Why HCI server are too much HOT while it's running?

We have installed the HCI Servers in DMZ panels but while they are running the temprature of HCI servers are too much.

Can anyone tell what is reason ?

Hi,
Maybe can try to relocate the HCI servers on to another rack to see if there is difference

Hi,

If the HCI Servers are running high temprature if because the room don't have theproper cooling system for your servers.

The reason why your DMZ HCI servers are overheating could be hidden in one of these technical shadows. Make sure the fans are rotating and the vents are clear before looking for airflow bottlenecks. Examine the server workload after that. Excessive CPU or memory consumption might fuel thermal fires. If necessary, think about scaling resources or optimizing tasks. An additional possibility for the arsonist is faulty hardware; do diagnostics and replace any malfunctioning fans, power supply, or internal parts. Remember the surroundings: intense heat might exacerbate the fire, so look into air conditioning or other cooling solutions. Lastly, resource-hungry processes or out-of-date software may be the cause. Update drivers and firmware, then look for any software that is behaving erratically. You can identify and stop the overheating by methodically inspecting these suspicions, ensuring that your HCI servers operate cool and long.

Here are some potential reasons and troubleshooting steps:

Potential Reasons for High Temperature:

    Insufficient Cooling:
        Inadequate airflow within the DMZ panels or server room.
        Blocked or dusty air filters on the servers.
        Faulty cooling fans or malfunctioning cooling system in the servers.
        Improper placement of servers within the panels, hindering airflow.
    High Ambient Temperature:
        Excessive heat within the DMZ environment due to insufficient ventilation or cooling.
        Direct sunlight exposure on the servers.
    Hardware Issues:
        Faulty thermal sensors reporting inaccurate temperatures.
        Overloaded or malfunctioning server components generating excessive heat.
    Software Issues:
        Resource-intensive applications or processes running on the servers.
        Incorrect power management settings leading to higher power consumption and heat generation.

Troubleshooting Steps:

    Monitor Temperature:
        Use server management tools or hardware monitoring software to track real-time temperature readings and identify any spikes or fluctuations.
        Monitor ambient temperature within the DMZ panels and server room.

    Inspect Cooling System:
        Ensure proper airflow within the DMZ panels and server room.
        Clean air filters on the servers regularly.
        Verify the functionality of cooling fans and the overall cooling system in the servers.
        Check for any obstructions or improper placement hindering airflow.

    Optimize Software:
        Identify and address resource-intensive applications or processes.
        Adjust power management settings to optimize performance and reduce heat generation.

    Check Hardware:
        If possible, run diagnostics on server components to identify any hardware issues.
        Consider replacing faulty thermal sensors or malfunctioning components if necessary.

high temprature is always related to FANs or cooling in the data center. please check both.

hi, please double check if you have some dust or other that interfer with fans on hci servers. You can check more details on temperature through ibmc web ui of sangfor hci nodes.

The high temperature of HCI (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure) servers in DMZ panels may be attributed to various factors. Firstly, the servers might be under heavy workloads, leading to increased processing demands and subsequent heat generation. Inadequate or inefficient cooling systems in the DMZ panels could contribute to the overheating issue. It's crucial to assess the ambient temperature, airflow, and cooling mechanisms within the DMZ environment to identify potential shortcomings. Furthermore, ensuring proper ventilation, cooling solutions, and regular maintenance of the servers are essential to prevent overheating and maintain optimal performance in HCI systems deployed in DMZ panels.

It is recommended to check whether the temperature of the equipment room, the node fan, and the cooling equipment is normal.

Run a health check using aDeploy, it can scan if the status physical of the server. Maybe your internal fans is not working or something else contributing overheating. External reasons may cause to over heat is the air flow of your DC or the rack airflow.
