arcress0 / ipmiutil

ipmiutil is an easy to use set of IPMI server management utilities. It can get/set sensor readings & thresholds, automate SEL management, do SOL console, etc. Supports Linux, Windows, BSD, Solaris, MacOSX. The only IPMI project tool that runs natively on Windows. See http://ipmiutil.sf.net for rpms, etc. (formerly called panicsel). It can run driverless in Linux for use on boot media or embedded environments.

ipmiutil sensor displays wrong value with sensor larger than 255 #10

Open vien20010 opened 1 year ago

vien20010 commented 1 year ago

Step to reproduce: ipmiutil sensor -N <BMC_IP> -U <BMC_USER> -P <BMC_PASSWORD> -F lan2

Expected result: All sensors will return the same reading value and state with ipmitool result.

Actual result All sensors with sensor id > 255 will return wrong value.

The sensor id is defined as 1 byte in the IPMI spec, and it is stored as an integer in ipmiutil/isensor.c I need to see the debug output to see what is going wrong. Can you send me the debug output, adding -x to the command?

vien20010 commented 1 year ago

ipmiutil use Get Sensor Reading command which defines 1 byte sensor ID in IPMI v2 spec, session 35.14 image image

arcress0 commented 1 year ago

I missed that. So since the IPMI spec only has one byte for the sensor number, what method does other software use to address sensor numbers > 255 on this firmware?

arcress0 commented 1 year ago

Since this is beyond the IPMI specification, I need to know what firmware/platform/software uses sensor numbers greater than 255.
