prtdiag on Netra 240 and 1125
"prtdiag -v" on our Netra 240 servers shows a great bunch of detail, including environmental temps and fan speeds (which is what we want to monitor). However, running "prtdiag -v" on our Netra 1125 servers does not have nearly as much output, and does not include the temps and fan speeds. Is there a different way that should be used to monitor temp and fan speeds on the Netra 1125 servers? Perhaps I need to install some other drivers or software on the 1125s to get the "prtdiag -v" to provide the appropriate output?

I had a similar question to this asked by a customer recently, but the systems were Sun 220R and 280R. The simple answer is that the systems have a very different architecture, the older systems based on the Ultra 60 board don't have as many sensors for environmental monitoring as new systems. Solaris 10 version of prtdiag only supports two options <i>- l</i> and <i>- v</i>.

Thanks for the reply. I might add that I'm running Solaris 8 on both platforms, per the requirements for the application we're running.
pcipsy: [ID 819770 kern.warning] WARNING: pci: Thermal warning detected!
We had a Netra 1125 server shut itself down after the above message, so I was assuming that the information is available to the system at some level. Perhaps not at an application level.

I don't have a Netra on hand right now, so I can test this for you, sorry I can't go futher into it. Is there a difference between the Solaris 8 patch level on the systems. Also, there is a difference in firmware revisions of the systems, obp 3.x for N1125 and obp 4.x for the N240.
