Hi, I haven't played around with setting thresholds much, but I'm not sure you're missing anything (unless we both are). Your command appears to have been constructed and sent ok to me (see Table 35-8 in the IPMI 2.0 Spec). I tried running your set thresholds command on one of my boxes, and both the upper non-critical and upper non-recoverable threshold values were set fine. However, the upper critical threshold setting failed with the same error you got for (unfortunately) all 3 of your threshold settings (cc == Invalid data field ....). # ipmitool sensor list ... CPU 1 Temp | 38.000 | degrees C | ok | na | na | na | 85.000 | na | 95.000 ... # ipmitool sensor thresh "CPU 1 Temp" upper 60 65 70 Locating sensor record 'CPU 1 Temp'... Setting sensor "CPU 1 Temp" Upper Non-Critical threshold to 60.000 Setting sensor "CPU 1 Temp" Upper Critical threshold to 65.000 Error setting threshold: Invalid data field in request Setting sensor "CPU 1 Temp" Upper Non-Recoverable threshold to 70.000 # ipmitool sensor list ... CPU 1 Temp | 40.000 | degrees C | ok | na | na | na | 60.000 | na | 70.000 Maybe you've got a firmware issue? Anyway, hope this is of some help, Carol ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
