Hank, thank you for your reply. I'm aware of they're dynamic and such, yet they've proven to be very useful in # ipmitool sensor get SENSOR_ID; use-case and are much faster than using IPMI name. If somebody is about to say it was a bad choice, I agree. Because somebody chosen to extend # ipmitool sdr list; output and placed Record ID in the very first column. Anyway. Since there is no way to get Record ID, I'm wondering whether ``0xa5'' could be used instead of Record ID for fast(er) look up. However, with Record ID there is guarantee of uniqueness, but is it the same guaranteed for Logical Numbers? Or would it be more acceptable to extend output of # ipmitool sdr -v list all; rather than extending # ipmitool sdr list; as I've mentioned earlier? I'm looking for a way which would be acceptable(the current one doesn't seem so to me).
