hpicfFanUserPrefAirflowDir

Module: FAN-MIB

OID (symbolic): FAN-MIB::hpicfFanUserPrefAirflowDir

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.54.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The user preferred fan airflow direction. The direction could be powerToPort or portToPower. The actual fan direction has to be changed manually, this will be used to indicate to the user when when the actual fan airflow direction is different from the user preferred airflow direction.

What is hpicfFanUserPrefAirflowDir?

This scalar records the administrator's preferred fan airflow direction for the switch, either portToPower(1) or powerToPort(2), as described in the MIB. Because the actual fan direction has to be changed manually (e.g. by physically swapping a fan module), the switch compares this preference against the real airflow direction and can flag a mismatch to the user. For example, an admin managing front-to-back airflow in a hot-aisle/cold-aisle layout would set this to portToPower(1) and get an indication if an installed fan module doesn't match.
