Please forgive me if this is not the correct forum for this topic. I've been running OpenSolaris for quite some time, however I'm still running 2008.11 on the system I'm having trouble with.
For nearly a year my server has been doing great. I have 4GB of RAM, an AMD 4050e CPU, a Foxconn ATX motherboard w/ nVidia chipset, a cd/dvd burner, and an nVidia 7200GS video card. The PSU is an OCZ 600W w/ 4 18a +12V rails. I also have an AthenaPower BP-SATA3051B SATA BackPlane w/ 4 Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 320GB SATA II drives. All of this has been running great for quite some time (over a year). This weekend, the entire system started to fail when under IO load. The failure is an abrupt power off. The IO loads were things like pulling the dump of a mysql db off an internet host, doing a zpool scrub, and once doing a chgrp -R on a directory tree containing about 150GB worth of files and directories. All that said, I'm not really here to ask about these specific problems. I'm here to ask about whether or not I can monitor (e.g. log to a file) the voltage / current that my PSU is providing within Open Solaris. I know with more fancy enterprise class hardware like the Sun Fires, the ILOM has voltage monitors and other nice features...but even there w/o doing some kind of IMPI loop to the management interface, I'm not aware of any mechanism to obtain this information inside the OS. Any thoughts? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
