Re: [Ipmitool-devel] Resetting Intrusion detection flags..

[Hall, E. R <eri...@in...>]

Geert Jan -

Is '0xaa' the sensor number?  Usually you use the re-arm command with the sensor number.  I.E. 0x04 0x2a <senor number> 0x00

A Set Event Receiver command can be used as a global re-arm command.  Otherwise, use the raw 0x04 0x2a <sensor number> 0x00 to re-arm the sensor.
