Monitoring hardware components

Use the following commands to monitor the hardware components:

  • show hardware-health appliance component=

    Use this command to view the health of the hardware components and the primary and expansion shelves. The options for the component are All/Product/Fan/Power/Temperature/CPU/Network/PCI/Firmware/ Partition/RAID/Disk/DIMM/Certificate/CMOSBattery/DIMMPopulation/ StorageStatus/Connection)[all]

    To view the health of the primary shelf, use the show hardware-health primary-shelf component= command. For example:

    show hardware-health primary-shelf component=FAN

    To view the health of the expansion shelf use the show hardware-health expansion-shelf component= tray-id= command where tray-id is the ID of the expansion shelf. For example:

    show hardware-health expansion-shelf component=FAN tray-id=1

  • show hardware-errors

    Use this command to view the errors that are related to the hardware components.
