Re: [slim] WOL after a long time off ? Issue

2013-11-10 Thread DJanGo

Hi,

Wol is a complex thing.
its Hard & Softwarebased.
So please describe your Network and what Versions / Os you have (with
the problems)

Basic is:
The "Bios"/UEFI has a Menü - WOL must be enabled.
The Switch/ Router has a Map "this MAC Adress" is here "this Mac
Address" is there and "that MacAdress" is internal unknown.

May it helps to put Reserved Ips for your stuff - then the Router knows
"that MAC Address is local".

To tell you about my office - everytime i get a new (fresh) System i
cant WOL it up - even when i know the MAC. It has to be online one time.
(But i dont poweroff the switches/Router)
If a "winblows" system bluescreens and i shut it down / or i shut it
down the "Hard" way - i cant wol it on.
It has to start "clean" one Time.

So ves - there is some knowledge (for working WOL) inside your Stuff
that is lost when you power it off.

cheers



Gruss

Re: [slim] WOL after a long time off ? Issue

2013-11-10 Thread Mnyb

The server is HP microserver N36L with clear OS 6 beta ( redhat Linux )

WOL is enabled in bios it works for my daily and weekly use , the
problem only occurs after a long time away .

The router is an old linksys wrt54L with tomato firmware there are some
simple Netgear switches in use ( blue small officestuff no settings or
advanced features ) .

Basically it's Internet to router , router to switches then all
computers server and desktop are wired two squeezeboxes are wired.

It's one network with one subnet as simple as you can have it .

Server , computer and squeezeboxes have static network adresses outside
of the routers DCHP pool .
Combined with switches that means that the desktop and the server can
comunicate even when the router is down .

That's why I suspect the NIC in the server as I use "etherwake" on my
desktop ( the desktop is linux mint )that basically is wired to the
server and send a magic package aimed at the correct mac for th server
NIC ?

Alsomthe tomato router software has a feature where can manually input
the correct mac and WOL stuff, this does not work either

I may try to experiment with the server if it's NIC forgots it supposed
to listen for WOL after prolonged off .

I may start there pulling the power cable out of the server for a bit
longer time .

But is not wol supposed to work over broadcast ? if i use an utility
where i can manually spec the mac anything on the net with that mac
should wake up ?

But keep the ideas coming , I'm not in a hurry is this is not disturbing

Hi,

please "try" to use additional dhcp reserved addresses also - your right
Servers should have fixed / static Adresses.
it may help
But dont remove the power cable, that wont fix nothing.

yupp - but the "bios" or "uefi" hasnt a complete Ipstack. I knew some
Systems that even if the Nic is plugged to a switch and the Server / PC
is plugged to the power the nics wont blink unless you start them (equal
if completly to the os or just with the enter Bios key pressed)

as d6jg also mentioned - the arpcache should be one of the things to
sort out first. And you can use the trick with the reserved ips (in the
dhcp / Router) to find out if it helps or not.
To make that clear - i dont want you to enable DHCP or reserved Address
in the server itself - just in the router!

Re: [slim] WOL after a long time off ? Issue

2013-11-10 Thread epoch1970

The MAC will disappear from the ARP table after a while. But as you use
the broadcast address this should not be an issue. 

Enters power management. 
For a few years now PCs which are euro-compliant are mandated to feature
a power off mode ~ 1Wh. Many (all?) machines will reach this level only
with the Ethernet board fully powered off. In this mode the thing is
dead, no matter of WOL will wake the computer. A bios option should be
available to engage/ disable the feature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

Same goes for "green Ethernet" switches/routers. These will modulate the
power applied to an Ethernet port according to the detected cable
length, negotiated speed, and will power off ports which are not
connected (or connected to a dead link, I suppose.)  I believe the
amount of power saved by port is minuscule; but considering a sparely
populated 16-port switch operating 24/365, I suppose the initiative
makes sense. I your router/switch is of the green Ethernet kind, you
will probably find an option related to power in its management
interface.

Thank's again ! i will read this more carefully when i get home .

Why i wanted to pull the plug was to test if the root cause is that the
server looses its memory , before investigating more complex causes . It
can be that simple as everything works fine ( including wol ) when i'm

Re: [slim] WOL after a long time off ? Issue

2013-11-10 Thread Mnyb

One part solved for now ( I must gather more data after a long stay from
home ).

Fact I forgot to mention i use WOL to boot the server it's not ojust the
standby part .

