I would like to change the factory-defined temperature threshold in iLO4, specifically I want to set a numerical value for the two sensors that have a threshold of "N/A".
I have a DL380pG8 (with iLO4) that is monitored via Zenoss (a infrastructure monitoring tool).
One of the things monitored is the temperature – the server has 20+ temperature sensors, and all of them have what seems to be a factory-defined threshold beyond which the server might take action (auto shutdown for example)…except for 2 sensors that have a threshold of "N/A".
The issue I have is that my monitoring tool compares current temperature to the threshold, and gives an alert if the temp goes above the threshold. Which is a problem for the two sensors because they constantly give out false alarms as a threshold of "N/A" is taken to be a temperature of zero degrees celcius. I would rather not just ignore those alarms, but set up the iLO to have some sort of value for threshold instead of "N/A".
How do I modify those factory-defined values?

Turns out you can't - the only solution was to force the monitoring software to accept a hard coded value when the threshold wasn't present in iLO4.
