You can run "ipmiutil sensor" or "ipmitool sensor" to get the DIMM
status from those discrete sensor readings.  The output is in different
formats, so pick whichever you like.

Subject: [Openipmi-developer] How to get memory state through ipmi on
DELL2950 / 2850


Hi, All:

It is well known that through OpenManage tool kit provided by DELL, 
one can get memory status, such as:
--------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# omreport chassis memory

-------------
All I need is which DIMM is 'Status: Ok' and which one is bad, I digged
into the tool kit

and found it's seems that all information 'omreport' report about memory

status only come from /dev/ipmi0, so it is likely the ipmi driver can 

provide such information, but how can I get that information through 

general tools such as 'ipmitool' or 'ipmiutil'?
