<div>
check Server firmware is up to date, check you are using the OEM vendor of ESXi. e.g. HP<br />
<br />
is the server on the HCL.<br />
<br />
That issue is common with vCenter Server - update vCenter Server.

Andrew,<br />
<br />
The ESXi is running the image from HP and the last firmware update was on April 2015 using HP SPP.<br />
<br />
Why is that only happens on this Blade only ?<br />
<br />
From the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator oage, I cannot see any fan issue / alert at all.
</div>


<div>
Hi Andy,<br />
<br />
Yes from the OA page, there are no alerts or error displayed for all blades in the enclosures.<br />
<br />
OA version 4.40
</div>


<div>
I know you said no alerts but are the speeds similar? Are the individual temps in this blade similar to the others?
</div>


<div>
Yes it is similar, here it is Andy:<br />

VMware Alert Host hardware fan status randomly

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
