Thanks Josh, not being the hardware guy I'd missed that subtlety.
From a quick try with racadm it seems that is also not returning
chassis info for our C6320s which matches my earlier findings with
dmidecode and ipmitool (not just bmc).
An earlier mailing list post provided "ipmitool raw 0x30 0x12 | head -n1
| awk '{print $10}'" to get the node number so I'm hopeful the chassis
service tag is in there somewhere to grab.
Thanks, Simon
