wrong reading of temperatures

[hetz]

Hi,

I've installed ESXI 6.5U1 along VCSA on 2 Dell R610 nodes.

Looking at the fans and temperature on one of the nodes show some really insane temperatures that would probably cause the system either to shutdown or fry itself.

Is there some driver that I need to install in order to get the corrects readings of fans, temperatures and other hardware info for those machines? (they're EOL so I don't think Dell gives any drivers, not sure though for vSphere 6.5...)

SSH into your system logging in as ‘root’ with your administrator password.

You can check the status with ‘esxcli system wbem get’ and you’ll notice that enabled is ‘false’ by default.

Enable wbem by using esxcli system wbem set -e 1. Wait for a couple of minutes [I found it took about 15 before it showed], and then update the Hardware Health Status tab.

Did you use the Dell customized ISO to install ESXi? Also, just FYI that the R610s (and all the 11th gen servers) are not officially supported on 6.5.
