Solaris 8 system Temperature

[jared71]

Hi all,

I have reason to believe my Sun Netra is shutting down due to system temp issues, but is not logging any messages. What I'd like to do is come up with a script that logs the system temp at various intervals. Does anyone know of a commnad that I can invoke from a shell that will print the system's chassis internal temperature?

Thanks,
Jared

prtdiag normally gives you temperature information.

/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v

Thanks andy171, but that didn't seem to give me any temperature data. Any other ideas?

Did you type /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v | grep -i temp ? Can you provide the output of the prtdiag command?

prtdiag should give you some CPU temps, I've used this a lot in the past.

keep in mind :
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v

in this way you will never have problems whith hardware type

Some Netras (like T1 105), don't support temperature monitoring, so prtdiag will show nothing, if you have LOM installed you can check if your Netra support this "feature"
by trying to read temperature values and settings, eg:

# lom -t

on my Netra T1 105 will show:
Temperature monitoring not supported by this device,

on a Netra T4 will show:
# lom -t
System Temperature Sensors:
1 Enclosure 23 degC : warning 67 degC : shutdown 72 degC
System Over-temperature Sensors:
1 CPU status=ok

if you don't have LOM (Lights Out Management) installed you can install from "Software Supplement" CD

Hope it helps,

is LOM only a Netra thing ?
