thank you for that information. i have one more question hopefully that
could be answered:
There is "Drv Stat" and "Drv Pres", and the values "ipmitool sensor" returns
For Drives that are present:
Drv Stat: 0x008e
Drv Pres: 0x0280
and for that are not present:
Drv Stat: 0x0080
Drv Pres: 0x0080
does not seem to much the sensor specific offsets in the doc.
and if i run "ipmitool -v sensor", the only states that are asserted is:
Sensor ID : Drv 1 Pres (0x9)
Entity ID : 15.1
Sensor Type (Discrete): Drive Slot / Bay
States Asserted : Availability State
[Device Present]
am i suppose to mask values, or somehow do some bit operations on the
status values that are returned?
thank you once again,
