Hi Corey,
Thanks for the inputs. I will check the status of the sensors and will update
by doing "re-armed" where ever required.
I got the problem in my system. I ran IPMITool to check the status of SEL on
the system, and it was full/overflowing. Because of this the events were not
getting detected. After clearing the SEL using IPMITool, now able to get the
events nicely.
Could you please tell if we could get a event if SEL gets full and is there any
function which could be called in that case to clear the SEL?
thanks and regards
S Sarath

I'm not quite sure, but some sensors need to be "re-armed" to trigger an
event again. If your sensor returns false for
ipmi_sensor_get_supports_rearm(), you have to call ipmi_sensor_rearm()
on it to allow it to generate new events. You will need to do this
after the sensor returns to normal (the power supply is back in) or you
will immediately get a new event.
If that's not the issue, you can look at the event log to see if the
sensor is actually generating an event. If it is, then something is
wrong in OpenIPMI. If not, then it's your hardware/firmware.
