Crucial Paradigm

So today I was tasked with creating an entire system that does ubuntu automated installations, the first hurdle was actually getting ubuntu automated deployment, unfortunately there was a lot of misguidance laying around the net on the best way to approach this, so this is my attempt… it worked and I think it does the job…

If you have noticed a Critical alert on the top left hand side of new Supermicro IPMI cards, this can usally be cleared easily by doing the following:

1. Login to IMPI
2. Go to Server Health -> Sensor Readings
3. Hit the Clear Chassis Intrusion Button.

The error should now be gone! If not, check the sensor reading for anything else abnormal.

This is a the quick easy way to get lmsensors installed on your server (without having to compile kernel modules, etc):

1. Run: yum install sensor
2. Run: sensors-detect (to configure sensor automatically)
3. Run: restart senors
4. sensors

With lm_sensors you can view system temperature, fan speeds, voltages, etc.  Its a great way to monitor some of the finer aspects of your server.
