Hi

 

Just wondering if anyone Has or knows a way for UnRaid to see the Temp sensors on a Dell PowerEdge R710 Rev II?

 

I installed UnRaid 6.3.1 to test on a R710 but I could not see any sensor information for Temps, On my Supermicro board I can see all Temps. I put the login details for the ipmi etc and enabled ipmi over LAN but still no sensor data. Does anyone have the sensor info working on the R710, The same goes with esxi no data bar incorrect readings. I installed Xubuntu direct onto a SSD and all the temps are there but in a VM they are 100.00.c

 

Many Thanks

What are you connecting the drives to inside the R710? Are you using a a RAID controller or onboard SATA ports?

I have a 256GB on Sata A and 4 Druves on the Raid card but it's more the CPU Temps I am after as this is a Encoding machine, it's in a Office not a data Center so I Like too keep a eye on the temps as they Hit 95-103.c, I lift the back of the lid to enable the chassis intrusion so the fans run at 8k which takes the temps down too 45-49.c but at the moment it's cool in there but as spring / summer crops up the room will go from 20.c to 30 ish

 

Many thanks

I don't know, perhaps other users with Dell servers can offer their advice and experience. Mayne you should try adding the IPMI plugin to see if it can pick up any sensors on the Dell.

I take it you've tried the Dynamix System Temperature plugin but it hasn't found any useful sensors?

Anyone figure this out yet?

 

I am using Dynamix System Temperature. According to Idrac temp is 23C but according to Dynamix System temp it is showing 34C.

 

I've had luck with the IPMI plugin on a PowerEdge T420. I simply set "Enable Network Connection(s):" to No, so it'd use the IPMI locally, rather than over the network.
