fan control - DL120 G5 with SLES10

[MP James]

Is there any way to control the fan speed on the DL120 G5 server running 64-bit SLES 10? I can't seem to locate the necessary drivers.

Thanks, Mike

Environment is monitored/controlled via firmware. Make sure you have the latest BIOS and iLO firmware and drivers.

Thanks, the BIOS was already at the latest level, but the ILO firmware upgrade did the trick!

The firmware upgrade solved the problem completely.

HI.

I have Proliant DL 165 G6 and centos 5.5

Is any way to slow down of all 6 fans ? The server is very noisy ! By now it operates at 10K RPM of fan speed.

I have the lates bios and will upgrade to lates BMC firmware (from 3.11 to 3.20). Any chance to lower speed of fans ?

Best regards.
