Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ganglia_ipmimonitoring.pl

[Christopher Maestas]

It looks like the ganglia script runs:

/usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -h mp-N[1-2],mp-C[1-120] --quiet-cache --sdr-cache-recreate --always-prefix --no-header-output --output-sensor-state

I tried adding -f and nothing returned.  Then I tried running the command again and I see:

ipmi_sdr_cache_create: SDR record length invalid

again.

Is this independent of the script?  What if you run ipmimonitoring by
itself?  The output strongly suggests that the SDR cache is corrupted.
You could try flushing the cache (-f I think) and see if it helps when
the cache is recreated.
