[OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

[voltsifer]

ASUS PRIME Z270-P has 6xPCIe slots. So I use 2 x PCIe -> 2 PCIe splitters.

SuperMicro X10SRL-F has 7xPCIe slots. So I use 3 x PCIe -> 2 PCIe splitters.

I thought so; what ports are the splitters attached to; both on the mobos and on the splitter boards themselves.

I want to try to predict all possible indexes when a splitter is used in any port.

I've already tried to change PCIe indexes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (Section "Device") in accordance with to lspci, but did not see any changes.
Maybe I did something not right... 

Not sure, things get a little weird after 7 GPUs.  I want to support up to 14 GPUs to be ready for the new asrock mobo; so I will work on this for next version.

I found resolutions of this problem:
nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus --allow-empty-initial-configuration --cool-bits=31

Great job!



Do you have any idea what this issue might be? Everything was fine, I was able to set OC values. The OC values persist, but I'm unable to update the OC values. A part of the reason has to be this.

Please let me know.

If you following the steps in this guide do you still have this problem?

My Nvidia rig are running amazingly with nvOC! Thank you so much

Do you have any ETA for OC and power limit for AMD card?

On an other topic, I'm trying to identify each port number on my motherboard. Is there a way to manually force 1 fan to spin up fast?
Like I want to run GPU3 fan 100% (and all others at 20%) to locate it, is there a way to force it under Ubuntu when the rig is running?

Thanks!

On the AMD beta version you can enter these manual cmds into the guake terminal to change settings:

fanspeed:

Code:

'/home/m1/ROC-smi-master/rocm-smi' --setfan 200

peformance level:

Code:

'/home/m1/ROC-smi-master/rocm-smi' --setperflevel high

coreclock level:

Code:

'/home/m1/ROC-smi-master/rocm-smi' --setsclk 7

memclock level:

Code:

'/home/m1/ROC-smi-master/rocm-smi' --setmclk 1

Good to know: I will test and most likely change this for next version.

I'm quite a noob in Linux:
I launch a new terminal window and I write the fan command?
How to specify what fan GPU?

Thanks again

My bad I should have mentioned:

Press f12 on your keyboard to open the guake terminal.

Hi fullzero,

Back to ethpool, dwarfpool settings:

in onebash file - can I change ETH section from:

ETHERminedotORG="NO"
ETH_WORKER="nvoc"
ETH_ADDRESS="0x.....blah..blah..blah"
ETH_POOL="eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999"

to

ETHERminedotORG="NO"
ETH_WORKER="citronick -esm 1 -dbg -1 -wd 1 -r 1 "
ETH_ADDRESS="0x.....blah..blah..blah"
ETH_POOL="stratum+tcp://asia1.ethpool.org:3333"

Perhaps, you may consider to add ETH_ESM and the other key Claymore keyswicthes or alternatively include a ETH_EXTENTION to append any other Claymore stuff. Hopefully the failover pool features too soon.

All of my 1070s are still all Windows and smOS Nvidia Alpha v1, and would like to migrate all of them to nvOC ETH dwarfpool (-esm 0) or ethpool with esm settings.

While all my 1080tis are already on ZEC nvOC with very good results using EWBF.

Thanks

To add those commands just scroll down to the bottom of the onebash and add them to the claymores command line settings 

hmmm... I finally see the light!

Fullzero pointed me to that part too... got a syntax error but after looking them again in a bigger screen (LOL) ... I think I finally got it - will revert later.

I will had more customization options for Claymore in the next version based on your request.

excellent - thanks again fullzero!

any ETA on the next release?

Just made some changes to oneBash to test out if Lyra2v2 can be mined.  It works.

Code:

COIN="LYRA2V2"

Code:

LYRA2V2_WORKER="nvOC"
LYRA2V2_ADDRESS="bitcoin.wallet.address"
LYRA2V2_POOL="stratum+tcp://lyra2v2.mine.zpool.ca:4533"

Implementation section.

Code:

if [ $COIN == "LYRA2V2" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/SPccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$LYRA2V2_ADDRESS.$LYRA2V2_WORKER"

until $HCD -a lyra2v2 -o $LYRA2V2_POOL -u $ADDR -p x
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

  This is currently working with the SPccminer within the nvOC.  Although I hope to see CCminer2.0 implemented soon.  Or is there a way to insert our own miner software such as Alexis78?

it's a different version.

Hey,

Having all sorts of problems getting 6 cards running on Z270-AR, just get "internal driver error" in the one bash output then it spits a load of too many arguments statements.

I've re-imaged fresh and confirmed the MD5.

I've done the standard from BIOS including the latest flash, 4g decoding, non ptp aware and clear boot keys, no joy is there a different image for this one based on the Z270-A or are we all standard now?

Any ideas?

Thanks again great work love the project.

Are you connecting the monitor to the motherboard?

If you are change it to the primary GPU (the first 16x pcie slot closest to the CPU)

and follow the process on this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg19449945#msg19449945

Thanks for the reply, finally sorted this after many tests, lane speed needed to be adjusted to PCIe 2.0 to get this to run 7 cards at proper hash. See how i go when the m2 adapters arrive, up to 10 rigs now

for motherboard that have Z170 chipset, you can use that image

Ok thanks, i'll try this today

[keepitsane]

Quick question what other motherboards are confirmed to work with 7 gpus, because I keep having problems with the Asus Prime Z270-A.What boards are you using and how many GPUs?

[CarlOrff]

Can you please remember me the command to make the raw image copy with ubuntu ?
Thank you.

Hey fullzero,

I have encountered an issue when trying to run oneBash:

Tomorrow I will start working on this full time; so it should be soon.
I want to make as many of the requested changes as possible for the next version; should be by Wednesday the latest: I'm going to try for sometime on Tuesday.

I will add this "LYRA" config to the next version.

Alexis78 is on v0015; to use it instead of the SP fork, replace this line:

Code:

HCD='/home/m1/SPccminer/ccminer'

with:

Code:

HCD='/home/m1/ASccminer/ccminer'

to use the tpruvot fork change it to:

Code:

HCD='/home/m1/TPccminer/ccminer'

You can also add any client you want yourself.

If you send me a link to any desired client I will add it for the next version. 

Also include what pool and coin you plan on mining with the client.
