I am looking at working out how to control the fans in a HP DL360.
Right now, the fans start low, but if the room gets warm, they go to
high (Boeing 747) volume, and the only way to put them back down to
low, is a reboot, PITA.
It looks like the HP website mentions OS specific "system health
drivers", which doesn't help too much as it is for Windows and
precompiled.
Does anyone have any idea on where to start? I am willing to dive
into the source, but have never hacked on OpenBSD or an OS before, and
not sure where to begin. I am willing to learn and have a system I
can crash with abandon. Or even if there is a budding hacker out
there, I can provide access to a freshly formatted box.

Actually these should be able to control themselves without intervention from
the OS (meaning no HP software installed). Does it happen on other OS'es as
well? OpenBSD hardware monitoring may be doing something the management
processor doesn't like, causing the fans to rev up and not go down again.
