As usual Albert is correct. The root cause of this is IPMI. Note that it's note a problem, it's just the way IPMI works If you use a API, in this case Java http://www.jblade.com/JbDoc2/products/retuli/ipmiDC/doc/programmers/RetuliIpmiCXProgrammersGuideOverview.html It's under sensors reading or SDR repository. to interact with IPMI, there is no problem and you can interpret the output and act acccordingly.
