    Hi everyone,

     

    is there now an option to split the FAN1234 and FANA groups up for fan control? I would like to control each fan individually.

    My Mainboard is a Supermicro X10DRi.


    Thanks.

    Welcome to the world of stupid Supermicro IPMI controls. They group fans together and there's not a way you can change that. I haven't seen anyone come up with a code to fix that.

    Hi all! Can you tell if you have fan control on mainboard asrock x470d4u? a couple of months ago it worked for me but now it does not.

    ASRock Rack updated the BMC in a way that negates the previous fan settings. They made it more inline with what they did with the X570D4U and X570D4U-2L2T.

     

    I believe the method that @Horfic came up with for the X570D4U should now work with the X470D4U. Overall, we really need an update to this plugin to include these new commands for these ASRock Rack motherboards.

    WD 10TB Red Drive. Not shucked. I think I got it straight from WD. Just to run down every lead I will test the drive it self in another computer as I haven't done that yet. But I do not suspect that to be the issue.

    Did you figure out what the issue was?

    Hi all, 

     

    Need some help getting IPMI setup for my unraid server.  When I run the configuration it doesn't find anything, and on the config page there aren't any fans showing.  My motherboard is a ASRock B460M Steel Legend.  Any tips on how to get this configured and working properly would be much appreciated!

    I’m positive that motherboard doesn’t have IPMI.

    Thanks for these! I just wanted to say that #9 is missing wget in front of the web address. I couldn't figure out what was going wrong until I figured that out.

    Hi All,

     

    Here is the forked repo with the details of my "fix", keep in mind this is only for X570D4U and X570D4U-2L2T users, I purposely didn't include this to be backwards compatible because I didn't have those boards to do the proper testing or the time to make this backwards compatible.

     

    This is the commit in question that has my "fix", I also fixed some minor bugs with the shell commands:

    https://github.com/lucasteligioridis/IPMI-unRAID/commit/49281fd8

     

    I can't quite remember if the ipmi2json script works flawlessly or not, I may have hacked in some values on the first run, full disclosure I haven't used that one since I first put it together and used it.

     

    But the ipmifan script works wonders with these boards, haven't had a problem with it since implementation.

    You essentially want to copy the two files mentioned from here:

    https://github.com/lucasteligioridis/IPMI-unRAID/tree/master/source/ipmi/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ipmi/scripts

     

    Into the correct location on the Unraid system, which is here:

    - /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ipmi/scripts

     

    You will have to restart the ipmifan service in the Unraid UI and it all should hopefully work, at the very worse the ipmi2json script might not work perfectly as intended, but it will at least generate some of the json correctly. Let me know how it goes, happy to help further. I'm not at home at the moment and don't have SSH access to validate the above just yet.

     

    To have this fix "permanent" I just copy the ipmifan script into the above directory whenever the machine boots, because the plugins get reloaded each time Unraid restarts so the old code will be restored. Obviously any updates to the plugin will have the same effect. If I get more time I'd love to fix this into a proper patch and merge it upstream.

    Thanks for posting this! I'm really excited to use this!

     

    The problem right now is I have no idea how to get the files from github (Do I copy the scripts and make a .txt file? What are the extensions I need to make them?) and I can't find /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ipmi/scripts anywhere (is it on the flash drive?).

     

    If you don't have time to make detailed instructions, that's okay. If you end up having more time to patch this into the IPMI plugin itself, I might just wait till that happens.

    I was hoping to find out the same thing... I did stumble upon this reddit post about it working with TrueNAS.  u/d0mini stated it works well provided you use the Aquantia Driver.  I'd love to find out for sure if this works on Unraid before pulling the trigger on it.

    This thing would be awesome for some small form factor builds if the drivers could work with Unraid. It might just take someone buying it and seeing if it can work.

    Do you have multiple browser windows open to the GUI? It's been known to cause this error. 

    I guess I missed your reply...I might have had it on my phone or some other window. I’m not completely sure but I’ll definitely look for it next time it happens.

     

    Luckily, this thing was just annoying and  the poweroff command was enough safely shut everything down and ensure that it wasn’t an unclean shutdown.

  9. Currently on version 6.9.0-rc2.

     

    This is the second time this has happened to me in the last month. I shutdown my backup server and then my GUI for my main server starts giving me the 500 Internal Server Error, but I'm still able to access everything via ssh. I managed to grab syslog while in ssh, but I'm having trouble making heads or tails of why I'm seeing UPSTREAM TIMED OUT all over the place. Is it possible that the flash drive is going bad or is it some plugin that's causing issues? Any help would be awesome!

    Thank you for trying to help!

     

    I ran the dmidecode command and got the following result:

     

    So far so good, but I have never used ipmitool beforer and cannot for the life of me get a valid result:

     

    When running ipmitool and checking the sensors I get the following result:

     

    Have you tried some of the commands that @cakes044 found?

    Thanks for all the advice, any cards that only has power through the pci express, happy to get a quadro if that works?

    My rig is quite low powered at 300w.

    It really comes down to two things:

     

    Quality

     

    Do you want the best quality and efficiency for transcoding at a reasonable price? If so, you’ll want the GTX 1650 Super or above. It has the Turing encoder and decoder and it works very well. It does require a PCIE power cable though but it doesn’t use much power for transcoding. If you can handle a small step down in quality, a P400 or GTX 1050 or 1050 TI will work wonderfully. They are both 75W cards and the P400 only sips power.

     

    Number of Transcodes

     

    All Quadro cards under the P2000 and all GTX/RTX (except for the RTX 4000) cards are locked at 3 transcodes. The P2000 can handle about 20 1080p right out of the box. Going above the P2000 is really unnecessary for practically all servers unless you have a ridiculous number of people you share your server with.

    I am keen to learn how to configure this plugin. 

     

    Have installed a new AsRock Rack X570D4U w/ IPMI and connected several FANs. 

     

    When I try to configure the plugin I receive following: 

     


    Checking IPMI fan Locations...

    Location 0-1: none
    Location 0-2: none
    Location 0-3: none
    Location 0-4: none
    Location 0-5: none
    Location 0-6: none
    Location 0-7: none
    Location 0-8: none

    Saving board configuration...

     

    Any advise where I can start to trouble shoot? If helpful I can test & share certain configs to help to improve the plugin.

     

    I'm right there with you with the X570D4U-2L2T. At least we can create fan curves inside the BMC. As for the IPMI plugin, I can kind of follow what @cakes044 did but I can't even get a config file to show up.

    After clicking OK and then hitting CONFIGURE, I get this:

    With these two motherboards becoming more popular, hopefully it'll get some special attention.

    1060 Super specifically has Turing NVENC the non super 1060 doesn't. 1660s are Turing far as I am aware Atleast the one I have coming is 

    I believe you mean 1650 Super because the 1060 is an older Pascal era GPU.

  14. The Supermicro 846 is the gold standard if you can find a barebones one right now. More specifically one with a SAS2 backplane and 2 x PWS-920P-SQ. They were running about $300-$400 at the start of the year but have become very rare and expensive. I always keep a lookout on eBay or Craigslist for one. My 836 is great but I’d like the ability to add more than 16 drives.

    Might be late to the party but everything has been working fine on this board with Unraid apart from all the IPMI fan stuff which I hacked together a solution that you can see in that post.

     

    There is actually a bug on this board that you may not have noticed yet, but RX traffic on the network adapters with the specific version of the firmware/BIOS is actually degrading the network performance to 1/3 of the speed. Again, only on RX.

     

    I have already raised this issue with Asrock Rack and they have confirmed the issue with a specific AMD driver combination after many many emails and actually sending my board back.

     

    A friend of mine has the X570D4U-2L2T and doesn't have this issue, so its only for the X570D4U where the firmware has been affected.

     

    Other than that, this board is killer. I have not found another board on the market that is anything like this for this price tag.

    Happy to answer anything else.

    That’s the thing I’ve noticed with ASRock Rack over the years (just reading comments and such). They try a lot of different things with their boards (form factors, sockets, PCIE layouts, etc.), but that also leaves them spread pretty thin in terms of BIOS development and getting it right initially. Even with that said, I know that they have great customer service and I look forward to getting my X570D4U-2L2T in the mail next week. I expect my fair share of issues but I think that’s part of the fun of trying something new.

     

    Thanks for your work figuring out the fans! I hope dmacias will make an update to the IPMI plugin soon.

    I now got a Plex Pass and tried it with the linuxserver.io version and it works flawlessly.

     

    Just be sure that you got on the Setting -> Transcoder -> tick the boxes where it says 'Use hardware acceleration when available' and 'Use hardware-accelerated video encoding'

     

    If you don't have that two boxes Hardware Transcoding cannot work.

    I tried it with a 4K 2160p HEVC HDR h265 file and also a 1080p h264 file.

    Since you did a new Plex installation, do you think some of the issues could be due to an existing issue switching from the Nvidia plugin to the new Nvidia driver? Seems that those that had an issue with transcoding are ones who already had the linuxserver.io Plex Docker installed and then switched to the 6.9 beta and new driver.

    Yes absolutely, so grommets on drives and carefull transportation needed

    If your data is sensitive and valuable, I wouldn't transport 3.5" spinning hard drives like that. If you want some flexibility and ruggedness, it would be worth your while to use SSD's and have spinning drives for backups at an offsite, stationary location. It'll significantly lower the weight of your system as well as require far less room.

    I have installed the IPMI plugin and everything is displayed correctly; fan control is something I am still unable to rectify. It states fan is not configured.

    Apparently, the X570D4U and X570D4U-2L2T work a little different than their predecessors. It looks like @cakes044 has gotten the fan controls to work with impitool. Hopefully, @dmacias will provide an update to the IPMI plugin here in the near future.

    Thank for the heads up

     

    I forgot to mention I might be using Ryzen 7 5800X or 5600X, so maybe this will be better ?

    Stock speeds at 3200mhz shouldn’t be much different than running with higher speeds and you won’t need to overclock which adds more instability.

     

    I too want this motherboard but it’s impossible to find right now. Provantage even took down their listing for it and when I called them, they said it could be 1-2 months before it is in stock.

    Hi,

     

    I am having an issue getting Nvidia enc / dec working with the latest Beta.

    I am running 6.9.0 beta-35 and the linuxserver.io plex docker. Nvidia driver package is loaded and showing version 455.38 (card is a Quadro P400)

     

    When turning on hardware transcode it bombs with :

     

    An unknown error occurred (4294967283)
    Error code: 4294967283

     

    If you click retry sometimes it encodes 5 seconds or so of video and then drops right out!

    Doing a "watch nvidia-smi" shows plex firing up the process then it going away!

     

    I have also tried firing up a Jellyfin Docker and hw Transcode is working fine in that!

     

    Any ideas are appreciated!

     

    Did you make sure to reboot you server after installing Nvidia drivers?
