eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by IBMChassisTempTest

Hardware components in the BladeCenter Chassis are configured to operate within a certain temperature range. When the temperature of components suddenly soars/drops for any abnormal reason, temperature of the chassis will also rise/drop beyond a permissible limit. This in turn will fatally damage the hardware components of the target chassis. This is why, it is important for administrators to periodically check the temperature of the components in the chassis. This can be easily done using the Chassis Temperature test!

This test monitors the core components of the chassis and reports the current temperature of the management modules and front panels.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target chassis being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Mngmntmodule_temp Indicates the current temperature of the management module. Celsius The value of this measure should be within the permissible range. Sudden spikes in the value of this measure indicates abnormal rise/drop in the temperature of the management module. This in turn may affect the operations of the target chassis.
Frontpanel_temp Indicates the current temperature of the front panel1. Celsius The value of this measure should be within the permissible range. A significant rise/drop in the value of this measure is a cause for concern.
Frontpane2_temp Indicates the current temperature of the front panel2. Celsius The value of this measure should be within the permissible range. A significant rise/drop in the value of this measure is a cause for concern.
