[Plugin] IPMI for unRAID 6.1+


Recommended Posts

I've been using this plug in for a very long time and absolutely love it.  Thanks so much!

 

I have a request.  Would it be possible to move the "IPMI Summary" on the Dashboard from the top of the page to the bottom of the page?  With the newer look of unRAID the look and layout for the IPMI Summary just down't match and I'd also like to have access to other information at the top of the page.

 

A silly cosmetic tweak I know, but I just thought I would ask.

 

Kind regards,

craigr

first of all thank you for this awesome tool! I have a Supermicro X10DRL-i with Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans. I was able to connect via network and lowered the threshold for all the fans to 200. this got rid of the constant cycle, but now my fans spin full speed all the time. looking at the events, it tells me that based on the temperature it will lower the speed to 40%, but it never does. on the supermicro IPMI the "Current FAN Mode is Full". where should I look next?

 

here is the sample log:

2019-12-26 20:46:01 Starting Fan Control
2019-12-26 20:46:01 Setting fans to full speed
2019-12-26 20:46:11 Fan:Temp, FAN1234(25%):HDD Temp(31°C), FANA(25%):HDD Temp(31°C)

 

LE: this is fixed. Issue was with the config file. I have made some changes there and disabled all users except the basic admin. I have also disabled all the sensors I didn't need (all except CPU, system and HDD temp). Fans now go to the lower ends as well.

So I installed this to control my fans since changing over to Noctuas.

 

The fan log reads:

020-01-07 17:26:06 Starting Fan Control
2020-01-07 17:26:06 Setting fans to full speed

Is that all that it can do? Without any fan control my Supermicro would spin up the fans to full speed and then stop in very short cycles.

 

Never mind - I am running an X9DRi-LN4F+ and I saw that this supports only X10 and up motherboards.

Does any one use the ipmi tool / plugin to control multiple fans for hdd temps?

Fan control does work, but it will only adjust one fan and not both.

So I think I have it working with my X9 board. Apparently it won't work except through localhost for me.

 

But lots of errors related to FANA and FANB which are two mid-chassis fans. FAN1 and FAN2 are the two CPU fans...

 

Really I want to slow down the 80mm in back which are crazy loud.

Hi all,

Today I've added a new fan in the case and started unraid back up and tried to add the readings of the new fan onto dashboard.

Now in IPMI tools, I cannot change any of the settings anymore. The apply button is not responsive.

It's still polling the readings, no problem there.

I think maybe it cannot write into the config file for some reason. It is possible that I may have installed the ipmi tools plugin before I had a root password setup.

Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help.

Any ideas?

Please can you add support for dual gpu systems which have 8 fans.

 ie. add FANB, FANC, FAND to FAN A

Definitely like IPMI in that it reads the Sea of Sensors on my HP server.

Definitely don't like how it hijacks the Dashboard.

Hoping that gets fixed soon.  At least make it so it can collapse? :D

You can adjust that in the IPMI Tool settings page.

Settings> Display Settings> Dashboard Sensors

Ok I see. I'll have to update the plugin when I get a chance

Hey, Thanks for your work on this plugin!

 

Is it possible to also add SAS support to the HDD Temperature sensor?

 

Here's a sample output;

This will allow you to select which sensors are displayed but does not have an option for collapsing the display.

Oh.... that makes sense... Global... Display...

 

Think I need to start drinking coffee or red bull or something, in large quantities. :D

 

So what does "Available Hard Drives" do then?  It doesn't appear to show up anyplace.

 

Except it's showing them in C... i'm an F kind of guy.  Curiously enough, when I tag 3 sensors to show in the footer, they're in F.  Given I can put up to 4 in the footer, I might just stick with them anyways.

If you click on help or individually click on the display settings descriptions, more info on each item is displayed. This is true throughout the entire unraid gui. If you remove all sensors from the dashboard then no dashboard.

I can code the fixes and update the package, would you accept the PR and push the update ?
 
Or should I rather fork, release and take over maintenance ?
 
https://github.com/extremeshok
I'd gladly accept the PR. I'll take any help I can get. I don't have as much time lately to really work on things. Feel free to ask me any questions or suggest any other changes while you're poking around.

So I'm having an issue with changing the IPMI password. I had to change the password on the server, and when I went to update it in the IPMI setting in Unraid the username and password fields are grayed out. I tried to change the setting while the array was running, in maintenance mode and while the array was stopped. My friend has the same issue we are both running the latest Unraid on Supermicro boards. Thanks for any help.

Turn on the help menu and you’ll see that notifications and fan control must both be stopped before you can change settings for network control via ipmi. You should also know that this isn’t needed if you are accessing a board on the local host.
