.Sh NAME
.Nm esm
.Nd Dell Embedded Server Management
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "esm0 at mainbus?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the monitoring of the environmental sensors
present in a variety of Dell servers.
The hardware monitoring is accessed via the
.Va hw.sensors
.Xr sysctl 8
variable.
.Pp
Devices compatible with the
.Nm
driver can provide an arbitrary set of sensors which may include the
following types:
.Bl -column "temperature" "Units" -offset indent
.It Sy "Sensor" Ta Sy "Units"
.It Li "temperature" Ta "uK"
.It Li "fan" Ta "RPM"
.It Li "volts" Ta "uVDC"
.El
.Pp
Sensor data is updated every 10 seconds.
.Pp
The Embedded Server Management framework has been replaced in more recent
Dell systems with the Intelligent Platform Management Interface.
Servers using the Intelligent Platform Management Interface may be
monitored by the
.Xr ipmi 4
driver.
.Sh WATCHDOG
ESM provides
.Xr watchdog 4
timer functionality.
Once configured, if the watchdog is not reset within
a certain period of time,
it will timeout and the server will reset.
The reset will occur regardless of the recoverability of the hang or crash.
.Pp
Example of enabling a watchdog:
.Pp
.Dl # sysctl kern.watchdog.period=10
.Pp
In this case if the watchdog is not reset,
it'll reboot the server after roughly 10 seconds.
.Pp
Example of disabling the watchdog:
.Pp
.Dl # sysctl kern.watchdog.period=0

.Nm
driver first appeared in

driver was written by
