Found two articles but they dont state which MBs are supported so maybe try options to see what may work,

 

command would be ipmi-raw rather than ipmitool raw

Hi Simon,

 

Thank you for researching this. The W680D4U (AST2600 BMC) doesn't respond to any of the commands in the manual you provided. I contacted AsRockRack Support. Here is the information they provided:

 

---

 

//get fan current PWM all

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0xd0 0x0d 

 

//get fan current PWM single

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0xd0 0x0d  0x01

 

//set fan mode

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0xd0 0x11 0x0 0x2 0x2 0x2 0x0 0x2 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

 

//set fan duty 

Note: Unused(non-manual) fans need to be set to 0xff

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0xd0 0x0e 0xff 0x4b 0x4b 0x4b 0xff 0x4b 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff

 

For fan mode (speed), usually the 0x0 is for Auto, 0x32 is half way of your fan’s maximum speed, then 0x64 is fan’s full speed. 

For fan duty, 0% = 0x00 and 100% = 0xff.

 

---

I hope this in information is helpful to you. Please let me know how I can be of further assistance.

  • I have released 2023.12.02, If you have tested the Dev release you may need to update the Fans section as I have changed name to FAN123456 for All for Dell systems   - Add FAN Control suppor

  • Yes on my to-do list now 7.2 is out. But am also working on next.

    I have been using IPMI tools for quite some time and for some reason it stopped working but wont allow me to enter new username or password. How do I go about this?

I have a Dell T420 running the latest version of UNRAID and this plugin, I have two CPUs in IDRAC I can see what temp belongs to what CPU but this plugin shows just the label Temp for both. is there a way to put a label like CPU 1 / CPU 2.

 

as far as I can tell this part of the sensor config is responsible

Section 115_Temp
	## Possible values: Yes/No
	Enable_All_Event_Messages                                                   Yes

	Enable_Scanning_On_This_Sensor                                              Yes
	## Give valid input for sensor type = Temperature; units = degrees C; 'None' to not use hysteresis
	## Positive_Going_Threshold_Hysteresis                                      -127.000000
	## Give valid input for sensor type = Temperature; units = degrees C; 'None' to not use hysteresis
	## Negative_Going_Threshold_Hysteresis                                      -127.000000

Tower-Dashboard-10-21-2024_12_56_AM.png

Good morning all.  

 

Over the past couple months I've noticed the IPMI plugin has been crashing to the point where I can't get the the IPMI page and the readings on the dashboard disappear.  Seems the only way to restore access is to reboot the server.

 

My setup has not changed for the past 3 years, when I upgraded the size of my array disks.

 

Has anyone had this issue?  Can the plugin be restarted via the command line?  Is there any updated plugin to be installed.  Currently on 2023.12.12

 

Thanks in advance.

@debit lagos I am running the same version (2023.12.12) on UNRAID 7.0.0-beta.3 on a DELL T420 with no crashes.

You should also probably provide the computer/motherboard you have as this plugin gets the info from IPMI.

I would also run the plugin "Fix Common Problems" to see if you have any other problem that might be causing this.

 

I have a supermicro X11SSL-CF, this plugin was working fine for a long time but suddenly my fans are full speed whole time.

I read all posts here, full remove plugin, new install, did the line 53 change for case 13 in confg file, set virtual machine (i don´t have it)... tried everything, run out of ideas, need help, please.

I didn´t find any good log where i could take a look for new clues, any ideas?  thanks

 

Update just now: i found this in the fan control log: 

2024-10-30 15:07:00 Fan:Temp, FAN1234(19%):CPU Temp(31C), FANA(15%):HDD Temp(28C)

it says 19% and 15%, i asume speed, but they are running full speed FAN1234 to 2400 RPM and FANA 4800 RPM.

Could be this related?

I'm wondering if I'm experiencing a similar issue. I'm running a EP2C602-4LD16 and I've noticed that just about every 1-2 days the IPMI plugin crashes? I don't see anything in the logs.  I moved from just having the plugin work directly with the BMC to adding the network information for access to the BMC.  At least this way (compared to the past of having to reboot the server) I can just OFF/ON the fan controls and everything is back to normal.

 

It's been a good long while since I've never had to fiddle with the IPMI plugin in, but not I'm having to get in there almost daily to reset the fan controls.  @SimonF brother, any ideas and/or thoughts?  Could it be related to a need to update the FreeIPMI dependencies (spit ballin')?

Will look at packages, What is crashing fanctl?

I too am experiencing this @SimonF having the same motherboard as @debit lagos. This started in the past week for me, and i have had to remove the plugin.

 

For no explained reason, I would come home to find all the fans had ramped up and the IPMI plugin none responsive with the temp details in the bottom bar missing.

What os version are you running, any thing in the fan logs or PHP logs, later can be found in tools PHP settings

@SimonF Im running 6.12.13. I haven't touched the server for weeks, but all of a sudden, this problem has reared its head in the past week.

 

I've uninstalled the plugin for now, so I haven't any logs currently, but I can reinstall it and see if it continues with crashing and if anything appears in the logs.

I'll also add that from the obvious logs, I don't see anything associated with the IPMI plugin. Happened twice today. No rhythm or reason, fans go full speed and I have to go into the plugin settings and turn fan control off then back on.

Is there nothing in the fan logs?  /var/log/ipmifan

Next time it happens I'll pull the log and do a PrivateBin snippet of it. Each time I check there is nothing about the plugin crashing. 

Hello, 
I have a Supermicro X9SCA-F and only recently started playing with Unraid 6.12.14.

I installed IPMI Tools 2023.12.12.  IPMI is configured. I can reach the BMC from the subnet and the settings page says "Connection successful". 

 

But in each reboot. sensor readings suddenly disappear (showing na or N/A). It's as if something is blocking the readout and i don't know what it is. When the computer is shut down, the BMC shows all sensor green. The BMC firmware is the latest i found (3.38).

image.thumb.png.ceade1c4f6a53e15fd608b392cabfbe1.png

 

I have installed other plugins like Dynamix System Temp and Dynamix Systems Stats (uninstalling does not really help). Stopping the Netdata docker container also does not change the behavior.

 

Is the observation known behavior? What can i do? (My ultimate goal is to have sensor readings and then do fan control where i do understand that with my Noctua fans, i will have to play a bit).

 

These are the currently installed apps:

Dynamix S3 Sleep

It happened again this morning.  Here is the /var/log/ipmifan log screenshot.  As you can see, there's not there indicating a error or fault. Also, there is nothing in the syslog.  Willing to troubleshoot anything additional. As was mentioned above, things have been fine for a very long time, but something recent has started to cause this situation. Standing by for guidance/feedback.  Thanks in advance.

Log looks fine was 1227 you stopping and restart fanctl?

Yes, that was me having to restart the ipmi fan control to get the fans to turn back down again.

I've reinstalled IPMI again, and its been running for 3 days so far with no issues. Will send a log if anything happens

@SimonF can we get a update on this please?

 

start there till the end

Sorry not had the time to look at it. Happy to take PRs

So I had the fans go full tilt again.  It's been 3 days since the last event.  Below are pictures of the log (have not stop/started the fan controls yet), and the fan speed readings.  If there is something else you want me to check, let me know.

yes and the override thresholds follow the spun down sensor

This maybe a trivial question but, is there a way to add additional footer options? I would like to add all fan speeds in addition to what I already have, I am running 7RC1.

No these are the only ones that can be added with the current version.
