query led status

Hi!

Is it possible the query the led-status/reason from the front-panel of an lc1000 using linux?
In my case I have a fan-warning but I don't want to shutdown the machine now. I would like to know the exact reason for this warning.

regards
Detlef

Shalom,

This type of information is obtained by installing a utility from the hardware manufacturer.

If it were an HP server, I'd install PSP, and it has utilities to display, command line or web interface the information you seek.

Welcome to the ITRC Forums!

LC1000 sounds like a NetServer, not a Proliant. The NetServer and Proliant product lines are very different.

So I think PSP (=Proliant Support Pack) is not appropriate here.

The remote management technology in this old server was known as Integrated Remote Assistant. It used a serial port for management access. It was configured using a DOS boot floppy containing a special configuration utility program.

So if you don't have the Remote Assistant already set up, I think you're not going to be able to start using it without shutting down the OS first.

Once configured, you might be able to use a serial cable to access the event log while the server is running.

To Clarify, I gave PSP as an example as I did not recognize the server name.

Net servers also have utilities for the OS that may answer your question.
