That would be my guess. Different servers and vendors provide different levels of information in the SDRs. OpenIPMI (and ipmitool, for that matter) can only handle what is in the SDRs or standardized. I don't have much experience with HP or Dell servers, so I can't really speak much about them.
You might want to look for firmware upgrades, BTW. > Or OpenIPMI 1.4.14 is not very compatible with HP DL360 G2?

What is the different between > OpenIPMI 1.4.x and 2.0.x? OpenIPMI 2.0.x has some new features and RMCP+, but nothing really different as far as compatibility, and probably not much that would affect you (unless you are viewing/editing FRU data; in that case 2.0.x is quite a bit better). And OpenIPMI 2.0.x has a GUI. -corey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
