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

[Albert Chu]

Hey Lars,

Oh crud, I screwed up something.  Lets try two things.

1)

Open /etc/freeipmi/freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf and go to the lines like this:

## Manufacturer ID = 674 (Dell)
## Product ID = 256 (Poweredge)
## Event/Reading Type Code = 70h (OEM)
## Sensor Type = 15h (Module/Board)
##
## Bitmask 0x0001 = "Absent"
## Bitmask 0x0002 = "Standby"
## Bitmask 0x0004 = "IPMI Function ready"
## Bitmask 0x0008 = "Fully ready"
## Bitmask 0x0010 = "Offline"
## Bitmask 0x0020 = "Failed"
## Bitmask 0x0040 = "Active"
## Bitmask 0x0080 = "Booting"
## Bitmask 0x0100 = "Write protected"
#
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0000 Nominal
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0001 Critical
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0002 Nominal
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0004 Nominal
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0008 Nominal
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0010 Warning
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0020 Critical
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0040 Nominal
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0080 Nominal
# IPMI_OEM_Bitmask 674:256 0x70 0x15 0x0100 Warning

Try uncommenting all of the "IPMI_OEM_Bitmask" lines, and then see if
it works (remember to specify --interpret-oem-data).

2)

Hopefully the above works.  Now, commenting the above lines back, see
if the attached patch works.  (Basically, I wrote the function for
doing this by default, but forgot to call it).
