Certainly. Yes, some (probably most) IPMI hardware does not use interrupts, and unfortunately, it's not just older machines. The driver used to poll more slowly, but in many cases the performance was unacceptable.
... but now it burns quite a bit of power (I'd not be surprised if it is 10 Watts extra on a 70W server) is there any way to poll slowly until there is active ipmi traffic, during which we can then poll a bit faster. ... and then go back to slow polling when there is an ipmi idle period ? _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lesswatts.org/listinfo/discuss
