Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has seen a similar problem to what I am experiencing, I have recently installed Nexenta 134b on my NAS server, I have also been playing trying to get WOL to work but:

I am having to switch the power supply switch off then on before I can turn on the NAS via the front switch, is this software or hardware related? :confused:

Could it be that I need a more powerful power supply?

Systen as follows:
Antec 500w PSU
Abit AN8 SLI
AMD Opteron 165 dual core
2GB of crucial ram (2sticks)
Matrox PCI graphics
LSI SAS3442E-R
4 X 1.5TB Samsung F2 HDD's (connected to mobo)
4 X 2TB Samsung F3 HDD's (connected to LSI controller)
above drive in 2 ZFS pools of raidz1.

Many thanks for all your help.
 
Looks like sleep mode doesn't work correctly, and the system actually crashes when in sleep mode. Or is that WOL feature active when you switched your system off (i.e. no sleep cycle; but soft-off). In that case it should be a BIOS feature, not related to your OS.

I never really used WOL though. Is this OS-based or BIOS-based?

Hi sub.mesa,

I disabled WOL in the bios and still the same happens, bios WOL settings were set to anabled and and S3 suspend to ram, I have disabled WOL in the bios.

In the OS the only thing that I have changed is I have added a line "S3-support enabeled" in /etc/power.conf:

I am using the "init 5" command from a remote pc to switch the NAS off, could this be the cause for sleep mode not working correctly?

I have discovered in my search and have been helped quiet a lot by Randy Fishel @ Opensolaris that in order for WOL to work the system must suspend and resume correctly and that the drivers must support s/r in order for the system to s/r correctley.

Anyways The Matrox card drivers (called vgatext) did not support s/r so I was told that there is a hack that would work if all the other drivers s/r correctly, so I was experimenting with the hack to see if the system suspends and resumes.

I have managed to get the system to suspend but never to resume, so you may be right that sleep mode is not working right.

This is a message log from Nexenta when trying out the suspend and resume:

Which Antec 500W PSU do you have?

It is a power suply that was build into a ready made pc so I presume it's pretty crappy, that's what makes me think that I may need to better one but not sure whether this is what is causing the problem.

Find out the exact make and model of the PSU.

Hi Danny Bui,

I have opened the NAS and after looking at the power supply I realized that the Antec Earthwatts that I thought was used for my NAS was swapped over to build my son's pc and used a chepo as a stop gap... :eek:

I think I need my head looking at for using this:

Advance
Pentium IV & PFC
Model: EA-550W2
ATX 12V Switching PSU
Voltage 230V
Current 4.5A
Frequency 50Hz

So could the power supply cause the this problem? I am going to change it regardless, would the Corsair vx550 or TX650 be good enought? my intention would be to have up to 20 hdd's in the future.

Many thanks
 
Small possiblity that it could be PSU related. But doesn't really matter since you're replacing all the drives anyway. PSU wise, go with the 650TX. However I would spend the extra cash for the 750TX for a bit more headroom.

Many thanks, I will check both of the Corsair psu's out.

Agreed but the hardware plays a part also, that is my issue with getting WOL to work now in Opensolaris, in order for WOL to work your hardware need to support s/r (suspend and resume) otherwise WOL will never work no matter how you set your bios.
 
I have just bought a Corsair HX750, I thought the extra is worth it over the Corsair TX650, I hope I have made the right decision, we'll have to wait and see when it delivers, it'll be better than the Advance psu :eek: that's for sure.
 
Just thought I'll report back on the fix for my issue, the new power supply has done the trick, I no longer need to power cycle the psu before turning the pc on.

So anyone outhere using a crappy power supply...CHANGE IT :D.

Now soldiering on to get WOL top work.
