September 21, 20169 yr Getting my UnRAID server to S3 Sleep is no problem. Waking the damn thing up is a different story. Do I need to hit the power button every time? What are the other ways to wake it up? Can I wake it up in a similar fashion to when the disks spin down, by just trying to access the user share? It would be nice if the Plugin woke it up at a scheduled time just like the schedule to make it sleep.
September 21, 20169 yr Preferred way to wake it is using WOL magic packet. If you have any Kodi Media Centre's there is an addon to send WOL packet as the devices turns on. There are also windows and smart phone apps which can send the magic packet as well.
September 23, 20169 yr Hi in my case after upgrading to 6.2 it is not shutting down anymore. It seems the powerdown scripts is not found by s3_sleep.
September 25, 20169 yr Author Can the UnRAID server wake itself after S3 Sleep state or does it always have to be via WOL from another source?
September 25, 20169 yr Author Your bios might support a schedule of when to wake. I have the Z97 Extreme6, from looking at the Software Setup Guide, it does not appear to have that feature. Are there any routers that can provide the WOL signal?
September 25, 20169 yr Author Its a great day when you can answer your own questions. Turns out my DD-WRT router has a WOL signal feature. Yipee!!!
October 7, 20169 yr Its a great day when you can answer your own questions. Turns out my DD-WRT router has a WOL signal feature. Yipee!!! There are several ways to do this. Under Windows, i use a little program called "wake.exe". If you like it scheduled, use the taskplaner an create a scheduled task for wake.exe - thats it
October 8, 20169 yr Author I have a Windows VM so, no help there. Since the DD-WRT router stays on all the time, seems like the obvious choice. Now, if can only get my UnRAID monitor to wake up with the server, I'd be set!

January 2, 20233 yr Hi there, I've used this plugin without any issues for a long time, but recently (I assume after an OS or plugin update) it started going to sleep during a parity check. It happens on both my servers, so I have to disable sleep before running a parity check. Is this behaviour to be expected now? Otherwise, sleep works as expected and only goes to sleep with there is no array activity for the specified amount of time. For some reason, it looks like parity check is not considered to be array activity.
