[Ipmitool-devel] ipmitool sensors

[Hugo C. <hc...@ma...>]

Dear all,

I would like to ask why do I get different sensor values when I use the 
command ipmitool -I open sensors and ipmitool -I open sensors get "sensor_Id".

For eg:

[root@lxfs6091 root]# ipmitool -I open sensors
Baseboard 12V    | 11.904     | Volts      | ok    | na        | 11.346    
| 11.532    | 12.462    | 12.648    | na
Baseboard 12VRM  | 12.012     | Volts      | ok    | na        | 11.352    
| 2.716     | 3.


but when I try to get the individual values of sensors Baseboard 12V, 
Baseboard 12VRM, they have the same Sensor ID and Sensor Reading .

[root@lxfs6091 root]# ipmitool -I open sensors get "Baseboard 12V"
Locating sensor record...
Sensor ID              : Baseboard 12V (0x19)
Sensor Type (Analog)   : Voltage
Sensor Reading         : 11.904 (+/- 2.976) Volts
Status                 : ok
Lower Non-Recoverable  : na
Lower Critical         : 11.346
Lower Non-Critical     : 11.532
Upper Non-Critical     : 12.462
Upper Critical         : 12.648
Upper Non-Recoverable  : na
