Wake up OMV when shares accessed

  • Hi everybody,
    i am running OMV since a few days and happy so far.


    There is something that i cant understand: I configured WOL, and its works, as far as e. g. a Kodi Client starts and wakes my OMV.
    And i set up my Fritzbox router to wake up the OMV when its accessed from the internet.


    But, much more simple, i want the OMV to wake up when i access it from my home network.
    For example: If my wifes starts up her PC, clicks on one if the connected network drives which is bound to a OMV share -> wake up OMV.


    What the hell am i missing? Why isnt that working?


    Cant be true we have to connect to the OMV via Internet, because that setup works. But not comfortable.


    Any help? Thanks.

    Kodi and your router both send a WOL packet to wake up the system. Trying to access a share (which technically doesn't exist when the system is off) does not send a WOL packet. You could add a desktop icon to send a WOL packet to the server to wake it up and then she could access the share.

  • use WOL from your windows client with wol.exe


    <http://www.gammadyne.com/cmdline.htm#wol>
    download it from here:
    <http://www.gammadyne.com/wol.exe>


    Please write a small batch file with the following content:


    @echo off
    path_to_wol.exe\wol mac_address_from_OMV-NIC
    pause


    then create on your desktop the link for using this batch.


    Here is my batch for example:


    2 BananaPi, 1 OrangePiPC+, 1 OrangePiPC with OMV 6.0.x
