lm-sensors doesn't show fan speeds

Hello,

I installed lm_sensors on Centos 7. I run "sudo sensors-detect" and answered it each time with YES.

However when running sensors the only information I get is the temperature data.

# sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +42.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 0:         +40.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 1:         +34.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 2:         +36.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 3:         +38.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 4:         +38.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 8:         +36.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 9:         +39.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 10:       +37.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 11:       +36.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)
Core 12:       +39.0°C (high = +81.0°C, crit = +91.0°C)

PS1: I rebooted the system, but I have the same result.

PS2: The content of "/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors" file, created after the run of "sensors-detect" is:

# Generated by sensors-detect on Tue May 16 21:51:10 2017
# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).

HWMON_MODULES="coretemp"

PS3: /etc/modules doesn't exist.

So my question is why I'm not getting fan speed info when running sensors? What to do to get this information?

Cordially.

Hi,

The fans are part of the FX chassis and not the sleds so they do not report the fan speed. The CMC interface of omconfig are used to monitor fans.

Hi,
I configured the FX2S on its web page to send SNMP data to my Monitoring Management Server.
Go to "chassis overview" -> "Alerts" -> Add the IP address of my Monitoring Management Server", then click on send to do a test.
On the Monitoring management server, I have run the command "nc -lu 162", then I received the data (but in non-comprehensible format (binary)).

Now, I must find a solution to understand what I receive.

Is there a solution for this or another way ?

Thank you very much for your answers.

We do not have anything outside of our own management software. You may be able to use the mib files with another management program. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=YKG8D&fileId=3653612153&osCode=W12R2&productCode=poweredge-fc630&languageCode=en&categoryId=SM

Hello.

The solution for this problem is that the FC430 doen't have FANs. They are located on the chassis (FX2).

Thanks

# Try next command sequence in Linux ( Red-Hat, CentOS ) as root

# First, let's load supporting kernel libraries that can talk with sensors modules:

modprobe ipmi_si

modprobe ipmi_devintf

# Second, let's use ipmitool command locally:

ipmitool sdr list full

 # Should return something like this:
Temp             | 32 degrees C      | ok
Temp             | 32 degrees C      | ok
Ambient Temp     | 22 degrees C      | ok
Planar Temp      | 32 degrees C      | ok

*Note: It is really frustrating to find that DELL representatives providing answers here, rather are Windows & Office Boys, who does not understand UNIX/Linux simply because they do not use this OS.

I just posted this on reddit a few hours ago on getting sensors setup correctly under my XPS 9550 laptop, perhaps it can help someone here or at least point them in the right direction: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/9pdgid/configuring_the_xps_to_play_nice_with_linux/

I don't seem to have the ipmi_si module on my CentOS 7 system. Can you tell me where you got it?

@ecf_at_rapid ,

# yum install OpenIPMI ipmitool

This should install all the necessary modules & tools.
