Modifying temperature threshold

[McTrex]

Hello,

I am being spammed by messages regarding the Power Enclosure temperature being too high.

<25>Apr 18 09:48:44 hostname cpqriisd: Caution : Machine Environment : Power Enclosure Overheating (Zone 1, Location Power Supply, Temperature 35C, Enclosure Serial Number xxxxxxxxxx)

The temperature constantly switches between 35 and 34 degrees, which is exactly the threshold. So I get some thousand or more e-mails a day...

How can I raise the temperature threshold so that I will only be warned when the temperature rises significantly?

We are running PSP 7.11 on RHEL 3.0.

Thanks in advance,
Marco

You can't. You are seriously reducing the useful life of the equipment by operating it that high.

Have you implemented the hot-zone/cool-zone data center design?

Yes, we absolutely have.

The unfortunate thing is we're generating too much warmth for the datacenter airco to handle.

FYI, we are running 48 HP BL20p/BL30p blade servers, plus 2 NetApp Filers, plus a Cisco 6509 switch per 3 racks. That generates a lot of heat and we know it. But there isn't much we can do about it. Especially the blades are generating a lot of hot air.

Regards,
Marco
