I have a dell PowerEdge R720xd. And I'm trying to reduce the fan speed a bit. I stubled across this script and when I tried executing it using docker I get the following error when doing sudo docker logs (containername).

iDRAC/IPMI username: root iDRAC/IPMI password: calvin /!\ Your server isn't a Dell product. Exiting.

Any fix for this?

Hello,

Can you give me the full output to help me diagnose ?
what OS are you running ?
are you trying to run this docker in local mode or LAN mode ?

2 possible things :

Upgrade your firmwares (use platform specific Dell bootable ISO)
install ipmitool package then run ipmitool -I open fru and send me the full output

Thanks for reaching out! But I already solved it.

For those who are having the same issue my fix was not to run the container in a virtual machine. After putting it on a physical machine what was running ubuntu it fixed the issue!
