Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ipmi_monitoring_sensor_readings_by_record_id: internal IPMI error

[Al Chu]

Hey David,

On another note.  There are a lot of "Unknown" sensors listed below.
Typically "Unknown" is shown b/c there are sensor reading errors on the
remote motherboard.  But the below is just way too many to look
reasonable.  Could you also send the --debug output of ipmi-sensors to
me?
