Proliant 10gbit nic, increases fanspeed

[Baloba]

Hi.

I´ve just installed a 560SFP+ 10GbE card in my proliant DL380 gen 8 and I notices that my fan speed increased from 20% to 45%.

I´ve found a thread with similar problem when using VMware and the solution is:


https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c05376322

DESCRIPTION​

On certain HPE ProLiant servers configured with Intel adapters, the server may experience an increased fan speed due to a lack of the OCSD/sea of sensors support with VMware ESXi 6.5 Intel native inbox drivers.
Since the OCSD/Sea of sensors support is not present in the driver, the temperature data will not be appropriately read from the sensor and fans may increase speed.

SCOPE​

Any HPE ProLiant server configured with any of the following network adapters, running VMware ESXi 6.5, and the native inbox drivers igbn 0.1.0.0 and ixgben 1.0.0.0:

• HP Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 361i Adapter
• HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366i Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560FLB Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560FLR-SFP+ Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560M Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561FLR-T Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 361T Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366FLR Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366M Adapter
• HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366T Adapter

RESOLUTION​

Install Async VMkLinux driver ixgbe 4.4.1 and igb 6.0.0.229 for 6.0, which has OCSD support,from VMware.com:

Does anyone know if this drivers is availible for proxmox ?

Thanks.

Hi.

Igb drivers in proxmox seemes old

filename: /lib/modules/5.13.19-6-pve/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.ko

Is it possible to update igb drivers manually?

 

[leesteken]

Maybe the optional kernel 5.15 has newer drivers?

Thanks for the suggestion but it didnt help.

Did you find a solution ? I changed for the 530SFP+ but finally not a solution because of the lack of support of SR-IOV on freebsd (pfsense).

Hi.
I didnt find any solution. It ended up removing the nic again.

 

[DrGeek]

I removed it too and I put a 562SFP+

 

[Baloba]

Ok, and that card worked fine?

Hi @Baloba and @DrGeek

So you can confirm that 562SFP+ works fine with hp 360p gen8?

I was checking on hp site for 562SFP+ and says that is compactible with server gen9?
