I have a question regarding FRU info. I have a new motherboard, a Supermicro X11SCH-F. No matter where I check (IPMI web session, IPMIview, SMCIPMITool) I never get more info than the following (output of SMCIPMITool >ipmi fru):

192.168.1.53 X11SCH-LN4F (S0/G0) 21:21 AST2500>ipmi fru Getting FRU ... Board mfg. Date/Time (BDT) = 2019/07/24 20:37:00 (B9 17 BD) Board Manufacturer Name (BM) = Supermicro Board Product Name (BPN) = Board Serial Number (BS) = Board Part Number (BP) = Board FRU File ID = Product Manufacturer Name (PM) = Product Name (PN) = Product PartModel Number (PPM) = Product Version (PV) = Product Serial Number (PS) = Product Asset Tag (PAT) = Product FRU File ID =

Shouldn't there be more information? Or do I have to put that in myself? I searched the web regarding this but all I found were examples where there was a lot more standard information provided by IPMI.

Cheers!

If you didn't buy a system but rather just a board, this information isn't populated. You can populate it yourself with IPMICFG if it really bothers you.

Many thanks for the quick reply. No, it doesn't bother me at all. I just wanted to understand.
