[Freeipmi-devel] sensor output issue

[Albert Chu]

Hey AB,

The following sensors are not output unless the -vv option is passed to
sensors.

HSC Drv X Status (Drive Slot)
HSC Drv X Pres (Drive Slot)

HSC Drv X Status has an event/read type code of 0x6F.  Table 36-3 of the
IPMI Spec doesn't list any info about Drive Slots.  So I believe that
one can be ignored.  But, HSC Drv X Pres has an event code of 0x08.  So
this sensor should be output with either "Device Present" or "Device
Absent" (Table 36-2).

I think the bug lies in the function ipmi_is_sensor_reading_available().
 Currently, the function only checks if the sensor type is
IPMI_SENSOR_TYPE_DRIVE_SLOT.  Instead, the function should check if the
sensor type is IPMI_SENSOR_TYPE_DRIVE_SLOT and that the event/read type
is == 0x6Fh.

Do you agree on this??

Al
