[Dynamix - System Temp]

Yes, IPMI version only for those who have server-grade boards equipped with it. If you want to tackle it in the future, just let me know, I can easily test your code.

I believe the user base is quite big and growing as more and more go with Supermicro boards and ESXi.

 

I'm curious whether lm-sensors work in KVM/XEN unRAID (if the VM has access to the MB chip)?

 

Anyway, thanks for your efforts!

ogi->

As stated before that only works on bare-metal X9SCM-F.

 

I just compiled freeIPMI package on separate Slackware VM and it works.

I can only hope bonienl would be interested in adding that option to his plugin.

 

That would require adding freeIPMI package and then parsing its output //see attachment//.

 

[Dynamix - System Temp]

Anyone found a way to use lm-sensors on X9SCM-F but with unRAID running under ESXi?

 

In that case modprobe w83627ehf complains 'no such device found'. Apparently such devices are not passed-through to a VM.

 

I tried with other modules, but they do not work either.

 

 

Maybe the only way is to read system temp via IPMI linux tools?

 

Edit:

I found this: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Supermicro_X9SCM-F_Motherboard

 

We would require FreeIPMI package then and modified/alternative version    of System Temp plugin for IPMI.

Thanks guys! IDE disk works!

 

Have a test server now

//You only need the one disk not two. It's volume label should be UNRAID. All files, including 'config' dir, should be on that one disk.

//As long as the volume label is UNRAID there won't be any complaints from the system.

 

Hmm,this doesn't work for me (5.0rc11).

I tried a few times, volume inside virtual disk is surely called UNRAID.

 

I use "hybrid solution" for production unRAID BTW and that works great.

 

[[SOLVED]unRAID under ESXi without USB key?]

Did I understand your advice correctly?

 

-created new unRAID VM with two virtual disks:

first 4GB labeled whatever containing all *.zip contents except for 'config' directory

2nd 1GB labeled UNRAID containing just 'config' dir

 

both disks formatted as FAT32 and first one made bootable from windows by running .bat file

 

unRAID boots from disk1, but at some point complains that UNRAID disk can't be located: "waiing for /dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID"

 

It also didn't work when I had one virtual disk called UNRAID with all the files and dirs from *.zip.

 

I got something wrong 

[[SOLVED]unRAID under ESXi without USB key?]

Is it at all possible to set up an unRAID VM without having physical USB stick (or emulate such)?

 

I'd like to set up another test VM with minimal unRAID version (which doesn't require a licence tied to USB drive).

 

I'm under the impression that unRAID expects USB to be there as its config files are stored  on USB itself.

 

Any workaround for this? At least we know bzroot and bzimage can be a part of VM.

 

Thanks.
