[Freeipmi-users] Can I deduce sensors meaning from record ID?

[Aleksey Yakovlev]

I use the FreeIPMI C API to get sensor readings into my application. I can
see record ids and sensor names, etc. - the same info as in the
"ipmi-sensors" output. My applications needs to know *meaning* of these
sensors - is it related to their record ids? For example, in this output:

address@hidden:~$ sudo ipmi-sensors
ID | Name        | Type         | Reading    | Units | Event
2  | Fan1A_BP    | Fan          | 0.00       | RPM   | 'At or Below (<=)
Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold'
3  | Fan1B_BP    | Fan          | 0.00       | RPM   | 'At or Below (<=)
Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold'
4  | Fan2A_BP    | Fan          | 0.00       | RPM   | 'At or Below (<=)
Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold'
5  | Fan2B_BP    | Fan          | 0.00       | RPM   | 'At or Below (<=)
Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold'
6  | Fan3A_BP    | Fan          | 16200.00   | RPM   | 'OK'
7  | Fan3B_BP    | Fan          | 14300.00   | RPM   | 'OK'
8  | Fan4A_BP    | Fan          | 15800.00   | RPM   | 'OK'
9  | Fan4B_BP    | Fan          | 13900.00   | RPM   | 'OK'
10 | CPU0        | Temperature  | 30.00      | C     | 'OK'
11 | CPU1        | Temperature  | 26.00      | C     | 'OK'
12 | CPU0_VR     | Temperature  | 29.00      | C     | 'OK'
13 | CPU1_VR     | Temperature  | 26.00      | C     | 'OK'
20 | External-3  | Temperature  | 0.00       | C     | 'OK'

Can I assume that record ids 2-9 always contain fan speeds *on all the
possible machines*? And so on... CPU temperatures in 10, 11 and so on?

Thanks,
