I don't know how 'ipmievd' works but if you want to fetch the SEL from 0x9a, 
you should use 'ipmitool'.

ipmitool -H ... -U ... -P ..... -m 0x20 -t 0x9a sel

>>Error: Unable to establish LAN session
>>Unable to open interface

Try : "ipmitool -H ... -U ... -P .....  mc info" first to test the LAN 
connection

Once this works, you should be able to run  "ipmitool -H .... -U ///// -P 
........ -m 0x20 -t 0x9a mc info" or  "ipmitool -H .... -U ///// -P ........ -m 
0x20 -t 0x9a lan print 1" (assuming the target implements IOL on channel 1)

Hope this helps

Hi All,
I have been trying to monitor a chassis using the ipmievd tool. It logs the 
events in the syslog of the remote machine but I am unable to understand where 
these events originate (which board). Following is a snapshot of the messages 
that are logged:
ipmievd: System Firmware Progress sensor - Primary CPU initialization
ipmievd: System Firmware Progress sensor - Management controller initialization
ipmievd: System Boot Initiated sensor - Initiated by warm reset
ipmievd: System Firmware Progress sensor - Option ROM initialization
ipmievd: System Firmware Progress sensor - Option ROM initialization
ipmievd: System Firmware Error sensor - Unrecoverable hard-disk controller 
failure
ipmievd: System Firmware Progress sensor - System boot initiated
Also I tried using -m ipmbadd -t slave_address but it gives the following error 

ipmievd -H ... -U ... -P ..... -m 0x20 -t 0x9a sel
ipmievd: using pidfile /var/run/ipmievd.pid0
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Unable to open interface


Could anyone please tell me whether something is wrong with my understanding or 
if I am doing anything wrong ?




Thanks in Advance,

Amul
