I'm gonna answer this myself....there IS a way to get exhaust fan temperatures but it ain't easy.  I found this relatively old YouTube video from an IBM'er but it doesn't deal with IBM i directly, it just addresses the Power processor and uses webm cli to access the values in (thru) the FSP.   I ran the webmcli command from a Linux instance that just happens to be a LPAR on my Power 9.  Works like a charm but takes a little work to get set up and tested.

Gonna add a Nagios script to check on it every 30 minutes or so and notify me if the temps get to 90 degrees or above (== A/C dead)

You'll find the YouTube video (from 2015) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsKE1Vg7PPg

I remember how to do this on my old Blade Center, just look at the fan exhaust temp...is there something similar for a Power 9, V7R5M0 with an HMC?  We have an A/C unit acting up and I'd like to check it from time to time....
