This section displays details on the device environment. The following information is available.
Degraded Action allows you to designate what action will be taken when the device environment becomes degraded. The options are:
Continue - The health or wellness driver will signal the operating system to continue functioning in situations where the temperature is too high or too low. In more serious temperature situations, the device shuts down automatically.
Shut Down - The health or wellness driver will signal the operating system to shut down in situations where the temperature is too high or too low. In more serious temperature situations, the device shuts down automatically.
Unknown - You may need to upgrade your driver software or Server Agents or the Server Agent cannot determine the status of the device.
Icon represents the status of the sensor
Green The temperature is within normal operating range.
Yellow The temperature is above normal for airflow obstructions. Make sure that the cover is on. Fan speeds are increased in order to sustain proper cooling. A message is logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) as well as your OS event log. An SNMP trap is generated.
Red The temperature is significantly above normal parameters which could damage your system. System will attempt to shut down gracefully (if configured to do so).
Location Location of the temperature sensor in the system divvied up in zones.
Temperature Current temperature (in Celsius) as mesured in the temperature sensor.
Threshold displays a temperature after which a certain action is triggered. The action is depending on the Type field that is described immediately after this item.
Type The type determines what action will be taken when the threshold is exceeded. "Caution" means that a graceful shutdown is attempted, wherease "Critical" means that power is revoked as soon as that temperature is hit.
CAUTION: Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Proper airflow is possible only when the cover is in place and properly secured.
Icon Status of the Fan
Green The fan operates within normal operating range.
Red The fan has failed and action will be taken (see below).
Location of the fan in the system divvied up in zones.
Type of fan. The value "Spin Detect" signifies the default.
Present
Present - The fan is operational.
Failed - The fan has failed. The device will shut down automatically to prevent damage to hardware or data loss. Replace the fan.
Unknown - You may need to upgrade your driver software or Server Agents and the Server Agent cannot determine the status of this setting.
Hot Pluggable Fans can be replaced during operation and do not require wiring.
Speed of the fan. "Normal" signifies the default.
Redundant If this fan operates in a group of other fans, it is called "redundant". Loss of one redundant fan is not critical; operation can resume.
Redundant Partner is the index of its redundant partner. For non hotpluggable fans, this field is zero.
NOTE: A critical condition is virtually unobservable through the agents, since the power supply will be cut off in the event the thermal condition reaches a permanently damaging level.
