Fan threshold setting differences in IPMIUtil and IPMITool?

[cycleback]

What is the difference between using IPMIUtil and IPMITool to set the fan speed thresholds in the Supermicro X10 BMC?

In IPMITool the fan thresholds are set with three values non-recoverable, critical, non-critical for the lower and upper thresholds. It looks like only two thresholds are set using IPMIUtil a lower threshold and an upper threshold. Do the IPMIUtil thresholds correspond to the non-critical values? How are the non-recoverable and critical values set in IPMIUtil?

IPMITool:
ipmitool sensor thresh "<sensor name>" lower <lnr> <lcr> <lnc>

IPMIUtil:
ipmiutil sensor -N *IP address* -U *Username* -P *Password* -n *snum* -l *lower threshold* -h *upper threshold*

Counter-question: Is there a point using ipmiutil (which seems not to be included in FreeNAS) instead of ipmitool (which is part of FreeNAS since at least 9.3) to set fan thresholds? I always used ipmitool for my Supermicro A1SAi-2750F and never had to look for other tools.

ipmiutil is useful if you want to make changes remotely from another computer with a different operating system and don't want to deal with Supermicro's java implementation in IPMIview.
