Temperature Threshold Violations
Temperature Threshold Violations
Each module in the chassis has at least two temperature sensors. Each temperature sensor is configured
with a minor and a major threshold.
Example 4-3
gives the
show environment temperature
CLI
command sample output. It shows how temperature information can be retrieved from the switch.
Choose
Physical > Temperature Sensors
on Device Manager to view a similar output.

The intake sensor, located at the airflow intake on the module, is the most critical indicator of module
temperature. All Cisco SAN-OS actions are taken when the major threshold of an intake sensor is
exceeded.
A minor threshold violation or a major threshold violation on an outlet sensor results in the following
system message:
Error Message
PLATFORM-0-MOD_TEMPMAJALRM: Module [dec] reported major temperature
alarm.
Explanation
Module in the slot exceeded a major temperature threshold.
Recommended Action
Enter the
show environment temperature
CLI command or choose
Physical
> Temperature Sensors
on Device Manager to collect more information.
This violation also generates a Call Home event and an SNMP notification.
A major temperature threshold violation on a module intake sensor results in the following system
message:
Error Message
PLATFORM-0-MOD_TEMPSHUTDOWN: Module [dec] powered down due to major
temperature alarm.
Explanation
Module shutdown due to temperature exceeding major threshold.
Recommended Action
Enter
show environment temperature
CLI command or similar Fabric
Manager/Device Manager command to collect more information.
