Hi guys, did anyone try to connect any fan to the IPMI card itself? I just tried but this fan does not even start.. I also tried to connect a temperature sensor but the fan just doesn't even turn on... any idea?

Interesting topic and thanks for the contribution FYI, reaching C6 is usually the best compromise --> check this page out where this guy confirms that C6 to C8 difference is 1W only https://mattgadient.com/7-watts-idle-on-intel-12th-13th-gen-the-foundation-for-building-a-low-power-server-nas/ One question though for your second session of tests. (just to be the devil's advocate here) Did you remove the C-state limit of maximum C3 from the BIOS, right? There are some strange things here: As far as I know only HBA 9500 and 9600 support ASPM and 9400 can (with some issues though) Therefore with you HBA you should AT BEST reach C3 (disregarding if the slot is connected to PCH or CPU) So either powertop is bugged (presenting lower C-states than the device in reality is) OR motherboard is presenting some wrong values to powertop Following your tests though, it seems to me that, this "rush" (and time spent) to find the components with ASPM support to reach lower C-States does not really apply to every platform (I mean combination of CPU and Chipset)

@tdatta Can I ask you what you disabled to get the ASPEED 1150 get L1? I see it as disabled when using lspci command

macvlan, but I tried also with ipvlan and I have the same issue

@JorgeB I encounter this issue many times a day. I am setting up the internal services and external for my home and I am using a dual traefik configuration as proxy. The traefik I want to use for internal services has its own IP (coming from a VLAN) while the traefik used for external services is exposed on a bridge type of network. I started using docker-compose mostly because I can spin up things quickly but it happens (semi-randomly throughout the day that the Unraid UI becomes unreachable, and it happened also before with single docker container). The solution at the moment is to shut down the server, reboot, delete the docker.img and re-download everything. Can it maybe be something related to ipvlan or macvlan inside docker settings? As information, I have a dual NIC setup, where ETH0 is "reserved" for Unraid while ETH1 uses another VLAN and also binds another 2 VLANs

Can someone help me with this? I followed the thread above but with no success (in details this message here:) I did not understand where I should put the bind-interfaces parameter

Hi guys, do you think it is possible to connect the exisiting SlimSAS to a SAS expander card? I need to attach more devices but I would like to spare some watts of an HBA card, since most of the HDDs won't run at the same time (so bandwidth won't be an issue). Do you think it is possible?

My bad, I did not thought about deleting the dockerDisk... now it works perfectly, thank you for the support

Hi everyone, I don't understand why this happens but as soon as I activate the docker service inside Unraid ther WebGUI become unavaiable and my Unraid server becomes unreachable (even through SSH). When I restart the server through the IPMI card and I set the array to be started manually (hence docker service is turned off) then the server is reachable, until I start the array and docker service with it.

Oh nice, so at least the server with the 9600 is reaching a good result I would say (best would be C8 to C10) but with some many disks and so many variables that can influence this... it means you have a good result. Regarding the 9500, as you said, your server is quite busy so it is difficult to say if the lower C-states are not reached because of the high demand or because any component of the server could influence this result. I am kinda undecided whether to buy the 9500 or the 9600... both cost a good amount of money and calculating if those boards are more convenient in the long run because they could eventually lead the whole server to lower C-states is a hard problem to think about... My server doesn't go lower than C3 and it consumes 60W-70W at idle while similar builds consume 40ish watts with C8.

Could you please check with powertop if your cpu drops to lower c-states? I mean if the pckg state goes below C2 or C3

Thanks for your suggestion.... first I have to look into ubiquiti if it is even possible to set a different DNS Server for each VLAN

I don't like to open ports in router... I am just scared that if a bad actor tries to enter I wouldn't even notice... 1 pihole for each vlan, sounds a little complicated to set up but I know that there is teleport function/app. It is used to sync the settings between each pihole without doing it manually each time. What do you think? It means though that I have to add missing VLANs to eth1 page, right?

YES!!! Unraid is reachable from local address and HomeAssistant is running inside IoT VLAN and VMs are running in InternalServices VLAN so everything is working as expected. I wanted to route local services from IPs to domain names... do you have any suggestion? I mean let's say I have homeAssistant with IP 192.168.10.100 then I want to reach it at home.myhomelab.home Do you have any suggestion how to achieve something like this? I tried with Pihole but I can't see any device using pihole as local DNS server, I suspect that firewall rules that blocks VLAN to communicate with other VLANs is the problem... but even if I disable it, no devices is using pihole as DNS server

@Vr2Io Many many thanks for the help
