Platform Management
Sensor Type
The Sensor Type references the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table
-
in the IPMI specification. It provides the context in which to interpret the sensor (for
example, the physical entity or characteristic that is represented by this sensor).
Event/Reading Type
The Event/Reading Type references values from the Event/Reading Type Code
-
Ranges and Generic Event/Reading Type Codes tables in the IPMI specification.
Digital sensors are a type of discrete sensors, which have only two states.
Event Thresholds/Triggers
Event Thresholds are supported, event-generating thresholds for Threshold type
-
sensors.
[u,l][c,nc]
uc, lc
Event Triggers are supported, event-generating offsets for Discrete type sensors.
-
You can find the offsets in the Generic Event/Reading Type Codes or Sensor Type
Codes tables in the IPMI specification, depending on whether the sensor
event/reading type is generic or a sensor specific response.
Assertion/Deassertion
Assertion and Deassertion indicators reveal what type of events this sensor generates:
As: Assertions
-
De: Deassertion
-
Readable Value/Offsets
Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-
-
discrete type sensors.
Readable Offsets indicates the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable via the
-
Get Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all Event Triggers are
readable (for example, Readable Offsets consists of the reading type offsets that do
not generate events).
Event Data
This is the data included in an event message generated by the associated sensor.
-
For threshold-based sensors, the following abbreviations are used:
-
o R: Reading value
o T: Threshold value
Re-arm Sensors
The re-arm is a request from the event status for a sensor to be rechecked and updated
upon a transition between good and bad states. The sensors can be re-armed manually
or automatically. This column indicates the type supported by the sensor. The following
abbreviations are used in the comment column to describe a sensor:
A: Auto-re-arm
-
M: Manual re-arm
-
