How they are stored is implementation-specific. Generally, it is not circular,
but the records are a linked-list.
They are stored in the firmware’s NVRAM, and are intended as a persistent
records for a history, if problems occur.
Once the SEL fills up, no more records are stored there, until it is cleared.
This is by design, so that a flurry of repeated errors do not obscure the
original cause.
The last thing you did was to issue a delete command so the results you show
are not surprising.
Again, save off the SEL records by issuing ‘ipmitool sel >sel.log’ so that they
are saved somewhere, then clear the SEL.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for you info..
May i know how the the SEL records are recorded in the memory...
Please look the below logs....
# ipmitool sel info
SEL Information
Version : 1.5 (v1.5, v2 compliant)
Entries : 3008
Free Space : 0 bytes

Last Del Time : 06/23/2009 03:34:08

bc0 | 05/15/2009 | 02:06:03 | Processor #0x69 | Limit Not Exceeded
Last Add Time : 05/15/2009 02:06:03 --> Here the Last add date is lesser
than the delete date
Last Del Time : 06/23/2009 03:34:08
But the sel entries in "ipmitool sel list first 10" shows greater than last
Add/Del time....
How the SEL records are stored?
Is it record like circular ?
Thanks,
Gnana

It is very poor policy to only delete some of the SEL records. And perhaps
your MC firmware does not support deleting individual SEL records. You should
clear the entire SEL.
First, save the IPMI SEL contents by saving the ipmitool sel output to a file,
then clear the entire SEL.

Hi
I'm very new ipmitool....
I have to delete some of the entries in the SEL log. While attempting to
delete, i got
"Unable to delete entry 64: Invalid command". What is the procedure to delete
some of the entries in SEL logs.
the command that i issued was "ipmitool sel delete 0x40"
ipmitool version:
ipmitool -V
ipmitool version 1.8.10
Operating system: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) - Kernel
Please provide some info to proceed further....
