Chris,

  lshwinfo is the command to run to get the sensors for the p655. If you
set up ssh on the HMC you can run the command remotely
from a script, if you want to monitor the temps for example.
           ssh hscroot@hscname lshwinfo -r sys -e "frame name" -n "object name"
 The HMC Operation manual shows how create a certificate so you don't have
enter the password everytime you

 Be sure to run the "save upgrade data " task before upgrading. This will
allow you to move your customized data to the new HMC.
Network settings, for example. When installing Select F1 at the first
install screen, then F1 again

Regards,
   Walter Lipp

        Subject: HMC and Temperature

Got a "regatta' rack of 6 P655's. Also have an HMC Linux system.

Wanted to get internal temperatures of the P655. "uesensor" does not work
on P655.

Called IBM, they think there might be a backward way or from the HMC, but
they don't have a P655 to test on. (Kinda like a plumber
with leaky pipes or the shoemaker whose children go bare foot ;o)

Anyway, anyone out there know how to get environmental readings from the
P655? [ AIX 5.2 ML02 ]

(By the way, also have a P630 in the same rack. The "uesensor" commands
gives a temperature, but it is always the same number and it
is ridiculously low.)

Through all this, I see that I am not at the latest firmware on the P655
(nor the P630). Also behind on my HBA's. Any
warnings/suggestions before I try to up the firmware on those?

And lastly (I promise), they say I might be able to get the rack
temperature if I run

      /opt/hsc/bin/lshwinfo -r sys -e "frame name" -n "object name"

on the HMC at a command line (CTRL-ALT-F1). But, alas, no such command
exist on my HMC. They would like me to go from version 3.1.2
to 3.2.3 on my HMC. So, any experiences out there on that move? Problems?
  Need I make a DVD backup of the whole HMC first?
