Re: [Freeipmi-devel] Supermicro X8DTG-QF System Event Log

Hi Götz,

I'm trying to figure out more details on the mappings and I'm in contact
with Supermicro for that. According from what I've heard from Supermicro
the mapping should be the same.

So my question: can you send us the output of the following three
commands, so that we can investigate the reported details?

        ipmi-sel -h [IPMIIP] -u [USER] -p [PASSOWRD] -vv
        --output-event-state
        bmc-info -h [IPMIIP] -u [USER] -p [PASSOWRD]
        java -jar SMCIPMITool.jar [IPMIIP] [USER] [PASSOWRD] sel list

You can download SMCIPMITool at
ftp://ftp.supermicro.nl/utility/SMCIPMItool/
You need Java running to be able to use it.

If your X8DTG-QF is running under Linux, please also provide the output
of
  dmidecode -t bios
or otherwise in another way the detailed version of your BIOS.


Thanks in advance and best regards,
Werner


PS:
Here are some example of a X9SCM-F Supermicro system of mine, how these
outputs look like (but I have only chassis intrusion errors logged
here):
