Re: [Freeipmi-users] PS Status showing Unrecognized Event after upgrading a supermicro X8 mobo ipmimodule to fw 3.12

[Albert Chu]

Hi Ingard,

Searching through the NEWS file it was released in FreeIPMI 1.0.2.

Is it possible you're looking at FRU info?  (b/c the option is called
-psfruinfo). You can try ipmi-fru with the --bridge-fru option and see
if that works.

Also try running ipmi-sensors with --bridge-sensors.  If that doesn't
work, then this might be an OEM extension from Supermicro.  The Slave
Addresses they list (0x70 and 0x72) are not the defaults.  If
ipmi-sensors cannot find this sensor in the SDR (sensor data
repository), then Supermicro is getting this through some other means
that isn't standard.

If you ask Supermicro for the OEM extension information, then it's
possible it could be added into FreeIPMI.

It appears in the ipmicfg example below that they are going through the FRU to 
get information.
