getting the internal temperaéture of a ds15

[labadie_1]

I manage a bunch of DS10 (Vms 7.2-1 or Vms 7.3-2) and DS15 (Vms 7.3-2).

f$getsyi("temperature_vector")
works fine on all DS10 (which are older than the DS15), but the same on the DS15 gives the well-known

%SYSTEM-E-NOT_LOADED, system service or exec routine is not loaded

I will look closely at a DS15 when I will be near one (!) (do they have the necessary hardware ?) but may be some people could explain me this strange fact.

Regards

Gerard

Gerard,

The TEMPERATURE_VECTOR mechanism through $GETSYI was only implemented on DS10, DS20 and ES40.

There's supposed to be a new system service to implement a system independent interface to the environment sensors, but I can't see it documented yet

Thanks John

And congratulations for your great article about Fake_rtl in the last Openvms Technical Journal.

Thanks. Good to hear that someone read it! Please let me know if you have any problems making it work.

There is a SYS$GET_ENV_SENSORS system service, but it's undocumented.

How do you translate this into something usable? :-

ALPHA_ROB$ ws f$getsyi("temperature_vector")
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF131415191919
ALPHA_ROB$
