#341 fru edit non-operational
fru edit does not appear to be working - it indicates it is updating a field, but after the update, the field remains the same:
[root@QOS ~]# ipmitool fru edit 0 field p 3 QOSServre
Updating Field 'ada24b8ef' with 'QOSServre' ...
[root@QOS ~]# ipmitool fru

Same issue exists in 1.8.15rc1 (the apparent latest version).
Sadly, this could be vendor/HW specific issue rather than tool issue.
Hello:
The FRU updates via the Windows version of ipmitool.

Please, try to get in touch with Supermicro:
I have none of above except may be willingness. I doubt anybody else is going to look at it, unless it lands on their table through support@company-im-working-for.com. HW field isn't friendly one, unfortunately.
This is suggestion how to get it fixed and kind of explanation why nobody's working on this.
EDIT: and yes, I believe the problem is in IPMItool as FRU code is rather crap. And sorry it took me such a long time to get around and reply.

Hello Zdenek:
The Windows version of IPMITool works, the Linux one does not – how is it a Supermicro problem?

Please, try to get in touch with Supermicro:
a.. have access to hardware
b.. access to debugging
c.. have know-how
d.. employees
e.. actually, it seemed they were willing to help

I'm a bit confused now.
V.
so which one is it? And as far as I know, the only Windows version of IPMItool comes from Oracle.
It's not. Then either fix it by yourself and post the patch or accept the fact it probably will remain unfixed.
Just think about what you've just said. Have you paid for IPMItool? I don't think so. How is it anybody's else problem then? ;) Do you really expect employees of HP or Pigeon Point or Oracle or whoever to fix problem reported on Supermicro? Nope. They won't even if they could and wanted to as long as:
That's how it works.
EDIT: it seems some negatives were missing

It was IPMI View. Does IPMITool work on any non-Supermicro boards? As far as I know, the IPMI chip is either a Nuvoton, Winbond, Aspeed, or Renesis – Supermicro does not make the chip. To answer your question about anybody elses’ problem: IPMITool has a function to change the FRU (for example). This function does not operate, and that was what I reported. Either the function in the program doesn’t work, or the program has a compatibility issue. I don’t know enough about C++ or writing software for the IPMI chip to fix the tool myself, or I would have done so already. I am a PERL programmer. I’ll just explain to my boss that ipmitool can’t set the FRU, so instead, a remote Windows system has to be used.

That's how it works.

Sure. I merely suggested way how to get it fixed and offered explanation why it's not fixed or not being worked at by anybody. That's all.
As for your question, there is an IPMI specification and HW vendors have implemented their IPMI stacks, or chip if you want, according to this specification.
Just to clarify. It was you who said
how is it a Supermicro problem?''. It isn't. I've never said or implied it's Supermicro's problem. I've even agreed the problem is in IPMItool code -and yes, I believe the problem is in IPMItool as FRU code is rather crap.'' Asking Supermicro for help is a one way how to get it fixed and that's all.To me, just looking at the message, it looks like ipmitool is trying to update a field, which has the name of the value of the field. There is no field called ‘ada24b8ef’ – that is a value. I would expect something like “Updating field ‘Product Version’ with ‘QOSServre’. Whatever the problem is, it looks like it is close to working. But there is something else wrong as well – field p 3 is supposed to be the Product Manufacturer – not the Product Version.
