This new motherboard I bought to replace the older one (bricked idrac) seems to be with one of the fan's sensor failing (B1 i guess). Once it seems like every fan has 2 sensors for redundancy purposes and the B2 sensor is allright, everything is fine. The thing is: the frontal lights keep blinking. These two, actually:
Id like to be able to force the system to ignore fan's B1 sensor problems at all. Is that possible? I dont want to turn off alerts for anything else, only for this faulty fan sensor.
I already swapped fans to see what happens and nothing happens, the error persists and in the same sensor. Ive swapped fan2 and 3 the first time I saw the error, then after repeating the test in the lifecycle, the error persists and it still happens in the FAN2 sensor. I guess this sensor is at the motherboard, or at least there is a certain malfunctioning circuit in it that receives the information from the sensor in the fan. Anyway I only want to disable the warning, I think its possible by what I saw in the web interface of IDRAC:
About updating... This motherboard is replacing another one that was working perfectly fine... until I tried to update the IDRAC and got it bricked. I dont think I want to update firmwares anymore in my Dells.
Guys, I also need help to deal with the following: I have now 2 identical machines running at the same place. The one with no fan's sensors failing have many vms running and show these RPM in the second print. The one with 1 malfunctioning sensor have no VM running (its ESXi is idle atm) and shows the RPM you can see in the first print.
How can I make the machine with the malfunctioning sensor to use the default cooling profile, so its fans can get back to regular speed? They are probably running much faster than they should because this malfunctioning sensor. This machine is almost 10ºC cooler than the one with all sensors working fine.
