[Freeipmi-users] getting "internal IPMI error"

[andrew]

Hi,

I've setup Nagios to monitor IPMI on our 2 new Supermicro servers. The
one is working find, the other sporadically but frequently is returning
some errors. The page at
https://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/manpages/man8/ipmi-sel.8.html
suggested emailing here. Please let me know if you can help or if you
need any more information.

Thanks,
Andrew