The server NIC can't remember a thing even if remove the power just a
couple of seconds . So power cable must be in even if the server is
"off" .

Experiment : 

disconnected the router from network ( to exclude any issues there and
also exclude help from recent arp cache ) desktop pc off iPeng off .

Turned off the server from the  front button ( confirmed OS shutdown )
pressed "on" on my boom who happens to be conected to the same switch ,
the server booted up fine .

Now I briefly removed power from the server , tried to WOL again no
sucess . Know I know that .

Server will now WOL as usual until next power outage .

What surprised me was that it has no memory backup for this ? , so while
I'm away working on some project I migth very well have some short power
outage at home who I'm unaware of . That explain some of the occasions
when this won't work .
NIC is on the mobo and the mobo remembers time and other settings so it
has functioning backup battery it just this setting that gets dropped .
So either it is a setting I can change in the bios or more likely this
settings is not stored in any fprom just volatile memory so it is this
way nothing to do really . It migth even be so that the network hardware
just sits on the mobo but does not really share any memory and
functionality with the bios and is its own thing anyway .

And I also tested that my wired players can WOL the server without any
help from the router .

I had the same issue with my Vortexbox.  I had to edit
/usr/local/sbin/network_up.sh and add the following 'echo "ethtool -s
eth0 wol g" | at now + 1 minute' to set the WOL configuration after the
network had started. This is with Fedora 16, so YMMV.

Really ? I'll check my configuration , I have something similar already
so WOL is working but it was years since I've done that .
Do your vbox handle the total loss of power case ?

Yes, it does. I believe that the problem was a timing issue. Although
the WOL setting was correct, it was being applied before the network
interface loaded and wasn't taking effect on the initial boot from power
off/sutdown, but did take effect after re-boots. The work-around
re-applies the proper configuration after the network has been up for 1
minute. You may be having a different issue, but even so this might
point you in the right direction.

Interesting it could be hardware dependent too I can't remember my old
server doing this .
In fact I will check even closer it was so long ago that I migth
remember it wrong , my old server needed some script a long these lines
to even to do a varm boot ! I'll check if my current OS and hardware
really needed that .
I migth have skipped this part if WOL " just worked " or reused a
solution that does not really fit this hardware .

Thanks for the input . I'm really no computer expert so I have to work a
bit to get around these things .

Do you use a hardware vortexbox or are you using a microserver ? Some HP
microservers are used as vorteboxes .

nah that did not work i had to set it elsewhere but it it did not take (
i tried different variations to ) .

Workaround is to have the server to boot at powerfailure , possibly
another NIC may actually work

I don't think this has much to do with "memory".
I surmise either:
a - soft power off mode differs from cold power off in the network card
status
b - when the machine encounters a power failure event, somehow the bios
gets zapped to a factory config that has the NIC disabled in power off
mode

I've seen b) happen, but typically this would require many power
failures in a row (like a machine failing to boot a few times, and the
bios rolling back to failsafe defaults). Or a dead battery on the
motherboard (sensors should tell you that; or the date reported by the
machine early in the boot process.)
For me the most probable circumstance is a) and I would try 2 things:
1 - check there isn't a bios option to keep the network card active in
cold off mode.
2 - change the power failure mode to "restart", and rely on the OS power
management logic to bring the machine to soft-off again after a while.

I would prefer option 1) to work, by a mile. Power events rarely come
alone, it's probably better not to have the server get caught by a
secondary power failure while it is checking its disk drive due to the
1st unexpected restart...

(or perhaps you can get creative with the bios scheduled start feature
--like: every day at 10pm--, depending of how it behaves when the
machine is in soft-off mode, and how you can manipulate this setting
from the booted OS...)

Yes I could not find such mode in the bios it's rather simplistic
compared to my desktop who has all sort of stuff for everything . Cold
of would mean some memory in prom or a battery there is no power so it
has to remeber somehow a pity there is no bios settingto remebr this .

The power modes are on,off and "current mode" (they chose another
wording that eludes me) ? the "current" selection mean that it would
return to the state it was in before the power failure .
That means if it was off it would return to be off (orange lligth on the
front NIC blinking ) but that apearently does not include listening for
wol, packages .

I rather live with as is it's really not a big problem ,actually having
multiple reboots could potentially be a bigger problem as you say .

But it satifies curiusity as why its happens , so less of a mystery most
