[Freeipmi-devel] Supermicro unrecognized OEM events in eventlog.

[Andreas Thienemann]

Hi,

I did notice that many of our supermicro servers were reporting the same 
unknown event in the ipmi log:

$ /usr/local/Cellar/freeipmi/1.6.2/sbin/ipmi-sel -h *** -u *** -p *** 
--output-oem-event-strings --interpret-oem-data -vvvv
ID   | Date        | Time     | Name             | Type         | Event 
Direction   | Event
1    | Aug-04-2014 | 10:15:06 | Sensor #255 (Generator ID 20h) | Session Audit 
| Assertion Event   | Invalid Username or Password
2    | Aug-04-2014 | 10:15:16 | Sensor #255 (Generator ID 20h) | Session Audit 
| Assertion Event   | Invalid Username or Password
3    | Oct-09-2018 | 09:47:55 | Sensor #255 (Generator ID 1Fh) | OEM Reserved  
| Assertion Event   | Event Offset = 08h (Event Type Code = 6Fh)
$

Correlating this with the web interface shows that event 3, the OEM 
Reserved would translate to sensor type "OOB" with the event "Activate 
BIOS Product Key - Asserted".

The board in question is the following:

$ /usr/local/Cellar/freeipmi/1.6.2/sbin/bmc-info -h *** -u *** -p *** -l admin

ipmi_cmd_get_system_info_parameters_system_firmware_version_first_set:

$

Maybe this is useful enough to include the appropriate mapping in the next 
release.

cheers,
