Temperature Alert

I have the following alert in my Vmware server.  Am unable to clear the alerts.  Went through the knowledge base and I did the following:

1. Tried to reset the sensor

2. Clear the IPMI logs

Seems like the issue is a bit strange.  The readings don't make sense as well.  We are using a HP Server.

HP iLO reports that the temperature sensors are all within normal readings.  Could I have any suggestion.

ESXi uses lm_sensors for hardware monitoring, and this tool needs a lot of config-tweaking. Above all temperature-readings (but sometimes voltage too) are off-scale, and deliver wrong data. This can be corrected using lm_sensor configuration file, where you can define some "correction factors" for individual sensor-readings, i.e. multiplication by (-1) if positive Voltage is reported as negative, or adding constant +50 to get proper temperature values. I recommend to check lm_sensors forum and your hardware...
