I modified my test program to get the GUID from the domain and display
it. Accessing it from both LAN and SMI returns the GUID
020000ff-fe00-0000-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f. While this is good--the return is
the same--it leads me to think the GUID either needs to be configured,
or has just been defaulted by the manufacturer.
But I think I'm accessing the same BMC. It was all set up by our other
engineers; the system is sitting in our assembly area right now.
They've told me what the IP address of that BMC is, and I have no reason
to think it's anything other than advertised.

Using ipmi-sensors from the FreeIPMI toolkit gives more reasonable
values (CPU temperatures of 24 and 21 degrees, system temperature of
43). Using ipmitool directly on the node returns similar values.

Given that this is the same BMC that had the network issue for which you
gave me that one patch already, I have ZERO trouble believing this. The
trouble is convincing my boss. :-)
I don't know if it's related, but, when accessing the
"new" (problematic) node with my test program, there's a lot less delay
in bringing the domain "up" than there is when I access a different node
(that gives more reasonable values). Could this be a clue? I can try
to get numbers on that if you need them.
