Setting the fans via the ipmi tools

Question

I have several Dell R620 that are in use. Recently, the cooling of the fans has come into question. I've yum-installed the ipmitool. An

# ipmitool sensor

shows me the information I want to know. What I don't see is the command(s) to set/reset/increase the air flow of the fans.

I don't want to power down each machine and go into the iDRAC Thermal Settings.

Does anyone know the command to set the max exhaust temperature and/or the ThermalBase Algorithm?

Answer 1

I don't think it's possible, ipmi is rather limited.
You can try delloem, mc or nm commands, however I didn't see proper options in my version while using Dell PowerEdge 2950.

This question better fits Server Fault, you could try there.
