Before Insight Control can generate the temperature profile, you need to describe the physical positions of your systems and racks. You can do this by importing a database (UCMDB or Microsoft® Excel worksheet), using enclosure information from HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator, or by manually defining rack groups. Then you can view the peak observed temperature in each area of your data center over 24 hours through the Power/Thermal Analysis views page (Figure 9). If you configured thermal limits for any racks, you can immediately see potential violations of these limits.
