Hello my server;
iLO 4
ProLiant DL380p Gen8

I get an error when I say sh Install.sh. What am I missing?

Hello,
This could be a request for a new feature or something that is already available that I overlooked.

As a user, it would be beneficial if the max 255 fan state calls were logged in a verbose manner without having to monitor journalctl. The goal is to better identify environment triggers/patterns which are triggering a higher temp and max fan speed.

Hi and first of all thanks for this little script. It runs quite well but I have a problem with the cronjob/service I think. IP and user/pwd are fine, the script seems to connect without problems and read the CPU temps (as can be seen from the below as well). I have these crontab entries in the sudo'ed crontab -e:

@reboot systemctl start autofan
*/10 * * * * systemctl restart autofan

The reason I have the restart every 10 minutes is because it seems the service crashes and this way the fans are adjusted every 10 minutes which for my use case seems sufficient. Of course it would be better if the service just "ran", but I don't know why it crashes all the time.

Thanks for your help, happy to do some troubleshooting if you need additional log info.

Hi will this work with dl360 g6?

Need to fix Issue WIth Install script (most likely a formatting error )

I got this working nicely on a ProLiant DL160 Gen9 running Promxox.

System ROM | U20 v3.30 (09/21/2023)
iLO Firmware Version | 2.73 Feb 11 2020

I did have to run this separately to get the right software installed, being a Gen 9:

apt-get install pciutils wmtemp lm-sensors
wget http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/debian/pool/non-free/hp-ams_2.8.3-3056.1ubuntu16_amd64.deb
wget http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/debian/pool/non-free/hp-health_10.80-1874.10_amd64.deb
wget http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/debian/pool/non-free/hp-snmp-agents_10.60-2953.16_amd64.deb
dpkg --install hp-ams_2.8.3-3056.1ubuntu16_amd64.deb
dpkg --force-all --install hp-health_10.80-1874.10_amd64.deb
dpkg --install hp-snmp-agents_10.60-2953.16_amd64.deb

If you follow the guide and copy & paste the wget install.sh line in README.md line 22 it fails with a 404:

(Download using wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/That-Guy-Jack/HP-ILO-Fan-Control/main/Install.sh)

should be:

(Download using wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/That-Guy-Jack/HP-ILO-Fan-Control/main/install.sh)

Note the uppercase "i" in install.sh.

Confirmed working on the 2U StoreEasy 1650 Storage server.

Hi there. Sadly the sshpass is not working for me on proxmox. Any idea?

I even executed it manually like
sshpass -p myIloPw ssh myIloUsr@MyIloIp 'fan p 3 max 255'
but seams not to work. Only when I connect over ssh directly and use the fan p 3 max 255 it works.

sshpass cannot run in esxi 8.0
In addition, the "#!/bin/bash" at the beginning of the esxi8.0 script will report an error, which needs to be modified to “#!/ bin/sh”

Hello when i switched the switch s6 in ON Position i'm not able to boot the OS installed on the hard drives

You can add DL80 Gen9 to the list. It works very well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

There is one issue I've been unable to resolve. There is a sensor id 07FB00 that is tied to the on-board drive controller - B140i. I cannot address that sensor. All the rest are 1-2 digits.

Is there a way to allow it to address that sensor? Or any other known work-around?

Thank you, thank you.

Hi does somebody has succeded to install the script on a DL380p Gen8 esxi 8?

When trying to install with install.sh, I've the following errors:
You are about to download and install the required items for HP ILO4 fan control.
./install.sh: read: line 10: illegal option -e
./install.sh: line 80: syntax error: bad substitution

further sshpass doesn't seems to work on esxi 8, whatever I tried I've still the access denied.
exemple :
sshpass -p XXX ssh [email protected]
-sh: sshpass: Operation denied
I've tried on a distant ubuntu and the command works...

Thanks a lot

Hi! My g8 it's a ESXi environment and I have 2 ways to implement this.

• Make a ubuntu VM and install script on it.
• In any way, install this on ESXi.

There are any way already explored to make it work on ESXi?

Thanks a lot!

Hi there, thanks for this amazing piece of software! I use a G9 and it seems to work fine. However I do have a question which may seem dumb, however I just want to check I get this right:

• below if Tx > xx refers to temperature in Celsius, right? per the sensor reading the core temp, right?
• is the scale used the same as the 0-255 from the fan info?
• how does this affect the 6 fans in the server, does it ramp them all up equally (left side, right side?)

Sorry, just getting started with this whole fan control piece. I assume the fan groupings being 0-5 are represented below with the 0-1-2 and 3-4-5.

Appreciate just a little bit more clarity! Cheers!

PS: I edited the below MAX to 160 to avoid the fans going off on full blast..

`echo "==============="
echo "CPU 2 Temp $T2 C"
echo "==============="

if [[ $T2 > 67 ]]
then
sshpass -p $PASSWORD ssh $USERNAME@$ILOIP 'fan p 0 max 160'
sshpass -p $PASSWORD ssh $USERNAME@$ILOIP 'fan p 1 max 160'
sshpass -p $PASSWORD ssh $USERNAME@$ILOIP 'fan p 2 max 160'

elif [[ $T2 > 58 ]]
then
sshpass -p $PASSWORD ssh $USERNAME@$ILOIP 'fan p 0 max 39'
sshpass -p $PASSWORD ssh $USERNAME@$ILOIP 'fan p 1 max 39'
sshpass -p $PASSWORD ssh $USERNAME@$ILOIP 'fan p 2 max 39'
elif [[ $T2 > 54 ]]
then
`

Thought I would bring this to attention here: https://github.com/Aterfax/ilo4_unlock/blob/main/scripts/kg-silence-dl380pG8-screen-method.sh

tl;dr - This is an alternative script which uses SSH keys and screen to preserve the first TTY for further input and to see further output.

This avoids the bug where only the first SSH session / TTY gets fan info stdout.

You may want to adopt parts of this method into your existing scripts so I figured I'd leave an issue rather than a PR.
