My first try was successful. So I'm glad

Thanks!

Ohh, thank you macom.

That's even more convenient and universal than what I had in mind.

Even if I don't quite understand a few options like the IP ranges, it seems to be exactly that.

Do I understand correctly that it is shut down regardless of the time?

So if I enable "Forced uptime" does that mean that the NAS will run at least that long and the other conditions will only be taken into account afterwards?

But, it should not start at fixed hours, only if wake on magic packets

Hello OMV fans.

My OMV 6.9.12-2 (Shaitan) is actually running perfectly. I am now in the process of improving the energy balance.

Since I don't use OMV every day, but only on a case-by-case basis, I would like to shut down the NAS in the evening on a scheduled basis and wake it up again if necessary.

This works almost perfectly via the web gui.

/#/system/powermgmt/tasks

So this is apparently a cronjob. I can't find it, does it work via anacron?

/var/spool/anacron/crond.daily

No, I can't find it.

My problem is the following:

Sometimes a longer rsync or another long-running process is running, or I am still logged into the shell for once. It would be ideal if the scheduled suspend would not suspend the NAS, but wait in this case or simply do nothing at all.

If I could find the script, I would have the chance to extend it.

If not, then I'll write my own script, no problem, but an integration into the OMV environment would be cool.

I hope I have conveyed my thoughts clearly.

Here I can join right away, because this will also come to me.

I guess that a backup to external media is the only safe and painless solution.

But what if you don't have a single disk where everything fits?

Of course you have to take care of it yourself and divide the directories on 2-3 disks.

There is certainly no semi-automatic backup program for this, or is there? In the past there was something like that for backing up to DVD, which allowed you to do that...

I just want to say that I really like the Matrix background!

How was it implemented?

Resolution:

My connection to the local network was as follows

Fritzbox -Wifi-TL-WA860RE-RJ45-OMV

The internet connection went, but very slow.

Currently OMV is connected directly to the Fritzbox via cable.

Everything runs normally again.

The crutch with the TL-WA860RE was during the setup in the basement, where the WiFi connection is not so good.

Initially, the local ping was perfectly fine, except for yesterday.

Now, of course, it's not a problem at all.

I made some progress, seems the problem is not omv but a router extension

Im investigating and report

Today ,I suffered from an extrem delay to and from openmediavault in local network

Yesterday I upgraded openmediavault-compose:amd64 (6.10.3, 6.11)

Is this a cause or coincidence, I don't now.

My lan is a Fritzbox 7590 with some dhcp clients.

Are there any tips? shall I try to disable IP6? or uninstall the last upgrade of openmediavault-compose:amd64 (6.10.3, 6.11) ?

One last thing.

I have the NAS with a used

HP Proliant Microserver Gen8 server.

This has the peculiarity only from a USB slot can be booted.

So the system disk is sdd1 and the USB stick is sdf1.

There is the target of grup-install

the fsarchiver will probably not recognize this and after a restore of sdd1 a subsequent grub-install will probably be necessary, I guess.

It would be perfect if an image would be created also from sdf1, it is also very small.

But I will have to tinker with that or write a readme for it.

I know borgbackup and using it for my server.

Just discovered fsarchiver and want to give it a try.

And yes a fulldd might be also valid once a week should be enough

so I'll see how it works

Thank you for inspiration

Quote from ryecoaaron

Are you changing the backup method from time to time?

I tried dd and fsarchiver for now. That's why my question come up.

No, if a have time I will the fsarchiver method test and choose it, because it is amazingly fast and encrypted

Thanks for the clarification.

My thought was that I can backup from it to a USB disk and then have the bundle of files created with the same tool.

I have since looked at the backup script and it is clearer to me how it works.

A few words about the backup plugin.

It works as intended.

I find that the backup file names lack a unique identifier for the backup method.

For example, when backing up with fsarchiver, it is hard to find the corresponding files on the backup media with a regular expression.

For example:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root user 928 Oct 18 00:04 backup-omv-2023-10-18_00-00-01.packages

-rw-r--r-- 1 root user 512 Oct 18 00:04 backup-omv-2023-10-18_00-00-01.grubparts

-rw-r--r-- 1 root user 446 18 Oct 00:04 backup-omv-2023-10-18_00-00-01.grub

-rw-r--r-- 1 root user 4851331251 18 Oct 00:04 backup-omv-2023-10-18_00-00-01.fsa

-rw-r--r-- 1 root user 208 18 Oct 00:04 backup-omv-2023-10-18_00-00-01.fdisk

-rw-r--r-- 1 root user 998 18 Oct 00:04 backup-omv-2023-10-18_00-00-01.blkid

Better would be

backup-omv-fsarch-2023-10-18_00-00-01*

or backup-omv-borg-2023-10-18_00-00-01*

and so on, this would make a selection much easier.

don't it?

edit: Title changed

OKay, sorry guys.

My own error. to dumb to tell

I promise I will tell after some time.

...

So, now that omv had to be reinstalled and everything is running so far, I have the nerve to confess what I did....

I had the 4 drives in the beginning pulled out and when reinserting not properly snapped.

What an idiot I am.

Well, I blame it on my age.

What a debut to a new forum.

Again my apologies for this unnecessary cry for help.

There was an ilo4 license installed, it has disappeared. Possibly due to a BIOS battery change. But that should be possible even without remote ilo, after all, I'm practically sitting in front of it. when I go into ilo it's rather spartan and in the bios itself I can't really find it.

Somehow I must be able to activate this controller again

I just want to use the 4 SATA Harddisks as softraid 6

I search for reactivate them,

Quote

F9 -> System Options -> SATA Controller Options -> Embedded SATA Configuration, then select Enable SATA AHCI Support. Hit ESC until the option to F10 and Save is displayed.

Now the server’s AHCI controller has been enabled, allowing individual access to each drive

Maybe my failure was to unmount them, while I install OMV.

After reinstert them I just can't make them available again

unfortunately, the drives don't even show up in the logs, so they seem to be disabled in the bios, ILO or elsewhere.

Only when they do show up, the next step would be to select a raid and filesystem.

Hello forum,

I have freshly installed omv 6.5.

Unfortunately, I have probably played around somewhere during the adventure with the system and turned off my 4 * 3TB harddisks.

Bios rest to default and set the ata controller back to ahci.

Boot order on USB. System boots and is so far everything ok.

Only the disks are not (more) there.

Does anyone of you have experience how to make them alive again?

I did read the manual from HP but it did not help
