How to change sensor threshold on server with BMC

Purpose :

This guide is to provide a simple step-by-step guidance for users to follow on how to
change sensor threshold on server with BMC.

Applicable model list :

All products with BMC functions.

Requirement :

Environment with available ipmitool utility.

Please refer to How to install IPMItool.

Method :

This guide should also be helpful for user with sensor threshold problems to learn
how to change sensor threshold using IPMI.

Refer to following format to modify sensor threshold

 sensor thresh <id> <threshold> <setting>
 id : name of the sensor for which threshold is to be set
 threshold : which threshold to set
 unr = upper non-recoverable
 ucr = upper critical
 unc = upper non-critical
 lnc = lower non-critical
 lcr = lower critical
 lnr = lower non-recoverable
 setting : the value to set the threshold to

sensor thresh <id> lower <lnr> <lcr> <lnc>
 Set all lower thresholds at the same time

sensor thresh <id> upper <unc> <ucr> <unr>
 Set all upper thresholds at the same time


e.g.  Change PSU2_INTAKE-TMP threshold to followings
# ipmitool sensor thresh "PSU2_INTAKE-TMP" 50 60 70
