RE: [Freeipmi-devel] Re: ibmx3650 reboots after ipmi-sel is unable toget SEL record

[Al Chu11]

Hey Won,

FYI, the "(null)" is an old porting issue, so a newer version of
FreeIPMI would fix that part up (it's not a huge deal overall though).

What we care about is the

[ 01h 00h 02h E9h ABh C6h 49h 03h ]
[ F0h 04h 12h 00h 6Fh 00h FFh FFh ]

The important bytes are the "12h 00h 6Fh 00h" at the bottom.

12h = sensor_type = "system event"

00h = sensor number

6Fh = event-type_code = "sensor specific"
(all this means is take the sensor_type and look up something in a
different table really)

00h = sensor event offset = "system reconfigured"
(there are some additional flags in here too, but since they are 0 we
can ignore them)

So the messages from the motherboard seem to be interpreted correctly.
Why they occur so much is still a question.  Have you been able to ask
someone at the vendor?

Al
