Aruba 5400 switch PSU temperature sensor

    I have several Aruba 5406R-zl2's in production that from time to time have error messages as those below:

     

    M 04/23/20 11:35:42 02794 chassis: AM1: Internal power supply 2: PoE power exceeds the temperature threshold value. Power supply faulted. Total fault count: 0
    M 04/23/20 11:35:42 02798 chassis: AM1: Internal power supply 2 main PoE power faulted. Total fault count: 1

    M 04/23/20 11:36:42 02794 chassis: AM1: Internal power supply 2: PoE power within the temperature threshold value. Power supply OK. Total fault count: 1
    M 04/23/20 11:36:42 02798 chassis: AM1: Internal power supply 2 main PoE power OK. Total fault count: 1

     

    The error I have a question about is it exceeds the temperature threshold value. However, I seem to be unable to find other temperature commands in the switch than the general command:

     

    switch1# show system temperature

    System Air Temperature
    Temp Current Max Min
    Sensor Temp Temp Temp Threshold OverTemp
    ------- -------- ----- ----- ---------- ---------
    Chassis 23C 26C 20C 55C NO

     

    Is there a command to see the temperature of the PSU's? What are their threshholds set at? The switch has 2 x J9829A PSU's and the power consumption is rather low compared to the 1100 W they can deliver.

     

    switch1# show system power-consumption

    Slot Power Usage:
    Slot Module Description Current Power
    ----- ----------------------------------------- ---------------
    A HP J9538A 8p 10G-GbE SFP+ v2 zl Module 32 W
    E HP J9538A 8p 10G-GbE SFP+ v2 zl Module 30 W
    F HP J9538A 8p 10G-GbE SFP+ v2 zl Module 31 W

    Hi!

     

    Try with the show system power-supply detailed CLI command.

     

    The output should be similar to:

    Hello parnassus,

     

    Thank you for the information. I fear this might be a firmware version issue why I can't see it. We're currently running KB.16.02.0028. Thanks for the help!

    Yep, that command/option was made available since 16.03 (on Aruba 3810M and 5400R zl2 only) so I fear that you shall eventually evaluate an upgrade (suggested target: KB.16.10 [*]) to have that command added to your ArubaOS-Switch's grammar.

     

    [*] Clearly if your switch is actually running on KB.16.02.0028 it means that you are keen to use a "conservative" software version instead of using a cutting-edge one (there are, as always, pro/cons in doing that).
