Re: [Freeipmi-users] Missing details on HP Proliant DL380 G7

Hi Nicola,

If you could you provide --debug output, that'd be great.  For bmc-info,
I'm betting the HP node returns some non-standard error code, so I don't
handle that error code correctly (I would normally expect the "Not
supported" or "Invalid" error code if it isn't supported).

As for the ipmi-sensors output, it appears pretty solid.  If you are
comparing the names to HP specific software, it's possible that there is
extra info (via OEM extensions) that the HP specific software knows of
that I don't.  Or you may want to try the --entity-sensor-names option
in ipmi-sensors.  I noticed on Dell motherboards that they "name" their
sensors by combining an entity ID with a text string.  It's possible HP
software does something similar.  If --entity-sensor-names doesn't work,
we'd have to come up with a new option.

As for the not listing specific sensors, it's hard to say.  Some
motherboards don't support the sensors you're interested in.  It's also
possible the "N/A" outputs are due to a bug in HP's firmware.  If you
send me the --debug output, I might be able to see if there is anything
particularly odd about it.
