Changing this up a little, reading the man page one might think 'sel readraw
file' would inject entries into the SEL with time stamps intact but that is not
the case. Is there a method to inject events into the SEL, to basically
restore from a previously saved raw dump?
Thank you,
Brad

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] Preserving SEL date/time stamps across a clear event
Hi,
The objective here is to save the SEL to a file before an event that clears it,
then repopulate it from the saved file then continue logging events from that
point on with appropriate date/time stamps. The problem (perceived) is that
ipmitool sel add file resets previously recorded date/time stamps to the
current date and time effectively debasing the integrity of the log.
ipmitool version 1.8.15
Steps to reproduce:
ipmitool sel list
a | 02/29/2016 | 22:06:33 | Event Logging Disabled #0x8c | Log area
reset/cleared | Asserted
b | 02/29/2016 | 22:19:42 | Other Units-based Sensor #0xa0 | State Asserted
| Asserted
c | 02/29/2016 | 22:19:43 | System Boot Initiated #0x87 | System Restart |
Asserted
d | 02/29/2016 | 22:20:06 | System Event #0x8e | Timestamp Clock Sync |
Asserted
e | 02/29/2016 | 22:20:08 | System Event #0x8e | Timestamp Clock Sync |
Asserted
f | 02/29/2016 | 22:20:51 | System Event #0x8f | OEM System boot event |
Asserted
10 | 02/29/2016 | 22:21:01 | System ACPI Power State #0x88 | S0/G0: working |
Asserted
ipmitool sel clear

This smells like a bug to me but I wanted to check with the experts before I
proceed.
Thank you,
Brad
