You do not have a DNS server defined.  You must have one or more defined for unRAID to figure out where the external sites are.

try setting the DNS server to 192.168.0.1

Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically:   No

DNS Server 1:  192.168.0.1

DNS Server 2:  

DNS Server 3:

 

 

Doesnt change a thing

 

Can you answer this too?

 

going into sleep seems to work but i didnt change a thing

i typed in echo 3 >/proc/Acpi/sleep

and now power is off , and only one small light in front of the case is flashing on/off

using the dsf file the guy from mpc made, my server turns back on.. so i guess it works that way

although i made a batch containing:

 

cd c:\program files\wolcmd

wolcmd [MAC] 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255

 

and having the wolcmd.exe in c:\program files\wolcmd\

 

but it doesnt seem to work to wake it that way

 

I have no idea how wolcmd works but from looking at what you typed in )wolcmd [MAC] 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255) I am guessing that is wrong.

 

You probably need to provide the IP address of the server and the subnet mask along with the MAC address of the adapter.

 

I have no idea what those are, so you will have to figure that out for yourself.

i do know the mac, ip adress and netmask

 

so [mac] then 4 digits for ipadress then 4 digits for netmask? or netmask first?

 

you know how i should solve the dns problem?

Set "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" to yes. Or you can try the google servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 

i cant change that, its light grey

What is light grey? Which version of unRAID?

 

EDIT: First set "Obtain IP Address Automatically:" to yes.

 

EDIT: IF you need a static IP set it up in your router. Managing address allocation centrally in the router is the best practice. You will have fewer problems.

Or you can try the google servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4  

 

That did the trick.

It's working now, i just installed shh! thx !

 

The only thing i need now is the wolcmd problem

I need a way to put my server to sleep and a way to wake it up all from my desktop running vista

The command line tool wolcmd is run from a dos prompt. The syntax is as follows:

 

wolcmd [mac address] [ip address] [subnet mask] [port number]

 

you can also do a local broadcast if you are running on an internal network thus

 

wolcmd [macaddress] 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255

 

where mac address is the unique address of the network card. To find the mac address of a card you can either open the computer and read the address on the sticker on the card or much easier is, if you are using TCP/IP, ping the machine from a dos prompt (ping [machine name or ip number] i.e. ping delphi or ping 10.43.43.43) then issue an arp command (arp -a) which will list the ip number and physical address of the card.

 

If the port number is not specified it will default to port 7

 

Running from a batch file

 

Simply add multiple entries thus:

 

wolcmd 009027a324fe 195.188.159.20 255.255.255.0 8900

wolcmd 009024a731da 212.86.64.31 255.255.255.0 8900

 

 

 

i did the ping thing and arp -a and i got this

 

 

so i entered

cd c:\Program Files\Wolcmd\

wolcmd 20:CF:30:F1:45:EB 192.168.0.117.239.255.255.250

 

is this correct?

You netmask is 255.255.255.0 on the server. It should be the same on all machines. (Another benefit of centralized address management in the router)

and the port?

No need for a port number.

so

wolcmd [mac] 192.168.0.117.255.255.255.0 should do the trick?

Also when looking up the macadress in unraid it has some ":" between two numbers, and capital letters

is it capital sensitive or not?

and the ":" should i drop it in the wolcmd or not?

 

 

and i still need to find a way to put it to sleep

another question i have is, if i use the clean powerdown script.. and i press the button on the case.. it shuts down completely (and safe)

can i make it go to sleep? by pressing hard button

 

or is the clean powerdown script also a sleep script?

 

the guy from mpc just emailed me to this: (so i can get the dsf file to work)

 

First I need you to get this (= make it sleep) working from a PC. It's much easier to debug and see what's going wrong. Once it's working from your PC then I can automate it into a DSF for the Dune.

Download Plink from here:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

And then run it from the command-line in Windows. It should look something like this:

plink 192.168.0.117 -P 22 -ssh -l <username> -pw <password> -v /sbin/powerdown

Ask the unraid forum for help if needed. Once you get that working from your PC then send me the exact command line you used.

 

also where do i find the username and pasword

Nobody into the sleep - powerdown stuff either?

Nobody into the sleep - powerdown stuff either?

Not many.  My server has other stuff running on it that requires the machine to be on all the time.

 

You are going to have to do your own google searching to help answer the questions.  A guess, check, and revise approach is probably going to be what is needed until you find the combination that works.

oh

i thought many used a script to let the server sleep

 

oh

i thought many used a script to let the server sleep

 

 

Many... probably not. There is a long thread discussing how to do it.  But the number of people that use it is far smaller then than you probably think, and smaller still in comparison to the number of people that have an unRAID system.  The ones that want such a thing are the ones that commented in that thread and helped in the creation of that script.

so

wolcmd [mac] 192.168.0.117.255.255.255.0 should do the trick?

 

 

Your syntax is wrong; Notice the SPACE between IP Address and Netmask, and not a DOT.

 

wolcmd [mac] 192.168.0.117 255.255.255.0

i hope joe L can help me then

 

It cant be that hard for pro's like you i think , to get something so i can execute a batch from windows vista to get my server to sleep? since the echo ..... command to put it to sleep works...

If the "Go to S3 Sleep" button in unMENU works, you can just use the URL

http://your_server_name:8080/user_scripts?command=Go+to+S3+Sleep

(changing "your_server_name" to either the actual server name or the IP address)

 

 

This isnt in conflict with the clean powerdown script?

Is that "go to s3 sleep" button already installed into unmenu, or do i have to install it?

Is it safe for the harddisks/data/parity drive, to use the sleep command a lot?

 

Do i still need to install the sleep script?

no need for any other script.  no conflict with powerdown.  button is already on the user-scripts page, therefore the URL will be valid.  Only possible issue is if you leave unMENU up on your browser on the main page and it happens to be refreshing itself at the exact same time you try to sleep.  No harm, it just won't go to sleep since the button will not be pressed.

 

Joe L.

Ok

And it is safe for the harddisks/data/parity drive/ even fire?, to use the sleep command a lot?

Also why do people still install the script then? To do it automatically? That's the only difference?

Can i wake from a clean powerdown too?

 

Then the last part; to make the dsf file

the guy posted me :

 

Download Plink from here:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

And then run it from the command-line in Windows. It should look something like this:

plink 192.168.0.117 -P 22 -ssh -l <username> -pw <password> -v /sbin/powerdown

Ask the unraid forum for help if needed. Once you get that working from your PC then send me the exact command line you used

 

Can you help to get the above command line right but then with the sleep mode instead of the powerdown (or if im able to wake up from powerdown script, then its ok to use this too)

Ok

And it is safe for the harddisks/data/parity drive/ even fire?, to use the sleep command a lot?

It should not be a huge problem.

 

Also why do people still install the script then? To do it automatically? That's the only difference?

Yes, for the most part

 

Can i wake from a clean powerdown too?

Depends on the kind of powerdown, but I would guess no.  The only way you are going to know is to try it.  I know my little HTPC machine turns on via the power button on my TV remote from a powered down state.
