[HP Microserver Gen8 drives hibernation]

I have always had this issue, since pre DSM 6.  No idea how to fix this either, I would love the unit to go into sleep when not in use...

[Lowest power consumption mode waking up from browser?]

Hi @mr9v9

 

Thanks for your reply. I would like to avoid scheduled turn on/off, the idea is to replicate what my old Synology was doing, sleep CPU + PSU and wake it up when firing DSM in browser. It was kind of hibernating and now I'm not sure if this is the regular behaviour for everyone here in the forum or there is something I'm doing wrong (or my Mobo is not capable of). 

 

I've tried setting Wake on Lan in my Mobo, changing suspension mode from S1 to S3 and vice versa, setting correct Mac and serial number, etc and I could get Wake on Lan working only from Synology Assistant, but don't want to have another device in my network to be triggering waking up. Disks are going to sleep and automatic turn off take place, so to me it looks like it is not a problem with other packages running in background.

 

My assumption so far is that my motherboard is not achieving suspension because of its compatibility with Synology or it is not the expected behaviour in Synology.

 

Any help would be appreciated!! I just want my files back by replacing disks into Xpenology and trash my old DS214se

I understand what you are saying, could you try the package I mentioned and at least set the power off and power on times, and see if it both goes to sleep and then wakes up? That would help you to narrow down what setting could be the cause of the WOL issue.

I set my C states to C1E in BIOS and C6. Check your clock in BIOS and DSM to make sure they are on the same the same time. 

I can wake my device with both the package at any time and WOL using my Router to send the request.

Have you tried a Community package called Advanced Power Manager yet? I use it on my DS216+II and it does exactly what I want on a schedule. It powers down and everything is off, it wakes up all by itself with a task trigger, unlike the built in tool which gets stuck on wake.

I just recently built an XPEnology build on bare metal to test this package, and will report back if it functions for me.

Thanks for some of that feedback, fan noise is a big factor as well as power draw for me. Under Power Management Options>Advanced Power Management Options>I am disabling most of the C-states, leaving Intel QPI Link Power Management on for now, not sure what Collaborative Power Control does but leaving that as well. HP Power Regulator>set to OS Control Mode.

 

The only Services I have running are VMM (VM not running) and 1 SMB share on two HDD's. I was at 43w on DSM before any changes, 61w sitting in BIOS config menu, and 53w after applying these changes. iLO reports fan is sitting at 27% for me at "idle" on AHCI RAID and caching disabled.

I feel like C-States was doing something and I might be able to lower the power draw further, but I am not 100% sure if this kernel for 1.03b detects it?

Hello everyone this is going to be my first post on this forum. I did a search but could only find bits and pieces to help with my config, but can I get some users to chime in what are the best settings in BIOS to set for a Gen8? I am mostly curious about power draw, C-states, RAID ect.

Currently on AHCI using 1.03b DS3617xs DSM 6.2. Xeon E3-1265L V2 and 16gb RAM

Thanks!
