Hi guys, I'm working on coming up with a set of test cases to test this patch, but I'm going to need some help with making sure that everything is sane and valid.
First off, can you describe, Jim, what was the problem was initially in 1.8.12 exactly? What were you trying to read and how were you connecting and what arguments were you using? I'd like to include that in the test cases below. What I have available is a 2U PICMG system which consists of an ASIS 2U chassis which contains the following: Shelf Manager - PPS ShMM- 500 Slot 1 - Adax PacketRunner with PPS ATCA carrier IPMC software with 2 Adax ATM4 AMC cards in AMC slots 2 and 3 with PPS AMC IPMC software Slot 2 - DTI fabric switch with ??? IPMC software There are a few different places from which we would want to run ipmitool: 1) From a totally external "system manager" system (totally external from the ATCA chassis) 2) From the payload of our Adax PacketRunner 3) From the payload of AMC cards on our PacketRunner. (it's not totally clear how much functionality we can expect from here) Here is what the system addresses look like from an external system manager: dg:speedy:build(master) => src/ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.1.8 -A none sdr elist all ShMM-500 | 00h | ok | 240.96 | Dynamic MC @ 10h ShMM-500 | 00h | ok | 240.96 | Dynamic MC @ 12h ADAX PR | 00h | ok | 160.96 | Dynamic MC @ 82h ADAX ATMiv-AMC | 00h | ns | 193.99 | Logical FRU @03h ADAX ATMiv-AMC | 00h | ns | 193.100 | Logical FRU @04h ATS0020 | 00h | ok | 160.96 | Dynamic MC @ 84h It seems that the major change with this patch is the behavior when I run ipmitool from the payload of the Adax PacketRunner (aka the APR). >From the CVS trunk, the default behavior when no bridging arguments are specified, when run from the payload ipmitool would primarily talk to the IPMC on the APR. For example 'ipmitool fru' would show only the FRU information for the APR plus the AMC cards. With the patch applied, ipmitool now "talks" primarily with the shelf manager. So with the patch applied 'ipmitool fru' shows all the FRU information for all boards in the ATCA chassis. To my mind, this is a good and a bad thing, and it might not be what people expect. It's good in that ipmitool behaves the same way if you run it from the APR's payload or if you run it from an external system manager connected to the shelf manager. However it might not be what people expect (and is different from the previous behavior) in that people probably expect ipmitool to connect to the "local BMC" which would be the APR's IPMC when run from the APR's payload. It's bad because the user doesn't really have any way to know what the IPMB-0 address is of the local IPMC when running from the APR's payload. We can get the address records for all the boards in the ATCA chassis with 'ipmitool sdr elist all', but if there were two APRs in the chassis, the user would really have no way to know which one was the local one. This might also affect things like ipmievd which is supposed to monitor the local BCM's sensors. I'm not really sure how to resolve this issue. So here are some test cases.. Please have a look though these and make sure that I'm doing things correctly and that we're getting the results that we expect.

We can see all of the boards in the ATCA chassis now, but I don't really know what the Asis ACTA Shelf manager is in the output of the CVS ROOT case. I'm a bit confused by that... Also note that if I specify _any_ non-zero value with -m in the CVS ROOT case above, then I get the same output as I get with Jim's patch. I'm not really sure what is up with that. It looks like if I specify a non-zero value with -m, then the PICMG GetDeviceLocator doesn't get run in the CVS ROOT case. 2) Getting FRU information from a specific blade in ATCA chassis.

That seems good to me. The above results seem to be consistent for all the ipmitool fru subcommands. thats all for tonight.. More tomorrow. thanks dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
