Installing and Using Utilities
Current Status of Temperature, Voltage and Fan Sensors
Some modes are equipped with temperature/voltage/fan sensors that do not have information on status, current values, rpm, threshold etc. Therefore, if you view such a sensor on NEC ESMPRO Manager, it may be displayed as follows:
The status becomes “Unknown” (grayed out) on the data viewer. The current value or rpm becomes “Unknown” on data viewer. The status is grayed out on the Web component data viewer.
The current value or rpm becomes blank on the Web component data viewer.
Even if the sensor is displayed like stated above, it is monitoring the server.
Actions to Take When Temperature/Voltage Error Occurs on CPU/PCI Modules
At the time when a temperature or voltage error occurs on CPU/PCI module, necessary actions will differ depending on their status as shown below. You can check the status of each module from the data viewer of NEC ESMPRO Manager or ft server utility.
Status | Actions |
Duplex | Stop the failed CPU/PCI module. |
Simplex | Shut down the system. |
Other than duplex or simplex | No action is required. |
TIPS:
If the status is “Empty,” the module is not mounted. Sensor monitoring is not conducted.
If disks are mounted on PCI modules, the status of both modules is “Simplex” while the disks are mirrored. Temperature or voltage error occurring during disk mirroring will result in the system to shut down.
Total Status of the PCI Module
When each module’s status is simplex, the total status of the PCI module displayed on the Data Viewer is yellow (warning) and the status will be reflected to the server status. The ft control software 3.0 or later does not display the information on Ethernet or SCSI adapter on the tree of the Data Viewer. If an error occurs on an Ethernet or SCSI adapter, view the alert reports.
CPU Information
In [CPU Information] of Data Viewer’s system tree, the external clock is listed as “Unknown.”
