<div id="top"></div> # IDRAC Fan Controller Docker Image
> **Warning** If you update to the latest version, be sure to replace "CPU_TEMPERATURE_TRESHOLD" environment variable with "CPU_TEMPERATURE_T<ins>H</ins>RESHOLD" which was a typo - `IDRAC_HOST` parameter can be set to "local" or to your distant iDRAC's IP address. Default value is "local".
- `IDRAC_USERNAME` parameter is only necessary if you're adressing a distant iDRAC. Default value is "root".
- `IDRAC_PASSWORD` parameter is only necessary if you're adressing a distant iDRAC. Default value is "calvin".
- `FAN_SPEED` parameter can be set as a decimal (from 0 to 100%) or hexadecimal value (from 0x00 to 0x64) you want to set the fans to. Default value is 5(%).
- `CPU_TEMPERATURE_TRESHOLD` parameter is the T°junction (junction temperature) threshold beyond which the Dell fan mode defined in your BIOS will become active again (to protect the server hardware against overheat). Default value is 50(°C).
- `CHECK_INTERVAL` parameter is the time (in seconds) between each temperature check. Default value is 60(s).

<!-- PREREQUISITES -->
## Prerequisites
### iDRAC version
This Docker container only works on Dell PowerEdge servers that support IPMI commands, i.e. < iDRAC 9 firmware 3.30.30.30.
### To access iDRAC over LAN (not needed in "local" mode) :
1. Log into your iDRAC web console
![001](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/37409593/210168273-7d760e47-143e-4a6e-aca7-45b483024139.png)
2. In the left side menu, expand "iDRAC settings", click "Network" then click "IPMI Settings" link at the top of the web page.
![002](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/37409593/210168249-994f29cc-ac9e-4667-84f7-07f6d9a87522.png)
3. Check the "Enable IPMI over LAN" checkbox then click "Apply" button.
![003](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/37409593/210168248-a68982c4-9fe7-40e7-8b2c-b3f06fbfee62.png)
4. Test access to IPMI over LAN running the following commands :
```bash
apt -y install ipmitool
ipmitool -I lanplus \
-H <iDRAC IP address> \
-U <iDRAC username> \
-P <iDRAC password> \
sdr elist all
```

<!-- PARAMETERS -->
## Parameters
All parameters are optional as they have default values (including default iDRAC username and password).
- `IDRAC_HOST` parameter can be set to "local" or to your distant iDRAC's IP address. **Default** value is "local".
- `IDRAC_USERNAME` parameter is only necessary if you're adressing a distant iDRAC. **Default** value is "root".
- `IDRAC_PASSWORD` parameter is only necessary if you're adressing a distant iDRAC. **Default** value is "calvin".
- `FAN_SPEED` parameter can be set as a decimal (from 0 to 100%) or hexadecimaladecimal value (from 0x00 to 0x64) you want to set the fans to. **Default** value is 5(%).
- `CPU_TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD` parameter is the T°junction (junction temperature) threshold beyond which the Dell fan mode defined in your BIOS will become active again (to protect the server hardware against overheat). **Default** value is 50(°C).
- `CHECK_INTERVAL` parameter is the time (in seconds) between each temperature check and potential profile change. **Default** value is 60(s).
- `DISABLE_THIRD_PARTY_PCIE_CARD_DELL_DEFAULT_COOLING_RESPONSE` parameter is a boolean that allows to disable third-party PCIe card Dell default cooling response. **Default** value is false.
<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>
<!-- TROUBLESHOOTING -->
## Troubleshooting
If your server frequently switches back to the default Dell fan mode:
1. Check `Tcase` (case temperature) of your CPU on Intel Ark website and then set `CPU_TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD` to a slightly lower value. Example with my CPUs ([Intel Xeon E5-2630L v2](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/75791/intel-xeon-processor-e52630l-v2-15m-cache-2-40-ghz/specifications.html)) : Tcase = 63°C, I set `CPU_TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD` to 60(°C).
2. If it's already good, adapt your `FAN_SPEED` value to increase the airflow and thus further decrease the temperature of your CPU(s)
3. If neither increasing the fan speed nor increasing the threshold solves your problem, then it may be time to replace your thermal paste
