power supply faulty on linux server

[bullz]

Hi

How to check the power supply status on Linux server.

[Matti_Kurkela]

If the server is responsive, it has at least one working power supply :)

Beyond that, it depends on server manufacturer and model.

Blade systems won't necessarily "own" any power supplies at all: in that case, the power supplies are supposed to be monitored through the chassis management system (= the OA module in a HP c-class blade chassis).

On HP Proliants, you should install at least the hp-health RPM (or "hpasm" RPM with older models). It includes the "hpasmcli" command, which can be used (among other things) to check the power supply state.

If you have the System Management Homepage installed, it will indicate failed components too.

What kind of server is it? If it is something with a standard ATX supply, then a good DVM would be your best bet.
