Hi, I don't know what's wrong with your bmc, but to set up your PEF, you should try pef-config out of the FreeIPMI-Tools. To set your pef-table with ipmitool, you would have to send raw-ipmi-commands :-(
With pef-config, you can "download" the whole pef-table in a human-readable format. Then you edit the file (enter the sensor-id and offset-mask for your watchdog-sensor and the event-action, blablub...) and commit it to the bmc. For the offset mask, you should take a look into the ipmi-specs. Of course, you have to activate the ipmi-watchdog-daemon in your OS.
