[Bug 1586048] Re: ipmi sel time set is setting 30 mins less than given time in OOB, and 30 mins more than given time in in-band method (ipmitool)

 

This is already fixed in yakkety.

** Changed in: ipmitool (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released

** Changed in: ipmitool (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: Triaged => In Progress

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Setting time via ipmi (inband or out of band) between systems that aren't on the same timezone where the timezone is stepped by the minute (as opposed to the typical stepping by hour in many timezones).
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ See below: '---Steps to Reproduce---'.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Minimal, this adds comparing the minutes as well as hour for timezone differences. If timezone data was inconsistent or broken where the timezone should be stepped by the hour and actually includes a minute difference; it may be seen that the time value set as a result of the 'ipmitool sel time' commands would differ from the value passed to the command.

  ipmi sel time set is setting 30 mins less than given time in Out-of-
  band(OOB), and 30 mins more than given time in in-band method.
  
  Here there are two problems
  1. sel time set function setting time incorrectly.
  2. same ipmi command behaves differently in in-band and out-of-band.
