October 24, 20241 yr Good evening everyone, I got a dell r730xd and installed UnRaid with no problems, however, the fans are always at 90% and blasting. I have tried everything and nothing is working. Here is what I have done so far: configured iDRAC enabled IPMITOOL over LAN tried to connect to the server via ipmitool but I have gotten this error: Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session I have tried installing ipmitool via the nerdpack but getting error: no dell server found I have tried other iDRAC packages from the unraid store. Conclusion I think I need to install the iDRAC server module iSM for IPMITOOL to work properly. I believe the reason I cannot connect via IPMITool is because the server module is not installed on the host os which is UnRaid. However, I have no success installing the module directly on Unraid because there is no to little support for Slackware from Dell. None of the packages would install on Unraid. The next thing I will try is to maybe do a dual boot. Install an OS that supports iDRAC iSM and then install unraid.. If anyone has a working solution PLEASE share. I have been pulling my hair out!
November 7, 20241 yr Author So I couldn't find a solution to quiet the fan using bare metal UnRaid because I couldn't install ipmitool on the host os which a version of slackware. I decided to install proxmox bare metal and run UnRaid as a VM and works great!
December 10, 20241 yr Few questions 🙂 Which firmware do you have on your raidcontroller? What version of unraid are you using? What BIOS and idrac versions do you have?
