Description Petr Sklenar 2011-08-18 13:05:05 UTC

Description of problem:
there are really random numbers when running delloem command on s390x

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipmitool-1.8.11-11.el6.ppc64
only ppc arch
didnt try s390x

i386 + x8664 works as expected

How reproducible:
deterministic


Steps to Reproduce:
# rpm -q ipmitool
ipmitool-1.8.11-11.el6.ppc64
# ipmitool -y 0000000000000000 -H 1.3.4.2 -U root -P XXXXXX delloem powermonitor

Actual results:

Comment 3 Jan Safranek 2011-08-18 15:00:52 UTC

'ipmitool delloem powermonitor' does not convert integers from network format (it's little endian in IPMI!) to native one -> problems on non-Intel platforms.
