Hi,
perhaps someone is interested in this:
Got a SuperMicro system, X7DBR-E with AOC-SIMSO+. (yes, it's one of these
nifty Woodcrest dual-dual systems.)
While installation of Debian took some time (no vanilla kernel has support
for the new Gilgal gigE chip), I was able to connect to the IPMI card,
using ipmitool 1.8.9/cvs on my laptop.
Firmware version of the IPMI is 00.10.00 build 3458 (pre-beta???).
Some features showed up:
. CPU2 Temp B has no reading
. 1.5V sensor returns 3V (beyond the thresholds)
. trying to read the BIOS entry fails if the box is off
. if I plug in power for the first time, chassis power on doesn't work (if the
system had been powered on for a short time, and switched off by ipmitool
or power button, it works!)
. 'chassis poh' returns random nnumbers going up and down
. 'bmc guid' timestamp is in the future (2012) - this seems to be a common
problem though as my Opteron box (H8DAR + 1UIPMI) shows the same
. 'fru print' does return empty serial numbers (board & product) - same with
Opteron
. 'chassis status' shows "power button disable: allowed" and "power button
disabled: true" - nevertheless it works (fortunately...) - these disables
are not available on the Opteron
I suppose SM has to do some homework now. Any suggestions how to give them
additional information?
Cheers,
Steffen
