[DEVICE] SimpleRigResetter - Auto reboot crashed rigs - Extension Boards !!!

[tytanick]

Extension Board has rj45 socket.
So you use ethernet cable, but at the SRR end you will just need to cat rj45 connector off and use privided connector which is easy to make. Everything will be provided and in instruction.
Meaby even i will make some adapter to make this even easier.
Yeah that would be best idea.
On SRRvq there are two GREEN connectors which are just for Extension Boards.
You can plug two EB to those two connetrors.
The each EB also have slot for next EB and so on...
I will make this as easy as possible to clients that bought SRRv1 dont worry .

I posted in smOS thread, and doing the same in this SRR thread to thank Tytanick for his smOS and SRR.

Today is a big day for me because, just completed SRR for all my rigs, housekeeping of rom mods for all rigs, standardized all USBs/SSDs, upgraded my old hubs to gigabit switches, cleanup the network cabling, etc.....  for the past week nearly 100% uptime daily and full speed 45K sol/s total hash for ZEC (3.6GH ETH, 115Khs XMR) - thanks to SRR keeping each rig alive. 

I can say, my small farm is almost lights out operation now and I remotely manage the farm from home more often now. More time with family, more sleep time and working comfortably from home.

smOS and SRR are really a good combination and have generated me good income - hope we will see the best mining OS becoming even better with useful features to help miners be successful in mining. This is one of my best investment and ROI.

Also, would like to add a word of thanks to Eliovp for his amazing custom roms for my RX480s, R9-Nanos and Pandaminer.

I have 50 rigs all windows right now i would like to get SMOS working but for now i cant imagine the work it would take to rebuild each rig and put on SMOS kudos to you.

my main issue with windows and using the watchdog is when updates start installing keep alive would be far longer than the 3-4 mins and of course the box will go into a long loop thus i cant use the watchdog.

Right now all im using my SRR module for is replace power cables and so i can remotely turn on and off rigs etc.  I really need to figure out an easy way to get an easy image of SMOS to work on my custom rigs if i plan to purchase any more

SRR units.  Btw I really like them nice clean working easy to use pakage, just need to figoure out a good setup for windows 10 and those damable automatic updates you cant turn off

so far the updates are quite fast and I don't see any looping scenario - perhaps maybe I am using Optiminer v1.7 with full on ZEC mining now. Unlike Claymore, if you have set watchdog - I think no issues too because before migrating to smOS, I was on Claymore ETH mining with -wd and a few more tight settings for intensity etc. and when I do use Claymore ZEC with similar wd and intensity settings -- nothing out of the ordinary in smOS even during upgrades.

I would however suggest to use SSD or HDD for smOS. USB stick is OK but I just feel its faster on SSD especially. I recently upgraded my network environment to Gigabit too. I think that helped too because I do have other traffic too on the same network, ie. CCTV, several live nodes, STORJ instance etc.

My first week with smOS, I kept all my Windows SSDs labeled them for which rig blah blah blah...... 3 months with smOS - I basically zapped all the SSDs with smOS without hesitation and forgotten WIN10 and Win7 (well except for a small dev rig). I have only 33 rigs so I feel the big difference especially with central-management and stability. Also I get to run Linux specific miners like sgminer-gm and Optiminer.

I'm tapped out on power at my house so no more rigs for me , maybe if a rig dies or a PSU and i can afford to bring one rig down i can grab a fresh ssd and try that OS, i'm dumb , i never though of using a brand new fresh ssd and keeping the orginal SSD in case the install goes bad
maybe this weekend I might try it on a test rig.  Thanks

OK, first of all, turn off those stupid windows updates
They can only cause trouble than fixins something
So turn them off.
Second, in next Firmware release when SRRv2 and Extension Boards will come, there will be possibility to set longer period of watchdog timeout.
Right now its 255 Seconds and if in that time rigs wont send any keepallive packets then it will be restarted.
But after upgrade it will be 2550 seconds (x10) and this will be ideal for you, so for example you should set i dont know 10 or 20 minutes and only then watchdog will reboot windows.
Anyway, my SMOS (Simplemining Operating System) isnt ideal but people likes it. There is many more things to be done but it is usable as people are saying
Also if you didnt, do some undervolting, that way you will be able to plugin more rigs But you propably know that

