I'll try writing up a simple html howto for translation of IPMI commands into something useful because as far as I'm concerned, using the IPMI spec is rocket science.

That's what I was afraid of... The CLI interface to IPMI is not exactly user-friendly. And because it's not easy to see what one is doing (magic numebrs everywhere!), it's possible to screw up badly. I think that this means I do cli> ipmi 0A 47 0 0 43 4C 52 AA is that right ? I *think* this is the code to clear the system event log; whether that also clears the BMC event log and the forward progress log I don't know. The latter two logs are not mentioned in the IPMI 1.5 spec. The syntax is: ipmi netfnlun cmd data (BMC cli help) In this case, the netfn is `storage' (appendix G) which translates to 0x0A (table 5.1 of the IPMI 1.5 spec), and the LUN is zero (low two bits of netfnlun). The CMD is `CLR SEL' (0x47 appendix G of IPMI spec) and the data is 0 0 43 4C 52 AA (section 25.9) Peter C ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 "It's not Hollywood.
