600.1 | Temperature available in a future release. | STAR::jacobi.zko.dec.com::jacobi | Paul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Systems Group | Tue May 13 1997 14:20 | 8 |
| Currently there is no way to obtain the temperature under OpenVMS.
In a future release, we plan to make the system temperature available
to a remote PC running ServerWorks.

600.2 | re .1: how about local access too? | BBPBV1::WALLACE | john wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093 | Tue May 13 1997 17:37 | 7 |
| I could read .1 as meaning "you can't get at it locally, you will
need a PC".
Can I safely assume that's NOT what you meant ?

600.3 | Local hack will be available | STAR::jacobi.zko.dec.com::jacobi | Paul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Systems Group | Wed May 14 1997 15:15 | 16 |
| The only documented and support way to obtain the temperature is via
a remote PC with ServerWorks. The OpenVMS system must be running UCX
V4.1 TCP/IP networking, plus some additional software planned for a
future release of OpenVMS.
I can supply a small test program which uses new undocumented
$GETSYI item codes to obtain the information. This test program will
not be supported or documented.
Note the temperature sensor is located on the I2C bus, which requires
a several thousand line device driver to support the bus protocal.
