We don't use OMSA here but do use ipmitool extensively. This may get you what you need.
Load the following kernel modules first: ipmi_si, ipmi_devintf, ipmi_msghandler Give it a few seconds and then run: ipmitool sdr type Fan It can also be run remotely against an iDRAC (or BMC). We have had thermal issues before and it was almost always the result of thumbscrews that weren't in all the way. There definitely could be a different issue though.
