This issue is the collection of the compatibility feedbacks.
Please leave a comment here with the name of your Super Micro motherboard if you either :

successfully executed SMFC

or

you tried and failed because of a compatibility issue

Thanks for your feedback.

Super Micro X11SCH-F motherboard is OK.

petersulyok · 2023-05-28T08:28:02Z

@thiete reported that Super Micro X11SPI-TF motherboard is OK.

secabeen · 2023-05-28T19:58:15Z

Works great on my X11SAE-F-O

alexhelms · 2023-06-04T21:19:58Z

I have a 6028U-TR4T+ server with the X10DRU-i+ motherboard and SMFC partially works. There are 9 fan headers but 4 populated fans in the chassis. Fans 1 and 2 are for CPU1 and fans 7 and 8 are for CPU2 (according to ipmitool). The other fan headers are unpopulated. I believe there are two CPU zones and no HD zones. I tried with with swapped_zones=0 and it only controlled fans 1 and 2. I changed to swapped_zones=1 and now fans 7 and 8 were controlled.

Is there a way to configure two cpu zones?

petersulyok · 2023-06-08T21:55:25Z

Hi @alexhelms! Please continue the discussion about your X10DRU-i+ motherboard in issue #20

Supermicro H13SSL-NT

With an AMD EPYC Genoa CPU seems to work just fine (a little guesswork with temperature sensors/paths though).

I have my chassis fans on connectors FAN[1-4], and CPU on FANA, with swapped_zones=1

(sidenote: setting custom thresholds for fans warn/crit levels etc didn't work out of the box but haven't had time to investigate, the defaults work)

Supermicro X11SCH-LN4, I'm having the same issue as #21 I will await your update to fix the issue as noted in the thread. Thank you for making this! I've spent a month trying to solve my fan rpm oscillation issue.

X11SCH-LN4 is working fine for @Rhyolite1.

siliciferous · 2023-10-19T15:10:31Z

X11SCL-iF seems to work without issue.

The work you've done here is fantastic, you've made granular IPMI fan control in a platform that doesn't expose it in a straightforward way (like allowing us to build our fan curves from BIOS/UEFI setup!) relatively easy.

veita · 2023-12-17T15:57:23Z

Seems to work on SuperServer E300-9A with A2SDi-TP8F single processor motherboard.

u-w-e-h · 2024-01-14T16:16:12Z

Works perfect @ A2SDi-H-TPTF motherboard.

Board: X13SAE-F

Board Fan Names: CPU_FAN1 | CPU_FAN2 | SYS_FAN1 | SYS_FAN2 | SYS_FAN3

Script Name	Status	Notes
set_ipmi_fan_level.sh	Works	The zones are still the same and the script works as intended
fan_measurement.sh	Works [Mod]	Needs to have FAN names updated, sleep set to 10sec to give enough time to slow down and sometimes set speed will error with `Get Device ID command failed: 0xff Unspecified error` `Received a response with unexpected ID 0 vs. 1`
set_ipmi_threshold.sh	Errors	Even with the FANs named properly anything beside `Lower Critical Error` throws the following error `Command illegal for specified sensor or record type` and fails to apply the failed values.
set_ipmi_fan_mode.sh	Works	No changes needed
ipmi_bmc_reset.sh	Works	No changes needed. Reports: `Length of the BMC cold reset cycle was 74 seconds.`

@petersulyok I only tested the ipmi scripts, I have not run the full solution, let me know if you want me to test something else.

As it was reported above by @hcgonzalezpr, smfc is running on Super Micro X13SAE-F. AST2600 has only one fan threshold sensor Lower Critical, other thresholds are not implemented (i.e. Lower Non-Recoverable, Lower Non-Critical, Upper Non-Critical, Upper Critical, Non-Recoverable), like this:

Sensor ID              : CPU_FAN1 (0x41)
 Entity ID             : 29.1
 Sensor Type (Threshold)  : Fan
 Sensor Reading        : 420 (+/- 0) RPM
 Status                : ok
 Lower Non-Recoverable : na
 Lower Critical        : 140.000
 Lower Non-Critical    : na
 Upper Non-Critical    : na
 Upper Critical        : na
 Upper Non-Recoverable : na
 Positive Hysteresis   : 140.000
 Negative Hysteresis   : 140.000
 Assertion Events      :
 Assertions Enabled    : lcr-
 Deassertions Enabled  : lcr-

Other difference is the naming of the fans: CPU_FAN1, SYS_FAN1, etc.

As it was reported above by @hcgonzalezpr, smfc is running on Super Micro X13SAE-F. AST2600 has only one fan threshold sensor (Upper Critical), other thresholds are not implemented.

I think you got a typo, only Lower Critical is able to be set.

petersulyok · 2024-02-23T18:26:47Z

I think you got a typo, only Lower Critical is able to be set.

Thanks indeed. My comment has been edited/corrected.

H11SSL-NC used in a SC846/847 chassis and with an external 44 bay supermicro jbod.

