Re: [Freeipmi-users] Free ipmi 1.6.3 ipmi-sel command exits with a error on some quanta servers
That works perfectly on the quanta, thank you so much. Let me build it for a few different OSes and make sure it works on all our other hardware. --Stephen On 8/15/19, 9:20 AM, "Albert Chu" wrote: External email: Use caution opening links or attachments Hi Stephen, I thought of a really simple fix.

Hi Stephen, I thought of a really simple fix.

Re: [Freeipmi-users] Free ipmi 1.6.3 ipmi-sel command exits with a error on some quanta servers
Hello Albert, 1) Using "--legacy-output" works great. That is an excellent work around. Do you have any idea what information it is lacking? 2) Using "--comma-separated-output" does not work. I end up getting the same, "ipmi_sdr_parse_sensor_units: invalid sdr record ", error. $ sudo ./ipmi-sel --comma-separated-output Caching SDR repository information: /root/.freeipmi/sdr-cache/sdr-cache-.localhost Caching SDR record 113 of 113 (current record ID 113) ipmi_sdr_parse_sensor_units: invalid sdr record We have opened a case with our vendor based on your findings I will let you know if they follow up. This is really helpful for us. We use freeipmi in many of our critical monitoring applications and really appreciate all the work you put into it.

Re: [Freeipmi-users] Free ipmi 1.6.3 ipmi-sel command exits with a error on some quanta servers
Hi Stephen, While skimming code, it occurred to me that if we don't bother to calculate column widths for pretty output, ipmi-sel might work for you. 1) does "ipmi-sel --legacy-output" work the output is ugly and not as useful as the pretty output (lacks information from newer releases), but it's something for you temporarily 2) does "ipmi-sel --comma-separated-output" skimming through code, I think I may stupidly calculate columns widths even though the user requested comma separated output.

Re: [Freeipmi-users] Free ipmi 1.6.3 ipmi-sel command exits with a error on some quanta servers
Hi Stephen, So on the very last record we see [ 1h] = event_reading_type_code[ 8b] which means a threshold based sensor, which typically means a temperature, rpm or something similar sensor. And we see: [ Bh] = sensor_type[ 8b] Which is a "other units based sensor". So given its a threshold sensor and the type is "other units", there are units within this SDR record. But there is not. So I'm thinking it's an error on the manufacturer's part. But clearly we should not just exit on this error and should have ipmi-sel work around it in some way, like output "SEL record un-parseable" or something and have ipmi-sel output the rest of the SEL. I have to think about how to do this for a bit. In the mean time, would you be willing to re-run without the "discretereading" flag. I just want to double check that the same record shows the same problem. You don't have to send output. Just make sure that the same event at the end of the output occurs. And perhaps make sure the problem occurs under the master branch of FreeIPMI, b/c I'll probably want to have you try a patch at some point :-) Thanks, Al On Wed, 2019-08-14 at 20:39 +, Stephen Abbene wrote: > = > SDR Event Only Record > = > [ 3Fh] = record_id[16b] > [ 1h] = sdr_version_major[ 4b] > [ 5h] = sdr_version_minor[ 4b] > [ 3h] = record_type[ 8b] > [ 19h] = record_length[ 8b] > [ 0h] = sensor_owner_id.type[ 1b] > [ 16h] = sensor_owner_id[ 7b] > [ 0h] = sensor_owner_lun[ 2b] > [ 0h] = fru_inventory_device_owner_lun[ 2b] > [ 6h] = channel_number[ 4b] > [ ADh] = sensor_number[ 8b] > [ 3h] = entity_id[ 8b] > [ 4h] = entity_instance[ 7b] > [ 0h] = entity_instance.type[ 1b] > [ Bh] = sensor_type[ 8b] > [ 1h] = event_reading_type_code[ 8b] > [ 1h] = share_count[ 4b] > [ 0h] = id_string_instance_modifier_type[ 2b] > [ 0h] = sensor_direction[ 2b] > [ 0h] = id_string_instance_modifier_offset[ 7b] > [ 0h] = entity_instance_sharing[ 1b] > [ 0h] = reserved[ 8b] > [ 0h] = oem[ 8b] > [ CDh] = id_string_type_length_code[ 8b] > [ BYTE ARRAY ... ] = id_string[13B] > [ 43h 68h 61h 73h 73h 69h 73h 20h ] > [ 50h 6Fh 77h 65h 72h ] > ipmi_sdr_parse_sensor_units: invalid sdr record -- Albert Chu ch...@llnl.gov Computer Scientist High Performance Systems Division Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ___ Freeipmi-users mailing list Freeipmi-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users
Re: [Freeipmi-users] Free ipmi 1.6.3 ipmi-sel command exits with a error on some quanta servers
Hi Stephen, This is an error I don't recall seeing before. It appears one of the SDR records is not legal and FreeIPMI doesn't really know how to proceed b/c of it. No workaround I can think about at the moment. Could you send me the --debug output. Minimally I can see what FreeIPMI thinks this motherboard is doing. Then we consider workaround options that I might add.
