IPMI info differs between identical R450 servers
So i have a bunch of new R450 servers.
Identical hardware, and firmwares
bios=1.15.2
idrac=7.10.70.00
When i check their hardware via IPMI (with https://github.com/thomas-krenn/check_ipmi_sensor_v3 ) i get varying results.
Some servers report about both PSUs (and their redundancy), others do not.
Some servers report about all memory modules (A1, A2.. B1, B2..), others just about for instance A (or only A1, A2, but nothing about Bx).
And so on.
Its not just one problematic server, its like half report more and half way less.
What could be the cause of this?

Ah, yes that did indeed show better info @DELL-Chris H !
Ok, so i better swap out that old script for something better. Thanks! :)
Same amount of sensors on all servers now...
$ ipmitool -I lanplus -H server-07a -U root -P <pwd> -v sdr list 2>/dev/null | grep "Sensor ID" | wc -l
205
$ ipmitool -I lanplus -H server-01b -U root -P <pwd> -v sdr list 2>/dev/null | grep "Sensor ID" | wc -l
205

Doesnt look like i can see all of the command lines above, but there was a pipe into "| wc -l" at the end
