Special driver/agent/daemon for "hplog -f"?

Hello,

does "hplog -f" need a special driver, agent or daemon except "hpasmd" to have up-to-date values about the fan status?

Note, that I didn't install the whole HP product pack stuff etc, because I don't want to have the webbased things.

This is always the (same) output:

# hplog -f
ID TYPE LOCATION STATUS REDUNDANT FAN SPEED
1 Var. Speed Processor Zone Nominal N/A Low ( 10)
2 Var. Speed System Board Nominal N/A Low ( 10)
#

BTW, is the number 10 of the SPEED column 1000 RPMs, 10000 RPMs or what?

And does "hpasmd" itself trigger the RPMs of the fans or is another tool, driver or whatelse needed?

Robert,

You need hpasm installed and activated. Here is what I get using hplog -f:

ID TYPE LOCATION STATUS REDUNDANT FAN SPEED
1 Basic Fan I/O Zone Nominal Yes -------
2 Basic Fan I/O Zone Nominal Yes -------
3 Basic Fan Memory Board Nominal Yes -------
4 Basic Fan Memory Board Nominal Yes -------
5 Basic Fan Processor Zone Nominal Yes -------
6 Basic Fan Processor Zone Nominal Yes -------
7 Basic Fan Processor Zone Nominal Yes -------
8 Pwr. Supply Pwr. Supply Bay Nominal N/A Normal
9 Pwr. Supply Pwr. Supply Bay Nominal N/A Normal

If I stop hpasm and try hplog -f I get:

hpinterface: msgget: No such file or directory
hplog: Cannot open /dev/cpqhealth/proc.
Could not get temperature data. Make sure hpasm
is installed and activated


Regards,
Ross

The whole big hpasm package or is "hpasmd" the "hpasm daemon" still enough?

And what does the "( 10)" in the SPEED column mean?

Robert,

The hp Server Management Drivers and Agents (hpasm) package is a collection of driver and tools which enables monitoring of fans, power supplies, temperature and other management events. This package includes basic server support too. One easy way to see what hpasm is composed of is this:

# service hpasm status
hpasmd is running...
Status of Foundation Agents (cmafdtn): cmawebd cmathreshd cmahostd cmapeerd
cmawebd is running...
cmathreshd is running...
cmahostd is running...
cmapeerd is running...
Status of Server Agents (cmasvr): cmastdeqd cmahealthd cmaperfd
cmastdeqd is running...
cmahealthd is running...
cmaperfd is running...

I think cmahealthd is the one providing the info about the fans.

HTH,
Ross
