Dick,
the alert string key from the second system has bit7 set (0x80), which
indicates that this policy is event specific (0x80). See
ipmi_pef_list_policies() in ipmi_pef.c. In my (old) copy of the sources this is
in line 687.
Hope this helps,
Holger

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] Easy question re: output formats and another about
exec.
Hi all,
I am using ipmitool's lanplus interface to query pef policy's from multiple
SP's so I can aggregate the info. The problem is the information returned is
not consistent between SP types. In the case I am dealing with now, if the
policy is not event-specific, the output contains one less field than other
SP's whose policies are event-specific. Here is the output:
# ipmitool -I lanplus -L ADMINISTRATOR+ -H 192.168.96.70 pef policy
1 | 1 | Match-always | 1 | 802.3 LAN | PET | public | 0 | 0 | 0.0.0.0 |
00:00:00:00:00:00
# ipmitool -I lanplus -L ADMINISTRATOR+ -H 192.168.96.51 pef policy
1 | 1 | Match-always | true | 1 | 802.3 LAN | PET | public | 10 | 1 |
10.20.30.40 | 00:00:00:00:00:00
Obviously, there must be different output depending on the data coming back -
so I went looking through the source to see how the results of this command are
formatted and output to the user without any luck. I looked for printf's and
tried to follow from ipmi_pef.c or mai_pef.c back toward ipmitool.c without
success. The online documentation I googled hardly scratches the surface of
the implementation - at least what I found.
Is this because the text string is formatted by the SP and sent over the
network to the requestor? Or am I just too blind to see it? If it's coming
back from the SP's is there some standard (funny, I know) for what this output
is supposed to look like or contain?
Also while I am here. Am I guaranteed all the commands in the file passed to
ipmitool via the exec command will be executed in one session?
Thanks for any help,
Dick
