HP OneView - Manual (Page 198)

Prerequisites
•
Minimum required privileges: Server administrator.
•
You have created a data center and positioned your racks in it.
•
The placement of racks in your data center accurately depicts their physical locations.
•
You have specified a thermal limit for your rack using the Racks screen, if your policy dictates
a limit (optional).
Temperature collection and visualization details
•
The visualization displays peak rack temperature using a color-coded system. The rack is
colored based on the highest peak temperature (over the last 24 hours) of the device in the
rack with the highest peak temperature recorded (of devices which support ambient temperature
history reporting).
•
Temperatures are determined using the temperature utilization data collected from each device.
•
Background data collection occurs at least once a day, so the reported peak temperature for
a rack will be within the past 48 hours.
•
Racks without an observed peak temperature with 48 hours are depicted without color coding
(gray).
