#74 Bad performance for ipmitool sdr command in verbose mode

[ptitoliv]

Context : This bug has been detected with a DELL BMC Board on server PowerEdge 1950 and PowerEdge 2950.

When using the verbose mode for getting the extended sensor informations with the command "ipmitool -v sdr", the command takes a very long time to retrieve the sensors data.

A similar bug has been corrected for the non verbose mode (Command ipmitool sdr) with the follwoing patch : http://ipmitool.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ipmitool/ipmitool/lib/ipmi_sdr.c?r1=1.95&r2=1.96.

Howerver, in the verbose mode calls the functions "ipmi_sdr_get_sensor_event_status" and "ipmi_sdr_get_sensor_event_enable" in which the correction has not been reported and it seems that it is also needed in these functions.

Please find as an attachement, a patch which corrects the issue in these two functions.

Patch for SDR Verbose mode

[Jan Safranek]

Any progress on this patch? Can it be accepted?

Better question is whether this patch is really needed given the changes made to SDR in ipmitool-1.8.12. So, is it?

I haven't checked the patch nor the code nor I have any Dell hardware to verify this issue.

Thanks!

Please, open a new ticket if needed be.

Thanks.
