[Freeipmi-devel] Re: Obtain an error when changing a threshold value... but "echo $" returns "0" value

[Won De Erick]

Hi All,

With FBSD6.2 + FreeIPMIv0.6.9 on IBM x3650, I was trying to change the Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold for a fan. No error message was displayed but the intended value was not reflected on the new config. See the results below.


# ipmi-sensors-config -o -S 4_Fan_1_Tach
Section 4_Fan_1_Tach
        ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM
        Lower_Non_Critical_Threshold                 660.000000
        ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM
        Lower_Critical_Threshold                     660.000000
        ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM
        Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold              660.000000
EndSection

# ipmi-sensors-config -c -e 4_Fan_1_Tach:Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold=670

# echo $?
0

# ipmi-sensors-config -o -S 4_Fan_1_Tach
Section 4_Fan_1_Tach
        ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM
        Lower_Non_Critical_Threshold                 660.000000
        ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM
        Lower_Critical_Threshold                     660.000000
        ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM
        Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold              660.000000
EndSection

Thanks,

Won

Hey Won,

Ahhh, good catch.  I see the corner case on this one.  I'll fix it up.

Thanks,
Al
