View and Interpret Presence Sensor Type Values
Before You Begin
- The IPMItool supports the output of a
States Asserted
field for each presence sensor type record. ThisStates Asserted
field can appear in the IPMItool output as either:States Asserted = Entity Presence
When the
States Asserted = Entity Presence
field appears, the sensor output for a hardware component can show one of three valid values:Present(=1)
,Absent(=2)
,Disabled(=4)
.States Asserted = Availability State
When the
States Asserted = Availability State
field appears, the sensor output for a hardware component can show one of two valid values:Device Absent(=1)
andDevice Present(=2)
.Note:
Oracle ILOM supports the output of bothStates Asserted
fields. However, some Oracle hardware platforms might support both or one of the possibleStates Asserted
fields (Entity Presence
orAvailability State
).
For additional information about how to interpret values presented for IPMI presence sensor types, refer to Section 42 - Sensor and Event Code Tables in the IPMI 2.0 Specifications. Understanding all of Section 42 is critical in understanding how to interpret a sensor value.
