I don't have any machines with OEM codes + information on how to interpret those codes, so what you come up with will likely be the best to start out with :-) Al > --Levi > -- Albert Chu [EMAIL PROTECTED] 925-422-5311 Computer Scientist High Performance Systems Division Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ___ Freeipmi-devel mailing list Freeipmi-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel

Re: [Freeipmi-devel] OEM-specific decoding of SEL entries
There currently isn't a road-map, just b/c we haven't had a need. We'd gladly welcome support. I guess somewhere within ipmi-sel we'd have to run the get device id command (I think that's the one) which can get the manufacturer id. Then within the sel-output, just do some if statements to convert OEM sel entries as appropriate. This is of course quite high level thought. Is this what you were thinking of?
