For IPMI event log settings, see the IPMI Specification v2.0 chapter 31.4 Reserve SEL Command and 31.5 Get SEL Entry
Command.
Reserve SEL command
Use reserve system event log (SEL) to set the present owner of the SEL. This reservation provides a limited amount of
protection on repository access from the IPMB when you delete or incrementally read records. Use get SEL to read the SEL
repository.
● Response data byte 1—Completion code
○ 81h—cannot execute the command, SEL erase in progress
● Response data byte 2—Reservation ID, LS byte 0000h reserved.
● Response data byte 3—Reservation ID, SM byte
Get SEL command
● Request data byte 1:2—Reservation IS, LS byte first. Only required for a partial get. Otherwise use 0000h.
● Request data byte 3:4—SEL record ID, LS byte first.
○ 0000h=GET FIRST ENTRY
○ FFFFh=GET LAST ENTRY
● Request data byte 5—Offset into record
● Request data byte 6—Bytes to read. FFH means read entire record.
● Response data byte 1—Completion code. Returns an error completion code if the SEL is empty.
○ 81h=cannot execute the command, SEL erase in progress.
● Response data byte 2:3—Next SEL record ID. LS byte first (returns FFFFh if the record just returned is the last record).
○
NOTE:
FFFFh is not allowed as the record ID of an actual record. For example, the record ID in Record Data for the
last record cannot be FFFFh.
● Response data byte 4:N—Record data, 16 bytes for the entire record.
