Temperature spikeon Ultra 2 plus with no activity
I have Ultra 2 running OS 6.2.4 and everything is running fine so far for last 2-days.
With all the early threads about temperature & Fan issues, I have been monitoring this alittle closer. My understanding is that all the fan issues are fixed now with OS 6.2.x.
I purposly did not use the system over night to monitor the temperature in the morning. I noticed there were two temperature spikes in the middle of the night. See below. Why did they occur at 01:00 and 06:30? I did see some volume activity, but do not know what it was for.
I have nothing running that I know of. There was no network or utilization activity. Nothing was mentioned in the log.
I could not see temperature history with OS 4.2.27, so I never could see this. Volume sync finished 2-hours earlier.
Getting ready to update 2-more legacy ultra+ systems to OS 6.2.4 and want to make sure all is okay before I update.
Any thoughts as to what this was? Should I be concerned?
Wow, I did not know the downloaded logs had so much more information that what what shown on the gui page.
Yes, you were correct. There was some maintenance performed in the middle of the night. It did not happen the following night.
So far, everything looking good with OS 6.2.4 on Legacy Ultra 2 plus.

The downloaded logs are intended primarily for support while the status log in the UI is designed to present key information to users in an easy to follow way.
