Dynamix - V6 Plugins

@spl147  ill have to try that  set to 100% i cant remember what i have  i know i think its in manual mode.. except cpu fan  i leave that on automatic..

 

ya the autofan issue i have had issue for couple years.. where i mentioned  if you add or remove a hard drive or cache drive  as i guess the sdX  keeps changing and bumps things so if it were to use UID then each drive would still have UID  and the sdX  can change as much as it wants  it would still stick to the UID  or even if you had to swap a drive   that say Disk 1  needed replacing that auto fan plugin would also update  to that new hard drive like when you do a pull drive and put a new one in and rebuild..  cuz it messes up .. and the HwmonX  keeps changing  i asked in general chat.. if there is a "Force"  so you could force  hwmon be either 0 1 or 2..  since it changes after a reboot if you change a drive either by adding it to array or to the un assigned devices..   i was hoping there was likea boot.ini  and youd say  force hwmon#=hwmon0     or force hwmon%=0    then at bootup the sensor hwmon be the same everytime no matter howd drive changes

 

but i do appreciate to the programmer that wrote it.. as it keeps it quiet..  so some ideas and issues maybe he can work on would help but always appreciate it..  saves wear and tear on the fans 🙂

Is the Fan Control working for you?

 

When I fill in the temp Thresholds and Apply, nothing will be saved. The Form is just empty.

look in the autofan config dir

 

i can see my config is OK

also after checked i see autofan is working by % in bottom panel with systemfan i think ,

but cant see the service is running also not in syslog when changing speed like was after enabled pwm fans...

also fans was setuped in bios 25-100 % pwm and when i was enabled befor reboot autofan checked it was pushed fan to 100% for checking speed i think ..

i found i have :

pwm2=CPU

pwm3=fan1

pwm4=fan2

so i have 3 config files 

autofan= pwm1 disabled ,  but also pwm2 for CPU disabled

autofan2=pwm3

autofan3=pwm4

 

maybe i need to change in autofan.cfg  for pwm2 ?

 

[comet424]

so i contacted unraid developers.. and they say the "hwmonX"  is a Kernel issue and they dont write the kernel

 

maybe the developer of the AutoFan

 

could make it 

1..  use Hard Drive Serial Numbers  not SDx   DevX      numbering

 

2..

since the HwmonX   constantly changes so makes plugin useless if you change hard drives

and seems to be Hwmon0 Hwmon1 Hwmon2  maybe a 3

for each fan..   Save  Fan 1

hwmon0

hwmon1

hwmon2      

with the exact same settings.. this way  when Hwmon0  changes to Hwmon2     it wont bugger up...  this way it be a work around instead of constantly re scanning the for the hwmon change

Hi @bonienl,

It seems like this plugin will spin up SAS drives every $INTERVAL minutes. It checks for HD temps, however the test for spun-down status is good for ATA drives and not for SAS drives.

I proposed a small code change (pull request onto your repo) to fix this. Thanks for considering it.

I'm trying to have Dynamix Sleep gracefully shutdown another machine before shutting down the host its running on.

I installed ipmitools via Nerd Pack and when I run the following command via console, it shuts down the remote machine just fine:

ipmitool -I lan -H 192.xx -U ADMIN -P password chassis power soft

 

When adding this same command in the "custom commands before sleep" box in Dynamix Sleep settings, it doesn't execute at all.

Am I doing something wrong?

Just a thought - have you tried giving the full path to the ipmitool command - not sure the environment when you run via the command line is the same as when you run the script.

Hi,

Anyone who updated to 6.10.3 get the fan control working?

Any of you still seeing the "sleep button" in 6.10.3 under "main"?

I tried "/usr/bin/ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168... -U ADMIN -P password chassis power soft" but that didn't work either I'm afraid

Is there any command before sleep, that will check if any VM is running before executing the sleep mode? (Dynamix S3 Sleep)
My server draws at IDLE around 55 Watts from the wall and i would like to reduce my powerbill. But however I tried to configure my sleep setting there seems to be only two options for me: the server is running the hole time or he will shut down at the given time (my sleep method, because I use the wakeup schedule on my bios to start the server). I would like to delay my shutdown time when i`m gaming on my VM. After VM shutdown I like to continue the sleep schedule (Wait for VM inactivity before Sleep). Using my current settings it will shutdown perfectly at schedule whether I game on my VM  or not.

I thought the "Wait for host inactivity (IP address)" setting will do the trick but it dosnt seem to recognize my VM IP adress. Are my network settings the problem and i have to set them on bond0? For my VM I forwarded the boot drive and i tried the option "Monitor disks outside array" but it dosent help either. When i use the "Wait for array inactivity" setting it doesn`t shutdown at all (independent if i exclude or include the cache.)

 

Thank you for your help, I'm new to this community and please excuse my poor English skills, I'm not a native speaker.

It worked for me. I mean when I emptied the exclude drives box it worked fine for fan control

The problem is that this plugin was waking up my sas drives (sata were fine) every five minutes when it was pulling the temp reading via smartctl. I had to remove the plugin. Now I have fans at 100% all the time, but at least my drives are sleeping.

 

and 12 drives x 20 Watts 24h x 365 days at current electricity prices... no thank you.

doron has created a PR to add sas support he has added on the sas spin down plugin page for test until the PR is merged.

Yeah, while it does spin down sas drives, the auto fan control almost immediately spins them up again, since update to 6.10
Which is kinda dumb. But auto fan invokes smartctl to check the temperature and that wakes the disks down.

 

So at the moment you can use either one or the other.

Did you see the post for the test fix for autofan? Below is the PR

LOL, i gotta say this might be the most asinine post i've ever seen!

 

you might wanna start off with motherboard make and model, is system temps and auto fan installed? maybe a few screenshots of the plugin pages, the output from sensors detect, etc.

Would it perhaps work if I create a user script:

#!/bin/bash
ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.xx -U ADMIN -P password chassis power soft
exit

 

And execute that script via the custom options value?

How would I refer to the CA user script in the custom options value?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Active Streams i a neat little plugin, but i would really like to see an option to include its data display on the dashboard, its so hidden away. Is there an easy way to do that?

 

Another thing i would love is to output the data active streams sees to a logfile with timestamps, is there any plugin for that type of logging? To see what was accessed when by who (ip / user)

I'm making use of "Custom Tab" plugin to show the Active Streams (See Picture)

However, is the Active Stream plugin working? Especially on 6.10.3?
Im getting No active streams all the times, which is not true whatsoever

Yes
