Supermicro Drive Indicator LEDs?

[danb35]

Still running into this issue here, haven't been able to figure out. Any ideas?

Looks like the zpool binary is now at /usr/local/sbin/zpool.

Isn't the high RAM usage on Core intentional though?

Yes, it is.

I thought it did not affect things.

It doesn't hurt things. It means the system is using all available RAM (mostly for caching in a properly-resourced system). Under SCALE, I understand as a result of how Linux manages memory (though I admit I'm not super-clear on that), the system doesn't use all available RAM; a significant amount is wasted.

I had one person I know, switch to Scale, and he said while he was on Scale, there was an update that was pushed to update the containers. But they were not simply "update-able", but needed to be destroyed.

That sounds like the TrueCharts breaking change I mentioned.

It's just an in place update, correct?

It can be. I removed the old boot SSD and put in a new one, installed SCALE to that, and uploaded my saved config file. Reverting, had it been necessary (and it was the first time I tried to move to SCALE), would just be a matter of putting in the old SSD again.

I checked and I do see the zpool there.
I went and edited this line, and saved, and tried running the script, and in my e-mail I just get a massive "grep help" output.

Yeah, I was under the assumption that this (using all available ram when possible) was better for how ZFS works. But I could be wrong.

Oops, I must've glossed over that.

Same here. I thought this script would be a wonderful addition to my NAS but the grep logic does not seem to work anymore. I see no easy way of fixing this myself.

Glad I'm not the only one, but that is also a shame.

These resources are all volunteer work; sometimes contributors just move on, and we cannot blame them for this. However, @danb35 is still around and perhaps he is willing to take a look at the script. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Of course, that is the nature of it. I am of course not being unappreciative for the work that was put in, just stating it is a bit unfortunate we currently cannot get it to work.

@danb35 not to be a bother or revive a semi old thread is there any updates on this? or are you running this on scale?
I'm in the process of moving a lot of drive from a raid/windows server to Truenas and my only complaint as of now is not having error indicators on the drives as they work with all my regular raid cards

The biggest problem with this is that I never really did understand how it worked--I found some logic that I was able to bang into a script, but it was kind of a black box to me. So when it stopped working, I didn't understand what it was doing well enough to fix it. I started more-or-less fresh for SCALE and do have a version for that that seems to work:

Disk failure LEDs for TrueNAS SCALE

WARNING: Pre-release, immature code. Please test, but don't trust. I put together a script this afternoon to light up the disk failure LEDs on a compatible SAS backplane when a disk is faulted, offline, or otherwise in an error status. It...

I think the same basic logic could work with CORE, but some of the specifics would need to be different.

super excited about this... I don't have Supermicro enclosures mine are Chenbro. After I figure out how to run special scrips ill let you know if mine works
