    [Plugin] IPMI for unRAID 6.1+

    in Plugin Support

    Posted

    I don't have any fans showing in settings, that's the problem, see below.
    All i have, even with advanced view switched on is an entry for hard drives.
    Everything else, sensor wise seems to be populated and i'm monitoring my ipmi ip address ok so i'm guessing that this plugin for some reason just doesn't support X8 motherboards which is a shame.
     
    If someone can actually confirm that fact cos i don't really know whether that's the case or not, then i'll move on to some sort of off board fan controller which i didnt really want to have to do considering this is a server grade board.

    The X8 is not supported. The fans aren't controllable with IPMI commands. They may be able to be controlled through the Autofan plugin using the Windbond chip.

    [mention=11874]dmacias[/mention] any thoughts on the above given ffmpeg can be installed with a static build? This removes any issue with all the dependencies and extra libraries. Just need to download, extract and either copy to /usr/bin for example.
     
     
    Just not a fan of giant static builds. It's probably bigger than python with all the depends included. Especially since it wasn't built for slackware specifically either. Just feel this belongs in a docker or plugin with the correct slackware dependency packages.

    Absolutely love this plugin. Any plans on adding something like telegraf to it? Would be an amazing addition, and highly useful to a large portion of the community.

    There is a official docker for telegraf.

    There are slackbuilds but no one has it built. Not sure what depends it would require either or the database portion. The official docker page explains how to monitor the host system by mounting /proc.

    New unraid user here and many thanks for the plugin. I am running on a ASRock rack c236. So, I pull the container from the CA. But there is nothing in the global/dashboard sensors or footer settings. Neither in the readings. When I go fan control/configure I get a "Checking IPMI fan Locations..." echo and after a while all "locations" are tagged as "none".
     
    I guess I miss something big here. Can you please advice?
    Do you have PWM fans?

    I'm willing to pay someone to fix my high cpu fan issue.  PM me if interested
    Sorry I'm not familiar with the Intel implementation of IPMI. It could be you don't have PWM fans. It may be the fans aren't even controlled by IPMI. They may be controlled by the bios. If that's the case there's another plugin for that

      Humn, I did have preclear disk installed but I don't use it, so I just removed it.  It's now not listing it in the nerdpack package list, but it's still showing as update available and checking for updates does nothing.

     

    This plugin wasn't set up to differentiate between different build numbers for the same package version. That's the last number at the end of the package name. E.g. The 2 in utempter-1.1.6-x86_64-2.txz. Preclear uses an older build. 

     

    Run this if on 6.7 otherwise change to your unraid version

    upgradepkg /boot/config/plugins/NerdPack/packages/6.7/utempter-1.1.6-x86_64-2.txz

    I recently upgraded to Unraid 6.7.2, and now it seems irssi is looking for the wrong version of libssl?
     
    irssi: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

     
    I tried checking for updates and reinstalling in nerd tools, no difference. It looks like /usr/lib64 on the server has libssl.so.1.1 and libssl.so

    I updated irssi. Try now.

    Does anyone know if DevPack is supported on 6.7.0+ ? 
    I'm looking to get make installed but was hesitant to install DevPack given that it hasn't been updated in a while and the report above of issues.
     
    Thanks!
    First this plugin is not meant for running on a main server all the time. It was meant for compiling packages. I use it on a virtual machine of unraid to compile packages for NerdPack. The plugin itself should not need updating frequently. I update the packages themselves on github and that's reflected in the plugin. It's not DevPack plugin itself that's the problem, it's whatever packages they might have had installed. And since they didn't say what packages they had selected or what version of unraid they were coming from, I have no idea. I should make it not install any package if unraid is updated . But you really should unselect all packages before upgrading unraid. The core included unraid packages that are present in DevPack are all stripped of their install scripts and binaries and included only headers.

    I just updated all the included unraid packages to reflect 6.7.2. I haven't looked at updating any of the compiler packages. I just used it with everything installed to compile borgbackup. So it worked for me on 6.7.2.

    Would it be possible to give it a try to fix the previous problem with borg? qouting myself earlier in the thread to give a few details. I'm not sure where to start, but perhaps updating msgpack, setuptools and Python3 might help?

     

    I think this was fixed if you removed msgpack and reinstalled it. But anyway I updated borg to 1.1.10 and remove the msgpack package since "borgbackup 1.1.10 bug fix release (now bundling msgpack)" You may want to remove msgpack first then update but it shouldn't matter.

    Would love to be able to create a custom/informative motd, any objections to including update-motd?
     
    If possible figlet and lolcat too but they're really only for a bit of 'fun' for a header if I'm pushing my luck.

    I'm not sure that's available for slackware. At least I wasn't able to find anything. I can still add figlet and lolcat if you want.

    Legend!
     
    There does seem to be an issue similar to [mention=92886]mrroadrunner[/mention] above about missing shared libraries.
     

    unison: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


    [/code]



    I removed it for now until a non gtk packaged is found if even possible. That would require a desktop and a ton more packages.

    All right well I changed my non-PWM S12b for a F12 (can't go wrong staying with Noctua) and it works (and it's also a huge improvement, I have an ITX case with restricted airflow).
     
    Question 1) I was wondering, is there any disadvantage of having a lower temperature polling time value? 3 minutes seems kinda slow, if my CPU is idle and suddenly has a big encoding workload I definitely don't want it to wait 3 minutes until the fans adjust. I was thinking of 30 seconds. 
    Question 2) If I manually set up speeds according to CPU temperatures, does it completely ignore HDD temperatures?
    Question 3) Any performance disadvantage of using the plugin instead of whatever the BIOS/BMC would do by itself? As in, is there a dedicated chip on the motherboard that would usually do that instead of using CPU resources (assuming your plugin does in fact use the CPU to poll the temperatures).
     


    1) 30s or 1 min is probably fine but constant polling of bmc and hard drives can affect performance adversely.

    2) Yes. It will only take in to account the temp sensor you set to monitor. If you just wanted to control CPU fans based CPU temps, you'd be better off letting the BIOS smartfan/BMC control the fans. Unless you wanted to have more control than smartfan allows. Like min/max fan speeds.

    3) The fan control script shouldn't really present and performance issues. It doesn't use much CPU and only 150-200 MB of memory of I remember correctly.

    The original intent of the fan control was to allow controlling a fan based on hard drive temps. Using the BIOS smartfan temp control only took into account CPU or system temps. So for me, during a parity check or rebuild the CPU temps wouldn't go high enough to make the fans spin fast enough to cool the hard drives.
