Checking Blower and Fan Status
You can remotely check the operating status of a server complex’s
blowers and fans by using software commands and utilities.
NOTE Different HP server and cabinet models have different blower and fan
configurations.
You can perform this procedure using the following methods:
• Service Processor (GSP or MP) on page 288
This procedure (PS command, “Cabinet” option) checks fan and
blower status from the service processor Command menu.
• HP-UX Commands on page 289
This procedure (parstatus -B or parstatus -V -b#) lists the status of
blowers and fans from HP-UX.
• Partition Manager on page 290
This procedure (Complex —> Show Complex Details menu,
Power/Cooling tab) lists fan status from Partition Manager.
Service Processor
(GSP or MP)
This procedure (PS command, “Cabinet” option) checks fan and blower
status from the service processor Command menu.
Step 1. Log in to the complex’s service processor and enter CM to access the
Command menu.
Step 2. Issue the PS command, select the “Cabinet” option, and specify the
cabinet number whose fan status you want to check.
