[Freeipmi-devel] Supermicro X8DTG-QF System Event Log

[Götz Waschk]

Dear Freeipmi devs,

I'm administrating a server with a Supermicro X8DTG-QF board. I'd like
to read the system event log with ipmi-sel as there seem to be cooling
problems with the system, however, the events are not interpreted:

 # ipmi-sel --interpret-oem-data --output-oem-event-strings
ID | Date        | Time     | Name           | Type              | Event

With ipmi-sensors I can see some more information about CPU[12] Temp:

I wonder why the current temperature value is not shown by neither
ipmi-sensors nor superodoctor.

I have tested with freeipmi 1.0.9 on Scientific Linux 6.1.
