Common questions

Can WAZ Cooling Control return an R730xd chassis back to iDRAC automatic fan control?

Yes. Explicit return to iDRAC automatic control was confirmed on an R730xd running Unraid 7.3.3.

Is the Dell PowerVault MD1220 ready for everyday use?

No. It is included for testing, and real serial and RPM hardware validation is still requested.

Can each managed device use a separate fan curve?

Yes. The release provides independent Global or Individual curve choices per device.

What happens when managed hardware disappears?

It automatically hides unavailable hardware.

Can other fan-control scripts or plugins run while WAZ Cooling Control controls a shelf?

No. Docker containers, scripts, and other plugins that write to the same serial console must be stopped.

Do existing shelf settings survive an update from md12xx.fancontrol?

Yes. It preserves the md12xx.fancontrol update identity and existing shelf settings.
