spinning disks up/down

barrygordon · November 17, 2020

In my home theater all my movies are kept on my unraid NAS. To speed up a load of a particular movie, I would like to be able to spin up (or spin down) all of the disks on my unraid system using TCP/IP. Is there a TCP sequence I can use to do that?. I know I did this many years ago, using a command like the following sent to port 80:

GET /update.htm?cmdSpinupAll=Spin%20Up HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.209
Connection: Keep-Alive
Accept-Language: en-US
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
(blank Line)
(blank Line)

What is the proper method with the current Unraid version and what should I expect as a reply

I would like to directly send a command to the array to spin down or spin up the disks prior to accessing them. I would like to do this over TCP/IP using either HTTP or Telnet. is this possible, and if so where can i find information on the sequence to use?

I have merged your topics about this. Please don't post in multiple threads for the same question. It is impossible to coordinate responses when you post in multiple threads. "Crossposting" has been considered bad form on message boards since before the World Wide Web.

If you feel your question hasn't received enough attention after a reasonable time, please post again in the original thread. People often will just quote their original question in a new post in the same thread, or simply make a new post in that thread just saying "bump".

Bump.

There must be a way to spin drives up/down. using a command over TCP (HTTP, Telnet, ????). I know previous versions of Unraid have had that capability as I incorporated that capability using an HTTP GET in my home theater system. I generally have all the drives spun down, and I know of the option to spin down the drives after a time lapse. The WEB interface has the capability ("Spin up all" and "Spin down all" buttons).

I send the following over TCP/IP:

GET /update.htm?cmdSpinupAll=Spin%20Up HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.209
Connection: Keep-Alive
Accept-Language: en-US
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

I receive back a large web page which starts as:
