temperature sensor thresholds

[mr_nemo]

Hi all,

we have been monitoring the progress of temperature sensors in 20 DL380 G8 servers. Sensor 25 (25-HD Controller) has caught our attention, because we see its value span among servers from 55C to 90C. Even though iLO has not been complaining most of our Net-SNMP agents have raised an alarm.

We are thinkning about adjust the SNMP alarm threshold value. Is there a recomendation for what they should be?
Shall we use the threshold values given by hplog?
Is there a way to force fans to operate at a higher speed?

# hplog -t
