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

[Albert Chu]

Hi Lars,

Indeed, not every OEM Event is mapped to a "State" reading.  Many of the
interpretations aren't added until a vendor adds it (or in my case, my
company owns a motherboard and I put the interpretation in myself).

If you can give me the following info, I can add the interpretation into
FreeIPMI.

> bmc-info

so I can get the manufacturer ID & prodcut ID

> ipmi-sensors -vv --record-ids=74

so I can get the detailed event-reading type code and other information.

Thanks,

Al
