wgstarks Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) A couple of days ago I decided to update BMC firmware after updating bios. Long story short, it didn't go well but was finally able to restore the BMC firmware version that I started with. Now I notice that only HDD temps are working in the IPMI plugin, and only connecting locally when previously I was using a network connection. IPMI settings are all grayed out and I can't figure out how to make changes to them? EDIT: SuperMicro X10SLL-F motherboard. Edited December 7, 2018 by wgstarks Quote Link to comment

It seems that connecting via IP is no longer working but enabling localhost brought back all the sensor readings. Not sure what happened to the IP connection? 31 minutes ago, dmacias said: What was the problem with the newer BMC? I think I was worried too much about the bios update and didn't realize that the BMC update was actually a downgrade. I have been running a Redfish version (beta I think) supplied by SM tech support a year or so ago (Redfish_X10_352) and the firmware listed on the website for my X10 is Redfish_X10_327. I should have spotted the problem, but didn't until after the install. Once the flash was complete I no longer had access to the IPMI webUI, which removed my ability to easily flash back to 352. After a little digging I found the AlUpdate package for Linux which works great from command line on unRAID. The IPMICFG package could probably flash the firmware as well. Quote Link to comment
Tybio Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hey there, just upgraded to the X11SCA in my sig and I only see fan control for FAN1234, this board seems to have 5 fans and they show up in the list as FAN1-FAN5 with 1 and 2 being CPU fans and the other 3 case fans. I'd really like to have the MB control all the headers (CPU Side) and have this plugin control one header (I have 6 fans on the drive side of the chassis via a PWM hub). Is that possible? Any way to map one of the fan headers to the FANA structure I've read about (But don't see in my settings)? Quote Link to comment
Tybio Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 After reading a great deal of the thread...but not all I admit. I'm not sure that th X11SCA follows the normal Supermicro setup It looks like IPMI exposes FAN1-5, but they break down like this: FAN1&2: CPU FAN3-5: System I wouldn't mind doing all fan control via IPMI tool, but with my case (D600) having two sides...one for the system and one for drives, I have to be able to setup two fan profiles. Is there any way to do that with this plugin? Quote Link to comment
planetix Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Less an issue with the plugin and more an issue with the Supermicro BMC only supporting two zones. Asrock, for example, supports individual zones for fans and thus you can assign them individually with this plugin. Though with splitters you can probably at least get the two profiles you want, one for fans on one side and one for the other. Edited December 22, 2018 by planetix Quote Link to comment

That would be fine! I have one connection for the Drive side anyway. I think the issue is that this BMC is only exposing one group, or the plugin doesn't know how this new board is splitting them. Unless I'm missing a configuration somewhere? Quote Link to comment

Also check the Settings page that you haven't globally disabled any fans. Also make sure your on the latest bios and bmc as sometimes there are changes to the sensor names. Edit: also if you were using this plugin previous to your upgrade, you might want to remove the plugin and delete the ipmi plugin directory on the flash drive. Then reinstall. Or atleast resave all settings. Quote Link to comment

May be the reason the IPMI names don't conform to other X11 boards fan names. Also we need to be sure what commands your board actually supports. For mine there 2 zones as @planetix said. Zone 0 is for system/cpu and includes FAN1-4. Zone 1 is for peripherals and includes only FANA.

Tybio Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Ok, I re-wored my fan headers this morning, the system side fans are all in the "CPU" ports, and the drive side is in a "SYS" header. The result is all fans on full, it sounds like they are spinning down a bit when the timer hits for the IPMI plugin, but then they spool back up to full.

Tybio Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 As a note, I set both the minimum PWM to 50%...as far as I know that should be fine for the FANs in my case....it was able to go lower with CPU control, so I don't think I'm hitting the erred state...it just feels like the IPMI full speed setting is being re-applied or something.

Tybio Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Odd, I did a full reset...meaning not just a reboot but powering down the system and unplugging it to force the BMC to reset and it seems to work now!

The bmc will keep kicking them up to full speed. Set them to 200 or 300 rpms Quote Link to comment
