
6  | Temp 2          | Temperature  | 30.00      | C     | 'OK'
7  | Temp 3          | Temperature  | 22.00      | C     | 'OK'

I'm surprised, as there are no fan rotation speed values, nor some
other values, as if they were not available - "N/A" in "Reading"
column. Although it is entry-level server, sensors for these values
now have even cheapest desktops, I'm right?

Is possible that server cannot measure these values, or may be
there another problem?
