Temperature monitoring on HP rp8400

[Antonello]

Hi all
We've a HP rp8400 server with OS HP UX 11i.
My question is: is it possible to get the FRU temperature ( at least main components) in real time via shell commands?
We need to monitor the temperature out of envd signalling , so we can have it in real time.

Thanks a lot

I do not think that it possible (Unless you put a thermometer on server)

V class used to have temprature sensor inside them. All you can do is configure /etc/envd.conf to take appropriate actions when temprature exceeds particular limit. HP CE would be able to tell you temprature limits.

Hi,

Not sure if you can get the actual temperature with any commands. You can configure envd.conf to send you pages/messages. OVERTEMP_CRIT and FANFAIL_CRIT are less critical then EMERG condidtions. So, you can configure them to send you a mail or page. GSP/MP will allow you to see the temperature condition.

I would suggest to use temperature sensors as they can cover all the equipment in the datacenter.

Thanks a lot Sri and Anil
I thought this, in fact i haven't found anything that could help me .
In Solaris OS , when the server is properly equipped, we can run "prtdiag -v" to get real time temperature of CPU boards on E4500 servers for instance, but it seems HP UX misses this features.
I'll explore SNMP world
