Oops, forgot to cut and paste in what the payload was supposed to look like:
[ 20h] = cmd[ 8b] [ 0h] = comp_code[ 8b] [ 1h] = sdr_version_major[ 4b] [ 5h] = sdr_version_minor[ 4b] [ 20h] = record_count[16b] [ FFFEh] = free_space[16b] [ 0h] = most_recent_addition_timestamp[32b] [ 0h] = most_recent_erase_timestamp[32b] [ 0h] = get_sdr_repository_allocation_info_command_supported[ 1b] [ 1h] = reserve_sdr_repository_command_supported[ 1b] [ 0h] = partial_add_sdr_command_supported[ 1b] [ 0h] = delete_sdr_command_supported[ 1b] [ 0h] = reserved[ 1b] [ 2h] = modal_non_modal_sdr_repository_update_operation_supported[ 2b] [ 0h] = overflow_flag[ 1b] Al On Tue, 2010-11-09 at 10:21 -0800, Al Chu wrote: > Hi James, > > Gut feeling is that something is wrong with the BMC on that motherboard. > > > [ 0h] = record_count[ 8b] > > > > ipmi_sdr_cache_create: internal IPMI error > > > [ 1Ch] = record_count[16b] > > > > [ 80h] = free_space[ 8b] > > > > ipmi_sdr_cache_create: internal IPMI error > > In the first payload above, you receive a 0 record_count, which is of > course very bad.
