Resource configuration interface

GUI unavailable.

Compatibility

This resource has only been developed and tested on the HP DL360 G7 and the HP DL120 G7

Resource parameters

  • None

Performance graphs

This probe generates a graph with following performance metrics:

  • ambient temperature (1 minute average): The temperature is in Celsius.
  • temperature threshold (1 minute average): The temperature is in Celsius and the threshold is fixed by the hardware manufacturer.

Alarms

This probe can report following alarm states:

  • WARNING: After 15 minutes during which the ambient temperature surpassed the hardware vendor defined threshold level.
  • UNKNOWN: the test could not be performed.

Possible causes

A high ambient temperature may be due to:
  • a broken fan
  • failure to detect ambient temperature
  • obstructed air outlet
  • air conditioning failure in the datacenter

Possible consequences

A too high ambient temperature reduces the cooling of the machine, its temperature rises up and might damage the hardware.

Possible actions

  • check that the air outlet is not obstructed
  • check the air conditioning
  • replace the SOP
