Re: Proliant DL380G3, cpqasm module and fan noise
Hello,
As a matter of comparison:

On my ML350 G3, I use backports.org 's kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp
I got the according kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686-smp and I ran HPrpm2deb.sh.
# lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
cpqasm 294848 0 (unused)
cpqevt 7232 0 [cpqasm]
I have :

cpqevt 7200 2 [cpqasm]

I have :

1 Auto. Speed Processor Zone Nominal N/A Automatic
2 Auto. Speed I/O Zone Nominal N/A Automatic
Do I have to load/enable other modules or functionality in kernel or RBSU?
Well, I don't think so. Feel free to contact me in private (we should publish
the solution on the list) to compare our two installations.
How can I control the fans, not "just" monitor them?
I don't know if you can actually monitor them. Perhaps with
SNMP, but I am just a newbie with those HP Proliant servers
(and in general :-) ).
I think the ASIC on the motherboard that controls the health has
the control of the fans speed according to the temperatures. Also,
there's a little switch to choose the position : upright tower
(vertical) or rack (horizontal). I think that the cooperation of
the two fans for proper air flow isn't the same on both positions.
This leads me to say that probably you definitely not have the
hand on the fan speed.
The proper loading of the cpqasm module should calm down you fans.
HTH and cheers,
