January 20, 20242 yr Long story short my old motherboard died so I bought a new MB, CPU, RAM, Powersupply (kept Norco 4224) and it all works AOK with the exception of WOL for rmy MSI PRO B550M-VC WiFi ProSeries Motherboard - power is expensive, and reducing my environmental footprint where I can) I have watched SpaceInvader Ones's Wake up your Unraid a complete Sleep wake guide. I have S3 Dynamix plugin. Machine does go to sleep - just doesn't wake using magic packet. Enabled diagnostic logging and it does trigger based upon the criteria I provided - i just disabled it right now so it doesn't sleep at the moment as it's in a remote location) I have disabled the ErP in the Bios I have enabled PCI-E wakeup I have added ethtool -s eth0 wol g (added intiially to the go script then changed to user script plugin) confirmed it is set using ethtool eth0 following reboot eth0 is my only NIC Also enabled wake by keyboard in BIOS - and that wake it's up nicely I have attempted to WOL it using the same process as the old motherboard (just changing the MAC address), also sing WakeOnLan tool in Linux - with no power on. It *seems* to be using a realtek network card (from the driver diagnostic dump) R8169 Does anyone know if this is something just isn't possible with the current unraid and network driver stack with this motherboard and NIC? Or perhaps I'm just missing something? I've attached my server diagnostics thanks for your time belorion 🙂 Edited January 28, 20242 yr by belorion privacy don't need to over share
January 28, 20242 yr Author answering my own question. no ... i didn't get WOL working i *cheated* ... i bought a switchbot ... configured the machine to wake up on any keyboard press ... and i configured the switchbot to hit the ANY key Now I can wake it with a remote app on my phone ... or hitting an API ... which is good enough. The simpsons were right again
January 29, 20242 yr When machine in sleep ( S3 S4 S5 ) does ethernet still link up ? If not, WOL won't work, no matter what you do. Edited January 29, 20242 yr by Vr2Io
February 4, 20242 yr Author I did confirm that the ethernet port had a yellow light once it was "sleeping". I also confirmed with ethtool the correct state before after initiating sleep. all made no difference ...which is why i went with the "any key" solution thanks for the info @Vr2Io
