There is one that is optimized for Amahi Energy Saver. It will for instance display server AES notifications.

Hi wobbly,

what kind of PCI card is it? What type of motherboard?

Does it work with any other kind of WOL tool?

Did you set the BIOS so that the machine wakes up on PCI events?

Last not least, when you suspend you machine, does the NIC have power?

Cheers

Hey guys,

I've managed to install AES, set up hosts, set up calendar............but unfortunately, I'm not quite sure how to test it.

I've installed the AES Windows client, it finds the HDA, inputs MAC address etc etc etc............yet, when I go to click "server power save now".......it does diddly squat.

I have 64bit amahi on an HP N40L.

Hi modem7,

this message tells you that an active calendar task is preventing your HDA from power off:

Please double check your calendar to make sure that no task is currently active.

For further troubleshooting please send the full log.

Ah awesome, I'll check it out this evening.

I was under the (assumed) impression that if you clicked on that button, the AMS would ignore all other values and shutdown/standby.

I'll give it a go and post my logs if I don't get the results that I need.

Thank you!

Well, actually the only thing that is ignored is whether clients are on - for the other items I think that it is better not to ignore them, for instance to address the situation where a user wants to shut down the server and isn't aware that something else is running.

Maybe another config item for future versions....

Nope, that's a perfectly good idea.

Tried it again after deleting the calendar appointments, shutdown works, but not standby (again, that's in the FAQ that it hasn't been fully tested, so I'm not too worried about that).

Thanks once again guys! Great community as always!

Have also used the scripts that you guys have developed so that it doesn't shutdown when greyhole is doing something etc.

Hey guys,

How does one reset current values of the power usage/saved chart?

Also, is the usage in kwH? (under the 75/5 bit)?

Many thanks!

Hello modem7,
How does one reset current values of the power usage/saved chart?
Run this command in a root console:

Code: Select all

rm /usr/share/aes/energy-logger.yml
This will delete the recorded history.

Then click "Apply" to restart the service.
Also, is the usage in kwH? (under the 75/5 bit)?
Do you mean in the Settings section at the bottom of the config page? That's power consumption in Watts [W].

Cheers,
jayrock
