is there a windows application to read the IPMI data on my HP ML110 G4 server? I need to monitor the temperature levels.

I can view raw IPMI data in the BIOS, but this is no use while the server is running!

This is tricky...

Older 100-series ProLiant servers lacked the management features of the higher-end 300-series. Much of this will depend on what hardware components you have installed in the server. There's no ProLiant Support Pack or health agent software for the ML110 G4. Also, do you have the Lights-Out LO100i management card installed/configured? That's the easiest approach.

The full set of software for Windows Server 2003 32-bit is here. (This server model predates Windows Server 2008!)

But my take on this is: These servers are pretty resilient. What is wrong in your environment where you need to specifically monitor temperature? And if you notice that there is something wrong with temperatures, what can you do about it? - What is the real problem you're trying to solve?

  • Nope, no Lights Out Card. Ideally I would be getting another server, but the rack mounted HP's take up so much space! It's running in a room without aircon, and I was a tad worried about the temp. It would also be nice to have access to the built in monitoring. – linuxthefish Jun 23 '13 at 19:05
  • You really don't need to monitor temperature. If you're worried about the room, don't put the server there. – ewwhite Jun 23 '13 at 19:33

A quick glance at the documentation, or a web search would have lead you to HP Systems Insight Manager, which is what you want to use for this.

  • I've tried installing this but it throws up "SQL server 2008 express R2 installation failed with exit code: -206857830". Someone said I would need a version of the software compatible with my server, but I can't find one! – linuxthefish Jun 23 '13 at 18:59
