ipmctl-show-sensor - Man Page
Shows sensor data for one or more PMem modules
Synopsis
ipmctl show [OPTIONS] -sensor [SENSORS] [TARGETS]
Description
Shows sensor data for one or more PMem modules. This data includes PMem module health, temperatures, percentage remaining, up-time and more.
Options
- -a, -all
Shows all attributes.
NoteThe all and display options are exclusive and may not be used together.
- -d (attributes), -display (attributes)
Filters the returned attributes by explicitly specifying a comma separated list of any of the attributes defined in the Return Data section.
NoteThe all and display options are exclusive and may not be used together.
- -h, -help
Displays help for the command.
- -ddrt
Used to specify DDRT as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.
- -smbus
Used to specify SMBUS as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.
NoteThe -ddrt and -smbus options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together.
- -o (text|nvmxml), -output (text|nvmxml)
Changes the output format. One of: "text" (default) or "nvmxml".
Sensors
- Health
(Default) The current PMem module health as reported in the SMART log. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- MediaTemperature
(Default) The current PMem module media temperature in Celsius. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- AlarmThreshold
- AlarmEnabled
- ThrottlingStopThreshold
- ThrottlingStartThreshold
- ShutdownThreshold
- MaxTemperature
- ControllerTemperature
(Default) The current PMem module controller temperature in Celsius. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- AlarmThreshold
- AlarmEnabled
- ThrottlingStopThreshold
- ThrottlingStartThreshold
- ShutdownThreshold
- MaxTemperature
- PercentageRemaining
(Default) Remaining PMem module’s life as a percentage value of factory expected life span. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- AlarmThreshold
- AlarmEnabled
- LatchedDirtyShutdownCount
(Default) The number of shutdowns without notification over the lifetime of the PMem module. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- UnlatchedDirtyShutdownCount
(Default) The number of shutdowns without notification over the lifetime of the PMem module. This counter is the same as LatchedDirtyShutdownCount except it will always be incremented on a dirty shutdown, even if Latch System Shutdown Status was not enabled. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- PowerOnTime
(Default) The total power-on time over the lifetime of the PMem module. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- UpTime
(Default) The total power-on time since the last power cycle of the PMem module. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- PowerCycles
(Default) The number of power cycles over the lifetime of the PMem module. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
- FwErrorCount
(Default) The total number of firmware error log entries. Attributes include:
- DimmID
- Type
- CurrentValue
Targets
- -dimm [DimmIDs]
Restricts output to the sensors on specific PMem modules by supplying the DIMM target and one or more comma separated PMem module identifiers. The default is to display sensors for all manageable PMem modules.
Examples
Gets all sensor information for all PMem modules.
ipmctl show -sensor
Shows the media temperature sensor for the specified PMem module.
ipmctl show -sensor MediaTemperature -dimm 0x0001
Limitations
In order to successfully execute this command:
- The caller must have the appropriate privileges.
- The specified PMem modules must be manageable by the host software.
Return Data
This command displays a table with a row for each sensor on each PMem module. Applying a specific PMem module or sensor type target limits the number of rows. Applying options can be used to expand or restrict the output.
Note
Supported thresholds for a given sensor are listed as a part of the return data when using the -all or -display flag. Only the alarm threshold is settable.
- DimmID
(Default) The PMem module identifier
- Type
(Default) The sensor type. Refer to the sensor table above.
- CurrentValue
(Default) The current reading followed by the units of measurement (e.g., 57 °C or 25%)
- AlarmThreshold
The threshold value at which an alarm for the respective sensor will be triggered.
- AlarmEnabled
Current state of the alarm threshold, where applicable. One of:
- 0: Disabled
- 1: Enabled
- N/A
- ThrottlingStopThreshold
The threshold value at which firmware will stop throttling to reduce overall thermals and keep the PMem module within safe operating temperatures.
- ThrottlingStartThreshold
The threshold value at which firmware will start throttling to reduce overall thermals and keep the PMem module within safe operating temperatures.
- ShutdownThreshold
The threshold value at which device shutdown will occur.
- MaxTemperature
The highest temperature reported in degrees Celsius for a given media or controller sensor. This value is persistent through Power Loss and is read-only.
