8 years ago Hello,
I hope somebody else will back me up and confirm, but the representation is correct despite it looks otherwise.
5 is ideal state/number, eg. temperature. If something is above limit and going high, it's going worse, eg. 5 -> 10. If something is above limit and going low, it's going better, eg. 10 -> 5. If something is below limit and going low, it's going worse, eg. 5 -> 0. If something is below limit and going high, it's going better, eg. 0 -> 5.
I hope it makes sense. It took me couple minutes to realize. I did give a look to p. 503(p. 529 in PDF) in IPMIv2 specifiaction, section 42.1, table Generic Event/Reading Type Codes. Picture at p. 465(p. 491 in PDF) which explains hysteresis might explain this ... better.
Z.

Found the following log in one of the server with ipmitool
11 | active | 0x11 | Temperature | Any | Critical | Threshold | (0x01/0x0204),<LC,<UC | Alert | 1
As per the log Lower non critical - going low and upper critical going high states are configured. As per the code
pef_b2s_gentype_1 = { BIT_DESC_MAP_LIST, { {"<LNC", 0}, / '<' : getting worse / {">LNC", 1}, / '>' : getting better / {"<LC", 2}, {">LC", 3}, {"<LNR", 4}, {">LNR", 5}, {">UNC", 6}, {"<UNC", 7}, {">UC", 8}, {"<UC", 9}, {">UNR", 10}, {"<UNR", 11}, {NULL} } };
The bit 6 onwards the representation is wrong?
it should be pef_b2s_gentype_1 = { BIT_DESC_MAP_LIST, { {"<LNC", 0}, / '<' : getting worse / {">LNC", 1}, / '>' : getting better / {"<LC", 2}, {">LC", 3}, {"<LNR", 4}, {">LNR", 5}, {"<UNC", 6}, {">UNC", 7}, {"<UC", 8}, {">UC", 9}, {"<UNR", 10}, {">UNR", 11}, {NULL} } };
Upper critical going high action is configured >UC denotes better than <UC.
