[Freeipmi-users] Free ipmi 1.6.3 ipmi-sel command exits with a error on some quanta servers

[Stephen Abbene]

Hello,  

I noticed that on some quanta systems, particularly the QuantaPlex T42D-2U 
systems that the ipmi-sel command exits with an error, " 
ipmi_sdr_parse_sensor_units: invalid sdr record".  Does anyone have any 
suggestions on how to get this working?

$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
QuantaPlex T42D-2U

$ sudo ./ipmi-sel --version
ipmi-sel - 1.6.3
