[Freeipmi-users] FreeIPMI recognizes OEM sensor, but it does not return a reasonable state for it

[address@hidden]

Hi,

I have a server where calling "ipmimonitoring --interpret-oem-data" returns

ID | Name             | Type         | State | Reading | Units | Event
74 | SD vFlash Status | Module/Board | N/A   | N/A     | N/A   | 'OK'

So, the state is N/A while the event is OK. Perhaps, the state should also  
be OK?

Please also see another mailinglist where this has already been discussed:

Cheers
