gmk2 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Believe it or not you were half way there on page 9 in April 2016 - you have a post with a mix of x10/11 and x9 raw commands you asked people to test. which includes the x9 raw strings. You must have found a relevant resource back then. I only found the raw commands after a long and protracted search hidden in the depths of a supermicro FAQ post in response to a query a user raised on another x9 board. It wasn't obvious. I have also noted that ipmi_helpers.php will also need to be updated as it saves the config set by the user assuming 64 steps as well. I have not spent much time tweaking as I am hoping this is a heck of a lot easier for you to update than for me to continue modding. Much appreciated - this is a really great looking plugin for my use case (and obviously for a heck of a lot of other people out there too). Quote Link to comment

Much appreciated - this is a really great looking plugin for my use case (and obviously for a heck of a lot of other people out there too). I have a list of a bunch of Supermicro and ASRock commands. I knew I had those commands but didn't realize the range was 0 - 255 (00-ff). I updated the plugin with changes for X9 boards. If you have any trouble you can run ipmifan --debug from the command line. It will show all the variables on the console and log the command string to the fanlog. Quote Link to comment
Lothar Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) I am having issues with the latest update 20180520. The plugin no longer controls my fans all are running at full RPM. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing. This is on a Supermicro X11SSH-F. EDIT Fixed now. I had to reset all temp and fan settings. Edited May 20, 2018 by Lothar Now Fixed Quote Link to comment

I have the exact board and it's working for me. What are your fan settings? What does the ipmifan log say? Clear the log and start and stop the fan control. You can also stop fan control and run ipmifan - - debug and post the ipmifan log. Quote Link to comment

If it was 3 or 5 min it might have taken that long to adjust. 30 sec. on temp. and 2 min. on HD. The fans were at full RPM for 15-20 min. While I was troubleshooting. I had the same thing happen on my backup server that I updated after. It may have something to do with going from 2 decimal places to one, as the settings were saved from the previous version at 2 decimals but when moved were corrected to one. Quote Link to comment

It may have something to do with going from 2 decimal places to one, as the settings were saved from the previous version at 2 decimals but when moved were corrected to one. I'll look into it more. The decimal places should have no effect as the underlying values for the selections were still 1-64 or 1-255 Quote Link to comment
gmk2 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi dmacias, I am currently away on work travel, however, a mate is setting up an identical server to mine and has kindly tested the x9 update and everything looks to be working properly. Hooray for fan control! I'll have a bit more time at the end of the week to take a closer look but so far all looks good. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

gmk2 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi dmacias, Can I make another request? I've had a look at the fan control logic and essentially what it is doing is saying: - if the temp is <= templo apply fanmin - if the temp is >= temphi apply fanmax, - if the temp is within the range, calculate (reading - templo)/(temphi - templo) ------> then check if the pct is outside the fanmin / fanmax and apply this over the top What this does is any temp just over templo will essentially always calculate as a number below fanmin, so instead of a gradient from fanmin to fanmax occuring from templo to temphi you get a flat line of fanmin until the calculation reaches fanmin. To correct this, the code can be adjusted to use fanmin and fanmax to define the range produced and give a nice gradient. In ipmifan change: $pct = ($reading-$templo)/($temphi-$templo); To: $pct = ($reading-$templo)/($temphi-$templo)*($fanmax-$fanmin)/$range + $fanmin/$range; What does this do? I set templo to 30 and temphi to 55 with a fanmin of 51.3. The existing code will apply fanmin from 31 through 42 degrees while the new code will step up from 51.3 % to 61% fan in the same temp range. The below table shows how the existing logic is flatlined on fanmin for ~ half the range vs the proposed logic which will progressively step up fans throughout the range. Temp Existing: Proposed 19 FANMIN FANMIN 20 FANMIN FANMIN 21 FANMIN FANMIN 22 FANMIN FANMIN 23 FANMIN FANMIN 24 FANMIN FANMIN 25 FANMIN FANMIN 26 FANMIN FANMIN 27 FANMIN FANMIN 28 FANMIN FANMIN 29 FANMIN FANMIN 30 FANMIN FANMIN 31 130.815 135.7824 32 130.815 140.7498 33 130.815 145.7172 34 130.815 150.6846 35 130.815 155.652 36 130.815 160.6194 37 130.815 165.5868 38 130.815 170.5542 39 130.815 175.5216 40 130.815 180.489 41 130.815 185.4564 42 130.815 190.4238 43 132.6 195.3912 44 142.8 200.3586 45 153 205.326 46 163.2 210.2934 47 173.4 215.2608 48 183.6 220.2282 49 193.8 225.1956 50 204 230.163 51 214.2 235.1304 52 224.4 240.0978 53 234.6 245.0652 54 244.8 250.0326 55 FANMAX FANMAX 56 FANMAX FANMAX 57 FANMAX FANMAX 58 FANMAX FANMAX 59 FANMAX FANMAX 60 FANMAX FANMAX 61 FANMAX FANMAX 62 FANMAX FANMAX 63 FANMAX FANMAX I'm trialing this code now and it seems to be working nicely.

I think I see what you want to do. Rescale it and I was just applying the min till it went above. Makes sense. Do you have a github account? You could do a pull request. Replace that line and remove the 2 if statements imposing the limits just below it. Edited May 26, 2018 by dmacias Quote Link to comment
gmk2 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I don't have a github account - you need to keep the two statements above the one I modified as it still relies on the min / max rules outside of the templo to temphi range. No rush Quote Link to comment

You might also need to use the sensor config editor and set the thresholds for your fans. I need to make a guide how to do that but there's some info earlier in the thread.

FANA worked in the previous release? I'm not sure how to pull the fan specific log - is that through the IPMI plugin? The Event log only shows "Upper Critical - going high ; Sensor Reading = 2900.00 RPM ; Threshold = 2500.00 RPM" Fan A is the CPU fan and it's an intel stock cooler, which should have an RPM range of 800-2500. I have the thresholds set for that as follows: Lower_Non_Critical_Threshold 700.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Lower_Critical_Threshold 500.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold 300.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Upper_Non_Critical_Threshold 2400.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Upper_Critical_Threshold 2500.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Upper_Non_Recoverable_Threshold 3000.000000 The CPU fan worked fine in the last release yeah. It might be worth me pulling an entirely new config file and resetting everything. I think my other fans are still set to a lower threshold because they were low RPM fans (which I had trouble adjusting for) and are now normal case fans.

gmk2 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hi cyriouslydylan, Your minimum fan setting for Fan A is way way too low - at 15% I'd be suprised if the fan even spins. Remember the % is of PWM and PWM doesn't equal RPM. You need to set this up to something more realistic - start with 50% PWM and check what rpm you get. Quote Link to comment

Remember the % is of PWM and PWM doesn't equal RPM. You need to set this up to something more realistic - start with 50% PWM and check what rpm you get. OK so I changed my minimum for both sets of fans to be 50%, and also changed the threshold settings for the CPU fan. It doesn't seem to have helped thus far, but here are the new settings: Section 875_FANA ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_All_Event_Messages Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Scanning_On_This_Sensor Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Assertion_Event_Lower_Critical_Going_Low Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Assertion_Event_Lower_Non_Recoverable_Going_Low Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Assertion_Event_Upper_Critical_Going_High Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Assertion_Event_Upper_Non_Recoverable_Going_High Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Deassertion_Event_Lower_Critical_Going_Low Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Deassertion_Event_Lower_Non_Recoverable_Going_Low Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Deassertion_Event_Upper_Critical_Going_High Yes ## Possible values: Yes/No Enable_Deassertion_Event_Upper_Non_Recoverable_Going_High Yes ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Lower_Non_Critical_Threshold 1000.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Lower_Critical_Threshold 900.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold 800.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Upper_Non_Critical_Threshold 2400.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Upper_Critical_Threshold 2500.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM Upper_Non_Recoverable_Threshold 2800.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM; 'None' to not use hysteresis Positive_Going_Threshold_Hysteresis 100.000000 ## Give valid input for sensor type = Fan; units = RPM; 'None' to not use hysteresis Negative_Going_Threshold_Hysteresis 100.000000 EndSection 2018-05-27 22:53:06 Starting Fan Control 2018-05-27 22:53:06 Setting fans to full speed 2018-05-27 22:53:06 Fan:Temp, FAN1234(50%):HDD Temp(34°C), FANA(50%):CPU Temp(29°C) It also seems that as soon as I start fan control it immediately puts all of the fans to full speed. It's probably unrelated but also worth mentioning that the "reset bmc" button doesn't seem to work for me. Whenever I try and do it, after I confirm through the gui that I want to do a cold reset, I get a red x in a circle. Edited May 28, 2018 by cyriouslydylan Quote Link to comment
gmk2 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Do your fans drop down from max when you enable fan control before roaring back to full noise? If so this is likely the classic supermicro fan speed falling below threshold forcing max fan speed.. With 50% PWM and your now increased lower thresholds you may be doing exactly this. You can check the ipmi log to see if it is logging threshold events, and check the sensor readings to see the actual fan rpm (rather than the config). If you want to adjust your thresholds, set your fanmin to 85% and see if the rpm fall from max. Check what the rpm value is. Progressively change the fanmin down by 10% and check the rpm and you should find the threshold point. Unless the PWM% is low enough for your need this may be a trigger to drop your thresholds. For me, I looked up my fan specification and set the thresholds 150 rpm below. The threshold is intended as a safety feature in case the fan control doesn't apply enough PWM to get the fan to start, its not intended to define the minimum rpm you want to run the fans at. It does take a little tweaking to get right. I have a few pages in a notebook of trialing PWM % settings to see what rpm my case fans vs cpu fans returned. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
