HP ProLiant 1500 Compaq Tips and Tricks for NetWare 5 - Page 9

Compaq Tips and Tricks for NetWare 5 9 • Archiving the IML to a data file for input to a text editor or spreadsheet application or other IML Viewer utility • Clearing the IML • Refreshing (manually re-reading and displaying entire IML) • Customizing the Integrated Management Display (IMD) The IML Viewer supports the viewing and management of data displayed on the Compaq IMD, an integrated LCD panel installed on many of the latest Compaq servers. And the best part? You can customize the IMD to suit your needs and preferences. IMPORTANT TIP: CPQIML.NLM requires CPQHLTH.NLM v4.04 or later for complete functionality. Although CPQIML.NLM v1.00 is compatible with earlier versions of CPQHLTH.NLM, some CPQIML.NLM capabilities might not be available. CPQIML.NLM provides a rich set of online user messages describing all error conditions and suggested actions that you could encounter during execution of the utility. It also provides context-sensitive help panels through the F1 function key for all CPQIML.NLM features. Compaq Power Subsystem Utility (CPQPOWER.NLM) The Compaq Power Subsystem Utility (CPQPOWER.NLM) is another Compaq server utility designed to provide online readings of all sensors within your server power supply, as monitored by CPQHLTH.NLM. IMPORTANT TIP: CPQHLTH.NLM must be running and CPQPOWER.NLM must be able to communicate with it successfully in order to get the power supply data. In addition, the utility incorporates the Compaq Power Down Manager that allows you to configure the intelligent power switch on ProLiant servers. To enable this feature, just add the SoftPwr parameter to the load CPQHLTH.NLM command. CPQHLTH -SoftPwr Simple enough? Good. After installation, CPQPOWER.NLM will display the following information: • Power utilization and consumption: capacity, current usage, available, voltage, and temperature fan speed • Configuration of intelligent power switch (Compaq Power Down Manager) Servers with this feature can (1) do nothing when the power switch is turned off (Power Down Lock), (2) power down as soon as the power switch is turned off, or (3) gracefully down when the power switch is pressed and before power is shut off to the server, thus, preventing accidental data corruption or loss. This feature is supported on all Compaq ProLiant servers. • Redundant or non-redundant status of power supply • System heat output status 118R-1099A-WWEN
