Hello,
could someone pls explain in which relation the "Entity ID Code" (IPMI
spec v2 table 43.13) and the "Sensor Type" (IMPMI v2 spec. table 42.3)
are ?
The sensor type is a classification of the sensor itself, while entity ids are used for grouping sensors and/or associating them with parent/children. The entity ID layout for a system should result in a tree that gives a hierarchy of the system as indicated by the sensors. The sensor types are what is used to tell what type of reading/states the sensor can return.
Sensor ID : Fan 4 Tach (0x43)
Entity ID : 29.4 (Fan Device)
Sensor Type (Analog) : Fan
Sensor Reading : 1890 (+/- 0) RPM
The sensor type which i can get with "sdr elist" is alway displayed as a
string by ipmitool. Is there a way to get it as a number to check it
with the IPMI specs ?
There doesn't seem to be any output left that includes the raw sensor type, though they can be derived from the array in include/ipmitool/ipmi_sdr:sensor_type_desc[]. Alternatively I could have the verbose output indicate the sensor type in numeric format...
