RE: [Freeipmi-devel] Re: Fujitsu's iRMC S2 - support for get SEL entry long text within ipmi-oem
One problem is, that this OEM command requires admin privilege, which would have to be specified on the command line with -l admin. That is annoying. We could up the default privilege to admin, but my general attitude is to max the privilege level at whatever is necessary for the tool. Since this is an OEM extension thing, it's a little different. Perhaps we could document it and if you run w/ --interpret-oem-data, output an error if user isn't specifying atleast admin privilege??? Not entirely sure at this point, we'll ponder this a bit more. [Liebig, Holger] At least some hint to the user would be nice. Since completion code 0xD4 is returned (insufficient Privilege), this could be potentially in lined into the output I'm also working on integration of Fujitsu specific OEM sensor information into freeipmi, at least this would show some better information for the SEL than today when running without -l admin but with --interpret-oem-data.

On 08/18/10 22:40, Albert Chu: Unfortunately due to memory constrains in the previous BMC generation the maximum length of a single response is limited to 64bytes, while on the current product line you should be able to get the full 100bytes 0x64 = 100 Random coincidence ? It look like typo within firmware sources that has been fixed later ... Nope. Initial (non standard KCS) transfer size started with 80bytes in order to transfer 64Bytes with a single OEM command (plus command overhead). This is still true on iRMC S1 based systems (firmware 1.xx) and earlier BMC's (pre 2005) timeframe). This SEL translation feature is available on iRMC / iRMC S2 only.

Not good, but not terrible. As I've thought about it more, I'm thinking the --interpret-oem-data option should have a special case for Fujitsu motherboards and report an error to the user just saying, Use -l admin. I'm also working on integration of Fujitsu specific OEM sensor information into freeipmi, at least this would show some better information for the SEL than today when running without -l admin but with --interpret-oem-data.
