Each Tuesday, we release a quick tech tip video that helps give our users information on various topics relating to our Storinator storage servers.
This week, Mitch is showing you the various ways to find and monitor the component stats inside your Storinator. Check it out below!
Be sure to watch next Tuesday, when we give you another 45Drives tech tip.
Hey Everyone, Mitchell here from 45Drives. Welcome back to another weekly tech tip video. This week I’m going to be showing you how to monitor the components inside your Storinator.
Even though
Storinators are engineered with high
airflow and
cooling in mind, due
to the nature of high-end components along with
sometimes not ideal cooling conditions, we may want to keep an eye
on the temperatures in
our chassis.
Knowing the temperatures of
your components can give you an idea on if there is adequate airflow
in your Storinator and also let you know if a component in your
Storinator isn’t performing as it should.
Today, I’m
going to show you a few different methods you can use to monitor the
component temperatures in your system.
One way to check
out the temps is through the IPMI.
We have previously made tutorials on how to set up IPMI inside your Storinator if you are unsure how to connect. Once inside the IPMI move your cursor over the server health tab then click on Sensor Readings. This is a great place to start and will give you the temperature readings of things like your CPU, chipset, VRMs, peripheral sensor, and your RAM DIMMS. However, this won’t give you drive temperatures.

To get HDD temps:
There are a few
ways to get this data. One of the easier ways is to install the “hdd
temp” module if you are running CentOS:
- Type “yum install hddtemp”
- Once installed run the command “hddtemp” to get the temperature of your drives
- Or you can also use the drive letter as an argument in order to find the temperature of a specific drive
You can also
install the LSA WebGUI tool to easily check the temps of your LSI
card. We have an in-depth guide
on how to do this on our
knowledge base.
One final thing
to note is that each component in your server has different thermal
limits. Doing some research on this will allow you to know the ideal
operating temperatures of your components
