[Orca-users] Re: orca server memory problem

[karl.rossing at federated.ca]

I use prtdiag to check the temparature. But prtdiag differs from system to
system(e450 output is different from a e250)

here are the temparature settings for the e450:

System Temperatures (Celsius):
------------------------------
AMBIENT    19
CPU 1      40
CPU 2      40
CPU 3      40

This is the output on a e250:
System Temperatures (Celsius):
------------------------------
      CPU0    40
      CPU1    40
       MB0    29
       MB1    23
       PDB    23
      SCSI    22

This is how i check the temparature via the command line on the e450. I
put the following in my .kshrc
export AMBIENT=$(/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v | grep "^AMBIENT" |
awk '{print $2}')
export AMBIENTF=$(echo "$AMBIENT*9/5+32" | bc)
alias -x checktemp='echo "\n$AMBIENT celcius or $AMBIENTF farenheit\n"'

I'm not suggesting using this with orca, but this is how i currently do
it.

Brian,

Tracking down these memory problems is really tough, especially in
Perl.  I would continue using the script you use for now.

I do think adding temperature would be a useful addition and within
the scope of orcallator.  If you can add this to orcallator.se, which
is written in a C-like language, that would be great.

If you can get the temperature information without spawning another
process from orcallator.se, that would be ideal.  What program is
commonly used to get this data?

Regards,
Blair
