Measures reported by FPRSFanTest
If the fan suddenly stops running, temperature of the Rack server will soar, causing serious damage to the core components of the server. This is why, it's good practice to keep track of the fan status using the FPRSFanTest test. For each fan available on each rack unit, this test reports how healthy the fan is and what is its current operational speed.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Rack Unit: Fan available on the target Rack server being monitored.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| fanStatus |
Indicates the current state of this fan. |
|
The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Unknown |
1 |
| Disabled |
2 |
| Ok |
3 |
| Not manageable |
7 |
| Not present |
8 |
| Failed |
9 |
| Prefailure predicted |
10 |
| Redundant fan failed |
11 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of each fan. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only. |
| fanSpeed |
Indicates the current speed of this fan. |
RPM |
Ideally, the speed of the fan should be within admissible range. A sudden/gradual increase/decrease in the speed of the fan may result in failure of the fan thus causing degradation of the hardware components of the server. |
