There is also perl code to do automated fru area 0 rewrite (i.e. to pull in asset tag) from xCAT tables (essentially allowing a mass merge of CSV data for arbitrarily many systems in one shot (including serial, model, and asset tag data) to IPMI FRU area). It isn't well advertised as it won't work on a non-trivial number of systems that have read-only fru 0.

|Re: [Ipmitool-devel] FRU editing functionality

>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Thanks Corey for the feedback for the info on openipmigui. The reason i'm
looking for a ipmitool or ipmiutil approach is because my systems are
embedded and its just easier to automate. I will look into openipmigui, can
I exercise the gui editor over RMCP over LAN?

Hi Developers:
I wonder has anyone did or is planning to add a full FRU editor feature
to "ipmiutil fru" or "ipmitool fru" functionality? Right ipmiutil only
allows changes to the "Asset Tag" field. I am interested in changing
"Product Version" and "Product Serial Number".
OpenIPMI has a full (graphical!) FRU editor as part of openipmigui. It's
more of a chore to get it working, though. This would be a hard thing to
cover generally in ipmitool or ipmiutil. And it was really hard to write
(the infrastructure, not the GUI part), so I thought I would advertise
it :-).
