# This is a modified version of the Supermicro PID Logic Fan Script from https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/fan-scripts-for-supermicro-boards-using-pid-logic.24/
# and is designed to run on Supermicro X9 boards using an Nuvoton WPCM450 BMC.
#
# IPMI raw commands are gathered from https://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/faq.cfm?faq=15634
# and https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/8fhomj/getting_those_supermicro_x9_motherboard_fans/
#
# Attention: When i modified this script, i had already configured full fan mode via ipmi web interface.
# Therefore this script may not enable full fan mode. Please enable it manually, otherwise the ipmi
# fancontrol will interfere with this script.
#
# Attention: This script is designed to run in a VM and therefore accesses ipmi over the network
# Please add your ipmi login credentials in the line beginning with "IPMITOOL=" or change it
# to the standard hardware access mode.
# spinpid2.sh for dual fan zones.
VERSION="2020-05-37"

# For SuperMicro motherboards with dual fan zones.
# Adjusts fans based on drive and CPU temperatures.
# Includes disks on motherboard and on HBA.
# Mean drive temp is maintained at a setpoint using a PID algorithm.
# CPU temp need not and cannot be maintained at a setpoint,
# so PID is not used; instead fan duty cycle is simply
# increased with temp using reference and scale settings.
# Drives are checked and fans adjusted on a set interval, such as 5 minutes.
# Logging is done at that point. CPU temps can spike much faster,
# so are checked and logged at a shorter interval, such as 1-15 seconds.
# CPUs with high TDP probably require short intervals.
# Logs:
# - Disk status (* spinning or _ standby)
# - Disk temperature (Celsius) if spinning
# - Max and mean disk temperature
# - Temperature error and PID variables
# - CPU temperature
# - RPM for FANA and FAN1-4 before new duty cycles
# - Fan mode
# - New fan duty cycle in each zone
# - In CPU log:
# - RPM of the first fan in CPU zone (FANA or FAN1
# - CPU temperature
# - new CPU duty cycle
# Relation between percent duty cycle, hex value of that number,
# and RPMs for my fans. RPM will vary among fans, is not
# precisely related to duty cycle, and does not matter to the script.
# It is merely reported.
#
# Hint: this table is wrong, duty cycles 0-100 are sent as 0-255 to IPMI
#
# Percent Hex RPM
# 10 A 300
# 20 14 400
# 30 1E 500
# 40 28 600/700
# 50 32 800
# 60 3C 900
# 70 46 1000/1100
# 80 50 1100/1200
# 90 5A 1200/1300
# 100 64 1300
# Because some Supermicro boards report incorrect duty cycle,
# you have the option of not reading that, assuming it is what we set.
# Tuning suggestions
# PID tuning advice on the internet generally does not work well in this application.
# First run the script spincheck.sh and get familiar with your temperature and fan variations without any intervention.
# Choose a setpoint that is an actual observed Tmean, given the number of drives you have. It should be the Tmean associated with the Tmax that you want.
# Set Ki=0 and leave it there. You probably will never need it.
# Start with Kp low. Use a value that results in a rounded correction=1 when error is the lowest value you observe other than 0 (i.e., when ERRc is minimal, Kp ~= 1 / ERRc)
# Set Kd at about Kp*10
# Get Tmean within ~0.3 degree of SP before starting script.
# Start script and run for a few hours or so. If Tmean oscillates (best to graph it), you probably need to reduce Kd. If no oscillation but response is too slow, raise Kd.
# Stop script and get Tmean at least 1 C off SP. Restart. If there is overshoot and it goes through some cycles, you may need to reduce Kd.
# If you have problems, examine PK and PD in the log and see which is messing you up. If all else fails you can try Ki. If you use Ki, make it small, ~ 0.1 or less.
# Uses joeschmuck's smartctl method for drive status (returns 0 if spinning, 2 in standby)
