Sensor Definitions

This chapter lists and describes the Sun Blade X6250 server module sensors for a server module equipped with ILOM 3.0.

Instructions for displaying the sensors are in the ILOM 3.0 documentation collection.

Server Module and System Sensors

The sensors display information about the server module and the chassis.

Asserted or Deasserted Readings

Some sensors are asserted or deasserted. For example PRSNT sensors are asserted if the device is present and deasserted if it is not. ERR sensors are asserted if an error condition is present, and deasserted if it is not. The readings for these sensors are:


Server Module Sensors

The sensors in TABLE 3-2 and TABLE 3-3 display information about conditions on the server module.


TABLE 3-2 Server Module Sensors

Sensor

Description

HOT

Temperature sensor on server module.

SYS/PWRCTLSTATE

Deasserted when the server module can be powered-on.

SYS/SLOTID

The slot where the server module resides:

  • 0 through 9 for Sun Blade 6000 chassis
  • 0 through 11 for Sun Blade 6048 chassis

MB/*

Various motherboard sensors. See TABLE 3-3.


 


TABLE 3-3 Server Module Motherboard Sensors

Sensor

Description

MB/MCH/DLn/PRSNT

DIMM presence

  • L = the channel number (A to D)
  • n = the number of DIMMs for each channel (0 to 3)

MB/Pn/PRSNT

Indicates whether CPU is present. n = 0 or 1.

MB/Pn/V_VCC

Identifies the voltage level for P0 and P1.

MB/REM/PRSNT

Indicates whether RAID Expansion Module is present.

IPMI-only sensors.
The following three sensors are only visible through the IPMI interface.

MB/Pn/TCCAT

n is 0 or 1. This is the PECI reading from CPU core.

ACPI

The host ACPI status.

  • 0x1 - host in S0/G0 (working) state.
  • 0x20 host in S5/G2 (soft-off) state.

NMIBTN

NMI button status (log only sensor). When the NMI button is pressed, this sensor logs a NMI/Diag Interrupt.

DIMMs 0 through 1

MB/T_DIMMn

Reports the temperature of the DIMMs.

  • upper_critical_threshold - 57.000° C
  • upper_noncritical_threshold - 52.000° C

Thermal Overload

MB/THERMOVRD

Server module is requesting 100% fan speed from the chassis to cool itself down. This is not logged.

Ambient Temperature Sensors 0 through 1

MB/T_VRDn

Ambient temperature sensors (n = 0 or 1). Only VRD1 has thresholds.

MB/T_VRD1 thresholds:

  • upper critical threshold - 65° C
  • upper nonrecoverable threshold - 68° C

If the value exceeds the upper nonrecoverable threshold value, the host powers down.

lower critical threshold - 4.488 Volts

MB/V_VTT

upper nonrecoverable threshold - 1.449 Volts

upper critical threshold - 1.386 Volts

lower critical threshold - 1.027 Volts



System Sensors

These sensors appear on the server module’s sensor list, but they provide information about conditions elsewhere in the chassis.

They include:

Server Modules by Slot ID (BLn)

These sensors provide information about the other server modules in the chassis.

If a slot number is missing from this list, it means either:

To see the slot ID of the current server module, see SYS/SLOTID in TABLE 3-2.

The slots ID numbers in TABLE 3-2 are represented by the variable n, where:

Chassis Management Module Sensors

These sensors report on the condition of the Chassis Management Module (CMM).
