# idrac helper
Really this is a personal python script for myself. If you find it useful, great! If not, that's fine too. If you have a suggestion, I'm all ears. I can't promise I'll implement it, I'm pretty bad at coding. I'll try though, sounds like fun! Maybe...
Anyway, this script is designed to do a few things with my 720xd. It powers it on/off, changes the fan speed, and toggles the dynamic fan speed.
## Options
```-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p {on,off}, --power {on,off}
Power on or off the server
-f [0-100], --fan [0-100]
Set fan speed percentage
-t, --temp Adjust fan speed based on temperature
-d {on,off}, --dynamic {on,off}
Toggle dynamic fan control
```
## Requirements
- Python
- [ipmitool](https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool)
- `sudo apt install ipmitool` for Ubuntu/Debian
- `sudo dnf install ipmitool` for Fedora/RHEL & clones
- `sudo pacman -S ipmitool` for Arch
- `brew install ipmitool` for MacOS
## Usage
```$ python3 server.py -p on
$ python3 server.py -p on
$ python3 server.py -f 50
$ python3 server.py -t
```
## Notes
I'm currently testing this script on my server as a temperature monitoring solution. I have it set as a cronjob on my pihole server to run every 5 minutes.
