Ipmitool command & entity-manager question

Hi Andrei

My question is that I set MB_P12V "upper critical" is 13.23, "upper non critical" is 12.6, etc .
When I login web page, I can see the setting what I want. 
But when I use “Ipmitool sensor” command, the response is wrong. Like below

MB P12V          | 7.215      | Volts      | ok    | na        |6.386     | 6.723     | 7.429     | 7.829     | na 

I am not sure am I miss something.

Thanks
Paul