UPDATE:
I have fresh batch odf SSRv1 and i will release then today/tomorrow in shop.
So keep updated I will also add more informations about SSRv2 and Extension boards to show people differences and to let poeple choose if they should wait for SSRv2 or buy SSRv1 right now.
The changes are cosmetic and its the same hardware. Only slots (connectors) changed and the rest stays the same becasue it it solid nice board

There is also firware development in progress but i will release it with SSRv2, and ofcourse it will work with SSRv1.

windows 10 does not allow you to turn off windows updates, i've tried everything from powershell and registry hacks etc , those fking things always get pushed through after a reboot or something
if not for the ease of adding as many as 8 gpus to windows 10 i would have given up on that OS.

@tytanick

-also those biostar boards that have that stupid bug where they only power on half way unless a monitor is plugged in, do those work with the resetter or does a monitor need to be plugged in or a dummy plug?
two of those are my problem rigs I was going to hook up with the resetter but i suspect they will do the normal thing as when headless, power on but wont go past the bios or whatever since no monitor is plugged in.
With those rigs when they go down i have to plug in a monitor and then reset , its anoying as fuck.

-20 or 30 min watchdog would be ideal

- and yes i do undervolt as much as i can of course all my cards are undervolted from -70 - -100 on the ones that can take it, core clocks turned down too. I  have 47 rigs now around 5.5 GHZ of eth and anther 40k of dcr so
i need each and every one of those rigs , i cant downsize my boxes.

My Asrock PRO BTC can start up in linux without any connected dummy plugs. You just need to make "default onboard graphics to internal" - this could also work in biostar i suppose

In April/May there will be firmware with new Extension Boards and SSRv2 which will allow to go up to 40 minutes. This firmware will work on SRRv1 as it is the same archirecture.

- undervolt works in my OS but you need to check it yourself becasue its not common undervolt Or if you have all gus with undervolt offset then it will work with no problem.

Just curious, what cards are you referring to here?

GPUs dont make difference. Or you asking something else ?

Hi Tytanick
                Would these work with a Pandaminer?

https://www.pandaminer.com/default/product_detail?id=5

Simple answer NO.

But I have asked them to consider putting the required pins for SRR to work.

Pandaminer has emailed me that their technical team will review the integration possibilities.

[bentcrypto]

Thanks for the info Citronick.
Hopefully they can implement it in later Pandaminers.

Just got my SRR yesterday and setting it up now. thanks!

[Marvell1]

I cant get the agent to run under windows 10 , keep getting a message saying a windows service must be first installed or something.

I also dont see that unblock option like you have in your diagrams

thanks

Hi,
Try running Tool with ADMIN PRIVILEGES, so right click on binary and "Run as administrator"
Also dont run from zipped archive, unzip first on disk and then run it.
If you still will have problems write on admin@simplemining.net - tell me your Tema Viewer login and pass so i could take a look.

Im using SRR for couple weeks now, device is great and saves me lot of time so thumbs up! There is one thing that could be even more helpfull - when rig hangs the SRR works flawless but sometimes if only miner hangs not whole rig it still recieves packets and aint restarting - solution could be checking if miner is sending packets on custom set port unless someone has better idea.

Yes SSR is only resetting when whole operating system will froze and stops sending network packages.
If miner froze then operating system is working so you could make some software for it.
Anyway if you are using claymore there is already this function
-wd 1 -r 1
and you need to have reboot script inside directory.
In my SMOS its working ofcourse without any problem Rig is restarting as soon as at least 1 GPU hangs.
But you need to use claymore and have -wd 1 -r 1 in parameters ofcourse.

I have a request about an issue I'm having. In the simple rig resetter tool, on my computers that are headless (without monitor or high res dummy plug) the resolution is too low to access the side of the program to set the parameters and save and install the auto restart stuff. I can't increase the resolution any higher than that default low one and I can't scroll to the side.

could you somehow make the program in windows scroll able so I can scroll to the side like in a browser?
