Hello all,

new unraid user here. trying to get things working. having several issues that I'm hoping someone can assist with. I have Dynamix gui installed and working fine, also installed the Dynamix Plugin Control using the instructions here:

 

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31046.0

 

the dynamix link on the navbar disappears after each reboot and I have to install the plugin again, odd but I can deal with it.

 

Now, I'm wanting to put the server to sleep when not in use. When I had a windows server I scheduled it to sleep in the evening, and wake on a scheduled task in the morning and am hoping to do something similar. I installed the Dynamix S3 sleep plugin, fiddled with the plugin settings but the server never sleeps. Haven't been able to find any documentation on it either, does anybody know how to use it properly?

 

Also followed the guide for sleep here:

 

http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Setup_Sleep_(S3)_and_Wake_on_Lan_(WOL)

 

acpi settings etc are set and I can sleep and wake the server manually using the sleep button under "array operation"

But, cannot sleep from telnet. When using "echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep" I get a "directory doesn't exist" error.

 

Have been going round and round on these forums and the documentation and can't seem to get anywhere. hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks!

On 5.0 and above the command to invoke the s3sleep has changed. Please use

echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

instead.

If you don't need the other features of the dynamix plugin you can also go with this

standalone version of a S3/powerdown script.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get something going with that info.

Hey crazyman143… Did you figure anything out? I am very new to this. Managed to get dynamix up and running. I can make the unraid server sleep with the sleep button. I can wake it just fine too. But I would like to have it automatically power down if I am not using the server. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

 

I don't use dynamix but I suppose you will have to edit the sleep-script and

configure it to your needs in order to automatically sleep.

Is there a link to your problem in this thread?

I don't think so. I just want the sever to go to sleep on its own, but it doesn't seem to want to. I'd prefer to keep it simple and just use dynamix.

 

I figured it out. I had a disc that I hadn't assigned to the array. I unplugged it and the sleep scheduler appears to be working now.

I noticed that there was a box about including unassigned disks before I disconnected it. I thought I had it set so it would sleep anyway, but perhaps I had the wrong setting. I may mess with it later, but I it works for now and I don't need any discs outside of the array.
