I am seeing the following message logged in /var/log/messages:

Sep 29 12:12:24 vmtest2 cimprovagt: IpmiIfcSdrGetAll: invalid version. version = 0x1

Sep 29 12:16:41 vmtest2 cimprovagt: IpmiIfcSdrGetAll: invalid version. version = 0x1

Sep 29 12:20:57 vmtest2 cimprovagt: IpmiIfcSdrGetAll: invalid version. version = 0x1

Sep 29 12:25:13 vmtest2 cimprovagt: IpmiIfcSdrGetAll: invalid version. version = 0x1

Sep 29 12:29:29 vmtest2 cimprovagt: IpmiIfcSdrGetAll: invalid version. version = 0x1

Running ESX 3.5 Update 2, with Dell OpenManage 5.4.0. Any assistance with this would be appreciated.

Does the message go away if you stop the CIM service? (service pegasus stop)

It does, and it comes back when I restart the service.

How do I delete duplicate posts?

[SMacK_Daddy]

Is there any update on this issue? Did you get it resolved? What was the fix?

[ccastellow]

no resolution. problem went away with the replacement of these ESX servers.
