I don't have any rpms installed with "ipmi" or "IPMI" in the name, and no ipmi service defined. It's just strange because I can't reproduce the need for this dependency, so I'm not surprised Dell hasn't defined it, yet it's clearly causing issues for folks... From: Brandon Ooi [mailto:brand...

Fabio, Most of the voltage sensors are discrete and only report a good/bad indication without an actual reading. That is why the thresholds are marked as N/A. You should look at the system event log (SEL) and verify that there is an error reported there as well. Most times a voltage completel