Was failing to start

Maybe a sanity check for people who can't read and are just using the ./smfc.py script to ensure the drivetemp module is loaded?

petersulyok · 2024-03-22T07:10:29Z

Good idea, now v3.5.0 does this.

Wasn't aware of this thread. X11SSL-F reporting in, all a-okay.

H13SRA-TF not responding to change in fan speed. smfc.serivce is running without error. All fans stayed at 100%

H13SRA-TF not responding to change in fan speed. smfc.serivce is running without error. All fans stayed at 100%

Try a full power off and on cycle after changing the fan mode and fan min & max PWM values, this worked for me.

taoning · 2024-04-24T20:15:20Z

Try a full power off and on cycle after changing the fan mode and fan min & max PWM values, this worked for me.

Tried full power off and on, fan ramped to 100% within a few seconds after booting into OS. I can only set lower critical RPM through IPMI. Not sure how to set PWM values?

taoning · 2024-04-24T20:59:18Z

nvm, it works now, thanks for the tip.

emansom · 2024-04-25T01:01:42Z

nvm, it works now, thanks for the tip.

@taoning

Make sure lower critical RPM is at least 100 RPM lower than the lowest RPM defined on the fan spec sheet, accounting for manufacturing tolerances and rounded to closest hundred.

So if lowest RPM on spec sheet of the fan is 450 RPM, and the manufacturer tolerances are 25%, then the lower critical RPM should be set to: ((450/100) * (100-25)) - 100 = 237.5, rounded to closest hundred is 200.

A2SDi-4C-HLN4F + Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM

It works perfectly - I am very satisfied. Thanks to all of you who contributed to the development of this great helper.

Xyz00777 · 2024-05-31T01:18:14Z

trying to get it working for my H11SSL-i with ASPEED AST2500 with an proxmox install.
because im not sure with fans are connected on what pwm i tried to set lower to 500 for every fan and 2000 as upper limit for every fan in the config

# This script must be executed by root.
if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
then
    echo "ERROR: Please run as root"
    exit -1
fi

# Setup of the lower threshold limits of the fans (Noctua NF-F12 PWM rotation speed 300-1500 rpm).
# Edit the list of fans here (FAN1, FAN2, FAN4, FANA, FANB)!

do
    # Edit the lower threshold values here (0, 100, 200)!
    ipmitool sensor thresh FAN${i} lower 500 500 500 500 500 500

    ipmitool sensor thresh FAN${i} upper 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000
done

i have Iceberg Thermal IceGALE Xtra with 500-2500 rpm and Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3 with 400-2000 rpm

after i loaded the modules and executed the install.sh file i have startet the service and got these journalctl log and the service crashed with 100% fan speed

Hi @Xyz00777, please continue the dicussion in #37.

kevinfason · 2024-11-01T19:48:47Z

836 with X10SRi-F - working but need to do some adjusting. Its bouncing between 25% and 40% for a 3 degree change.

This mainboard has 6 fan headers. FAN1-5,A. Per SM docs FAN1 is CPU which is Dynatron R27. 2-4 are FAN-0126L4 and 5-A are FAN-0125L4. I adjusted the conf and set_ipmi_threshold.sh for this.

FAN1 | 1700.000 | RPM | ok | 200.000 | 300.000 | 500.000 | 25300.000 | 25400.000 | 25500.000 FAN2 | 4100.000 | RPM | ok | 200.000 | 300.000 | 500.000 | 25300.000 | 25400.000 | 25500.000 FAN3 | 3800.000 | RPM | ok | 200.000 | 300.000 | 500.000 | 25300.000 | 25400.000 | 25500.000 FAN4 | 3800.000 | RPM | ok | 200.000 | 300.000 | 500.000 | 25300.000 | 25400.000 | 25500.000 FAN5 | 4100.000 | RPM | ok | 200.000 | 300.000 | 500.000 | 25300.000 | 25400.000 | 25500.000 FANA | 2300.000 | RPM | ok | 200.000 | 300.000 | 500.000 | 25300.000 | 25400.000 | 25500.000

Next time I power it down I'll get the actual fan manufacturer to look at their spec sheets. This is a ProxMox with the controller passed to a TrueNAS CORE VM. Has 2 NVMe m.2. To get FANA going I put in a SATA SSD and declared it in the conf even though it stated ATA would be auto. I'm moving away from the NVMe to SATA so this will help that zone. Also thought of going back to passive CPU to keep on CPU zone.

Min is set to 10% but I did a capture down to 5.

Is it possible to change which fans belong to a group?

I have an 4U AMD Genoa system that has an active CPU cooler on it, which is named FAN4 in supermicro's ipmi.

I want to have all the other fans to be assigned to HDD zone, and only that cpu fan to be in the CPU zone.

Thanks!

I have just deployed this (in docker) on my SuperMicro H12SSL-i running TrueNAS, and it looks like everything is working fine. Thanks! 👍

You cannot redefine the fan-zone assignment in IPMI, but you may want to check Swapped Zones feature.
