Example for setting fan threshold with IPMI

ipmi-thresholds.md

set password

export IPMI_PASSWORD=xxxxx

USAGE info:

   id        : name of the sensor for which threshold is to be set
   threshold : which threshold to set
                 unr = upper non-recoverable
                 ucr = upper critical
                 unc = upper non-critical
                 lnc = lower non-critical
                 lcr = lower critical
                 lnr = lower non-recoverable
   setting   : the value to set the threshold to

sensor thresh <id> lower <lnr> <lcr> <lnc>
   Set all lower thresholds at the same time

sensor thresh <id> upper <unc> <ucr> <unr>
   Set all upper thresholds at the same time

LOWER

NOTE: for some reason Lower Non-Critical cannot be set (is ignored)
