i don't know if this particular HP system is certified to use with solaris... but from the output i don't looks like it is.
check the HP documentation for the supported operating systems and look if there are drivers available for solaris.

i came accross an article where it says that these commands have limited scope for X86 and does not support display of temperatures. This is a X86 system i am using . Do anyone have any idea on this ?
