How to Use the ILOM Command-Line Interface to View the Sensor Readings

Before You Begin

To view sensor readings, you need the Read Only (o) role enabled.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI.
2. Type the following commands to navigate to the sensor target and then to view the sensor properties:

   ->cd target

   ->show

   where target is the sensor that you want to view.

   For example, you can specify the following path to view a temperature reading of the system's ambient air intake:

   ->cd /SYS/T_AMB

   ->show

   The properties that describes the sensor target appear. For example:

   Properties:
           type = Temperature
           ipmi_name = T_AMB
           class = Threshold Sensor
           value = 18.000 degree C
           upper_nonrecov_threshold = 45.000 degree C
           upper_critical_threshold = 40.000 degree C
           upper_noncritical_threshold = N/A
           lower_noncritical_threshold = N/A
           lower_critical_threshold = N/A
           lower_nonrecov_threshold = N/A
           alarm_status = cleared
    

3. To view a discrete sensor reading, type the following commands:

   ->cd target

   ->show

   where target is the sensor that you want to view.

   The properties that describe the discrete sensor target appear. For example:

   • Type = Entity Presence

   • Class = Discrete Indicator

   • Value = Present

   For specific details about the type of discrete or threshold sensor targets you can access, as well as the paths to access them, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Supplement for the Sun Fire X4800 Server.
