Ok, must be something specific to Dell hardware, then. All our servers are
Dells of varying models. ipmitool sdr runs fine w/1.8.9, slow as molaasses
w/1.8.11

I tried both w/ and w/o cache. In both cases the runtime for 10
iterations were about 20 seconds. The same as the latest version.

Mark,
Try it again without the cache and see if there's any difference. I've
never used the cache feature before.

I'm seeing the same problem. My systems are Dell PowerEdge
servers running Gentoo. When using ipmitool 1.8.9, the sdr displays
everything in under a minute. After upgrading to 1.8.11, it takes
over 3 minutes. If I downgrade back to 1.8.9 the problem goes away,
so clearly it's caused by something within ipmitool.
[mjs] - interesting. I’m right in the middle at
1.8.10, so maybe the problem (if it is with ipmitool) was introduced
there? I’ll have to see if I can get a copy of 1.8.9, try it and
report back.

I’ve been using ipmitool inside my collectl monitoring tool for some
time now and it’s been fairly efficient, thanks to some optimizations from
this mailing list. However I’ve recently noticed it’s gotten much
slower and I don’t know if something has changed OR if it’s the actual
hardware architecture that’s doing this.
Specifically I’m running 1.8.10
Before running it I do:
ipmitool sdr dump xxx
followed by
ipmitool –S xxx sdr
while it’s using very little cpu time, it IS using a lot of elapsed
time which makes me wonder if it is something about the system
configuration. I do know for a fact that when I first started using
it with the cache, the cache I was able to get the runtimes much lower.
My reason for asking is I do a mix of monitoring activities with
collectl and gather the ipmi data only every couple of minutes, but I
something use a monitoring interval of 1 second for the other data and the
slowness of ipmitool prevents this. If it is what it is, so be it but
I just want to make sure it’s not me.
