Hi Sir,

 

I am not sure whether the commands in this post work on X3650 M5 or not but you can give it a shot.

Hi, I have tested and confirmed that ipmitool commands:

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0x07 0x01 <speed> 0x01

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0x07 0x02 <speed> 0x01

 

work in x3550 M5. since last gen fan commands are same between x3550 and x3650, this should work too.

 

I have attached my own edited version of the fan control script by Layla Mah (https://github.com/missmah/ipmi_tools) which you can run as a cron job. note it runs on Perl and requires lm-sensors and ipmitool.

 

Regards

I tried the above 2 commands but nothing seems to be happening. Do I have to enable something first? I can use impitool and read sensor data etc.

did you run the script?

 

sudo perl <path_to_script>

 

in addition, the x3650 might have additional fan zones to control., so you should also consider:

 

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0x07 0x03 50 0x01

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0x07 0x04 50 0x01

...etc if for example you want 50% speed on zones 3 and 4.

 

set custom fan curves at your own risk.

 

regards
