Displaying Sensor Information Using the IPMI Viewer
The IPMI Viewer window is used to graphically display reported sensor information in the
DSView management software. When you click IPMI Session in a Unit View window, the IPMI
Viewer window appears in a separate web browser window.
The information graphically displayed using gauges in the IPMI Session window may vary
between IPMI 1.5 target devices, due to the type of sensors in the BMC. For example, if a BMC
does not contain a sensor that displays voltage information, that gauge will not appear in the IPMI
Viewer window. You may specify how often information is refreshed in the IPMI Viewer window.
