Hey Chris, Two thoughts: A) Are there any vendor provided tools that are able to access the sensors? Sort of to prove to ourselves the sensors do indeed work. B) Have you done any out-of-band/network communication with the ipmi tools? Although hard to believe this is the case, I suppose its conceivable some BMC features might not work in-band but will work out- of-band.
