Email when AIX temperature goes up

[C. Geier]

Obviously my pseries AIX server knows what the temperature of its
components are at all times. If the temp goes too high, it will
shutoff the server. Is there a way to obtain this temperature and send
me an email or page me at some predefined temp. level?

Hallo C.,

checking the temperature is not possible on all pSeries models. Should you
happen to use PSSP you might try
# hmmon -Q -v temp -s
on some other pSeries servers you might try
# /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uesensor -l
This command comes with devices.chrp.base.diag. However, this will work only
if there are environmental sensors in your server. This is very likely not
the case with the entry level machines.
You might run this command through cron. Cut the output with sed (or any
other suitable command), define a test condition and use the result to send
you an email.
Nonetheless you should look at your servers environment and take care for
proper cooling. Room temperature must not exceed 35 degrees Celsius and
there should be a decent air flow from the rack to the outside.

Andreas
