[phosphor-fan-presence] ask fan fail behavior

Hi All,



Is there a mechanism in phosphor-fan-presence that will set all fans' speed except failed one as a fan fails? I have read phosphor-fan-presence for a while, but I only  found set_speed_on_missing_owner, a function in control/actions.cpp. Things get worse that I don't know how to trigger it not to say to test it. Any comment is welcome.



Sincerely,

Hank Liou

Hi,


I don't think there's a way to set a new speed on all fans 'but' the 
failing one, but you can set a new speed when a fail is detected 
(detected by the fan state being set to not functional) with 
count_state_before_speed().


Here is some documentation on that: 
https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-fan-presence/blob/master/control/example/events.yaml#L127. 
And here it is in use:
