[Freeipmi-users] Fan Sensor not correctly reported

[Philipp Naether]

Hi guys,

on our HP DL380 G6/7 servers FreeIPMI reports the fan sensors with
wrong values:

address@hidden sbin]# ./ipmi-sensors -h *** -u *** -p *** -D LAN_2_0 -r 8
-vv

Record ID: 8
Record Type: Full Sensor Record (1h)
ID String: Fan 2
Sensor Type: Fan (4h)
Sensor Number: 7
IPMB Slave Address: 10h
Sensor Owner ID: 20h
Sensor Owner LUN: 0h
Channel Number: 0h
Entity ID: system board (7)
Entity Instance: 2
Entity Instance Type: Physical Entity
Event/Reading Type Code: Ah
Accuracy: 0.000000%
Sensor Direction: Unspecified


The verbose output of ipmitool reports the following:
 
address@hidden bin]# ./ipmitool -I lanplus -H *** -U *** -P *** sensor 
-v
 
Sensor ID: Fan Block 1 (0x9)
Entity ID: 7.1
Sensor Type (Discrete): Fan
Sensor Reading: 19.208 percent
States Asserted: Availability State
[Transition to Running]
 
Important there is that ipmitool reports the value and the unit
correctly. But FreeIPMI reports it as N/A. I was told that FreeIPMI
might not be able to interpret this data correctly and I should write to
this to the mailing list.
