When syslog messages display a change in fan speed, you can identify which sensors triggered the
change by checking show chassis and show fan-threshold command output and looking for
sensors with temperatures near threshold boundaries.Table 39 lists the associations between the
show chassis, show fan-threshold, and fan-threshold commands.
A “thermal block” refers to the group of high and low thresholds for all fan speed levels.
TABLE 38 Temperature threshold information for modules and fan speeds
This field... Displays...
Thermal Sensor Control Block
(THERMAL_SENSOR_TEST_RULE_<
module>)
The temperature threshold information for the various modules. The
<module> parameter indicates the following:
• MP – The active management module
• STANDBY_MP – The standby management module
• SNM – The switch fabric module
• LP – An interface module
Fan Speed Low or Med or Med-Hi or
Hi
The current setting of the low and high temperature thresholds for the low,
medium, medium-high, and high fan speeds.
NOTE: As indicated in Table 37 on page 236, the low fan speed for each
module does not have a default low temperature threshold value,
nor can you configure this value. The “-1” value that appears in the
Fan Speed Low field for each module is a Brocade internal value
only.
State = 0 (FAN_STATE_LOW) For Brocade internal use only.
max_ts_shut_off_count For Brocade internal use only.
shut_off_count = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 For Brocade internal use only.
