Hello Ppl,
I would really appreciate a reply to all these questions. I really would like
to learn more about IPMI.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] Few Questions
Hello All,
I am tyring to read the SDR information from Dell PowerEdge2950 servers. It
reads certain number of sensor information correctly and when it comes to
reading certain type = 02H sensors, the Get SDR returns a Sensor ID value = B1H
and thus the Get Sensor Reading is routed to the particular Slave address.
Everytime this happens the Get Sensor Reading command is sent as a Send Message
and it times out in all my machines. Can some one explain why this is happening?
My second question is when I use the Get POH command in the same Dell
Poweredge2950 machine, I get back a C1H completion code, which equates to
unrecognized or unsupported command. How do I find out that some commands are
not supported in a BMC?
My third question is, the BMC times out every 60 seconds where there is no
communication in the existing session.. I am trying to increase this time
limit, is there a way to change it using any of the commands? I checked in the
BIOS settings of the BMC and seems like it is not configurable.
I now have a very good understanding of how ipmitool works(in terms of the
code) and would be interested in doing any development for this project. I am
new to open source development, it would be nice if you guys can let me know if
there is like a to-do list for this project.
Thanks in advance for your time. I appreciate it.
Rajesh
