Temperature reports in IT Assistant
Hi,
I'm trying to get some temperature reports on all our servers so that we can measure the general temperatures of the servers. There does not seem to be an easy way of getting this through ITA.
Have looked at the reports on ITA itself I cannot see the BMC Ambient Temperature field that is contained on the servers. I don't know if this is something that should be selected in the setup of ITA or whether retrospectively we can make any changes within ITA to trap this information. So although I can set an alert on the servers for the maximum and minimum thresholds I cannot create a report that shows me the temps on all the servers.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

I don't think there is a way to generate a report for that directly in ITA. However, you do have OMSA installed in all your servers, and that means you have the OpenManage CLI installed too. The manual
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/6.2/en/CLI/PDF/CLIUG.pdf
... on page 58, has a command where you can query the temperature probes for their current values. If you write a script to query those values and store the results in a file, you can execute it via ITA's ability to push a command line to a server. It takes extra work, but that should do what you want.
