>> Can some one explain why this is happening? It is possible that the slave address is not populated for some reading, you can dig up the entity id/entity instance and sensor name to better guess if it's normal, see http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/spec.htm for SDR interpretation data.. Otherwise, the bridging code my not be working properly if the local address (0x20) is not properly set, you can try "ipmitool -m <src> -t <dest>" for force bridging.

In the vendor's documentation, you can use the "Manufacturer ID/ Product ID" fields in "Table 20-2, Get Device ID Command" to identify the board in your code. >>My third question is, the BMC times out every 60 seconds where there is no >>communication in the existing session..

I really would like to learn more about IPMI. Thanks, Rajesh ________________________________________ From: rajesh ganesh <rajeshganesh2...@yahoo.com> To: ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 2:20:27 PM 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.
