Fan Status (VMware) service
The Fan Status (VMware) service monitors the status and speed (RPM) of the fans on ESXi servers. N-able N-central uses the Common Information Model (CIM) services and ports for monitoring.
If your ESX/ESXi server is operating on either Dell or HP hardware, it is strongly recommended that you install the Dell or HP Offline Bundle before the Windows probe discovers the ESX/ESXi server.
