Re: [Freeipmi-devel] Supermicro X8DTG-QF System Event Log

[Werner Fischer]

Hi Götz,

I'm not an FreeIPMI developer, but we are selling a lot of Supermicro
systems, so here some hints:

1) you could try to check the webinterface of this system's BMC.
This mainboard has an Nuvoton WPCM450R IPMI Chip with AMI Firmware, see
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Supermicro_X8DTG-QF_Mainboard and
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Nuvoton_WPCM450R_IPMI_Chip_mit_AMI-Software
(the sites are currently only available in German, but the pics and FW
version information should be understandable)
Within the webinterface you can go to "Server Health" -> "Event Log"
It looks like:
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Datei:Supermicro-X8DT3-F-Webinterface-02-Server-Health-03-Event-Log-There-are-no-entries.png
Maybe you see some more detailed information there.

2) According to your output you are using FW Version 2.01, meanwhile
there is an IPMI FW 2.03 available:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DTG-QF.cfm
(But I'm not sure whether this would solve your issue)

3) you write: "I wonder why the current temperature value is not shown
by neither ipmi-sensors nor superodoctor." - Supermicro has an OEM
sensor for this, with those meanings:

Best regards,
Werner
