Fan; Icmb - HP Carrier-grade cc2300 User Manual

Fan

The fan sensor screen displays actual fan RPM for systems that support this feature. The threshold
appears in terms of the RPM value. If the current fan RPM value falls below the specified
threshold value, then the sensor status changes and an event generates. For the systems that do not
support fan RPM threshold, the threshold setting is 0 and read-only. If the fan stops, then the
sensor status changes and an event generates.
PIC monitors two types of fans:
•
Rotation-sensing fans—PIC can detect whether a fan has stopped but is not able to indicate
which fan has failed. These fans, together, are treated as a single fan unit. Therefore, event
actions must be configured for all fans together, rather than separately.
•
RPM-sensing fans—PIC can detect whether an individual fan has either slowed or stopped
and will display the actual fan RPM value for systems that support this feature. Each
RPM-sensing fan is independently configurable with its own threshold and event actions.
If a rotation-sensing fan fails or an RPM-sensing fan crosses a threshold, the PIC Console displays
the event as a critical condition via the health branch of the software, and the requested event
actions are carried out.
For systems that do not support a fan RPM threshold, the threshold setting displays a "0" and is
read-only in the PIC Console display.

ICMB

The ICMB dialog allows you to configure options for the Intelligent Chassis Management
Bus (ICMB).
The ICMB feature allows multiple remote devices to be interconnected and management
information shared among them. For example, your managed server could be configured to be an
ICMB primary server and report management information on other ICMB devices connected to it.
Using ICMB, PIC can manage the power state of remote ICMB devices and view FRU information
about those devices. The amount of FRU information available depends on the type of ICMB
device you are trying to manage.
Through the PIC Console, you can switch your view of the primary managed server to one of the
ICMB-managed devices and view the available information on that device without losing the
connection with the primary server. You can change your view back to the primary server or any
other ICMB-managed device at any time. Through the PIC Console, you can configure the ICMB
management features of the primary managed server and the remote ICMB-managed devices.
•
Local ICMB Server Configuration----- - With this option it is possible to enable the local
server as a management point, enable the full sensor view of remote devices, and change the
discovery period for remote devices.
•
Remote ICMB Chassis Configuration----- - With this option it is possible to configure each
remote device discovered via ICMB. You can decide whether to manage the remote device,
enable full sensor view for the remote device, and set the event polling rate for the remote
device.
