Linux temperature monitoring on Itanium servers

[Roberto Fabretti]

We run Linux RedHat 4 on rx1620, rx2600, rx4640 and rx5670. Is there a way to monitor the temperature of these systems?
The package lm_sensors exists only for i386 and x86_64.

Hi Roberto,
The Insight Management Agents for IPF Linux (part of HPIEFPL - see http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T2387AA ) should, I believe, display the temperature using either System Management Homepage (SMH) or HP-SIM.

You can also see the values on the command line by using the 'hpbmc Sensors' command (again, if you have the HP IMA package installed). E.g.:

# hpbmc Sensors
60 sensors; many numbers below are in hex
0020: C Sensor 01 E:I 17:01 LUN 00 Chassis Intrus: indeterminate
0050: C Sensor 02 E:I 17:01 LUN 00 Chassis Open: deasserted
...
0720: C Sensor D6 E:I 07:01 LUN 00 Power Good: indeterminate
0750: F Sensor D8 E:I 17:01 LUN 00 Ambient Temp: 20.00 deg C
0790: F Sensor D9 E:I 03:01 LUN 00 Processor 0 Temp: 56.00 deg C
07D0: F Sensor DA E:I 03:02 LUN 00 Processor 1 Temp: 57.00 deg C
