This python script checks the HDD sensors of an R710 (HDD's connected via raid controller supported in MegaCLI) and the CPU temperatures (Using LM-Sensors).
It check this to predefined temperture values and sends an IPMI command to the controller (ip, username, password required.)
It's recommended to install this script via systemd, see the .service file provided. You can install it as follows:
# Place the file in the systemd directory
nano /etc/systemd/system/fan-controller.service
# Make executable
chmod 644 fan-controller.service
# Reload systemd, enable the service and start it.
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable fan-controller.service
systemctl start fan-controller.service
# Check to see if it's running
service fan-controller status
This allows the script to be enabled at boot.

The script heavily depends on megacli, it will not run without the dependency. Instead you will see the following error: ZeroDivisionError: division by zero. Make sure you install megacli and test it manually before running the script. See issue #1 for further instructions.
