Can you post the output of the temperature and fan status?.

Are you certain you're on current firmware with the system?.

You should be able to see a 3-D heat map of the server using your ILO's temperature menu. Do you have a problem with ambient temperature in your environment? See: HP D元80 G6: Where is Temperature Sensor 30 (I/O Board Zone)? There's no need to use ipmitool and lm_sensors on HP equipment, as purpose-built tools exist.ĭespite this, the ILO4 governs many of these features and out of the box, most Gen8 servers are pretty quiet.

In order to maximize the benefit of the hardware and its monitoring and temperature regulation features, you should install the HP Management Agents (for RHEL6) or ( SuSE) on the system. Given the experience with my personal laptop running openSUSE 13.1, in which the system fan is not always at maximum speed but spins at a much higher speed than Windows on the same machine, is it possible to govern fan speed in this server machine to reasonable noise levels? So it seems not a driver/module issue on my kernel version. Well, the server has only 2 fans mounted in the front panel. But these drivers don't seem to include thermal/fan sensors: they are mainly RAID and Ethernet drivers.Īnyway, running ipmitool sdr displays fan speed for 3 fans at 33%. I know that HP released drivers for RHEL/SLES and they are freely downloadable. The fans are still noisy when compared to Windows. I also took care to install lm_sensors, ipmitool and their related sensor packages. Today I have successfully installed and upgraded (via zypper dist-upgrade) openSUSE 13.1 to get the latest version of kernel and modules. The first difference we noticed between Windows (another identical machine running it) and Linux is fan noise: it's been a common problem around the Internet for HP servers. Our OS choice runs between CentOS 6.5 and openSUSE 13.1, though the server is certified for RHEL/SLES. We bought an HP ProLiant D元20e Gen8 v2 server at office, to be used to run internal applications under Linux.
