F&H client 7.5.1 on MS free Hyper-V 2019

Hi all,

i've built a small server (intel xeon 4core) to run as another F&H client, this machine runs MS free Hyper-V 2019 as OS
which has the windows kernel, so it can run win32/64 desktop apps.

F&H 7.5.1 install correctly, the process FAHCLIENT.EXE seems to run correctly

how can i be sure that fahclient is downloading WU and proccesing them?

i see in the FAHCLIENT window WU00:FS00:0xa7:completed 100000 out of 2500000 steps (4%) etc.. etc..
but i also see a lof of:

WARNING:WU01:FS01:WorkServer connection failed on port 8080 trying 80...
ERROR:WU01:FS01:Excpetion: Failed to connect to 192.0.2.1:80: etc...

thanks

massimo

If you post the first 200 lines of the log and a sample of the errors someone may be able to help … Without that my speculation that there might be a GPU slot with configuration a bit iffy or hardware not up to the task is simple idle speculation on my part :) … For posting log see: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26036

Did you install FAHControl on the server?

That's an indication that your system is processing a WU.

That's the indication of the significant demand for WUs from the F@H infrastructure. Summary -> viewtopic.php?f=24&t=33193

In short, I should say that from the log snippets provided, your system is functioning as normal. However, if you would like, you can post the configuration portion of your log for us to examine :)

This message however indicates you have some device configured, probably a GPU that is not supported for folding. That can be removed or paused once identified.

thanks a lot, it seems to work well
i tried Hyperv-V instead of classic W10 since HV has no GUI and a small number of running processes and services
so more cpu power is dedicated to folding the WUs and also since HV is completely free

i guess, since this SuperMicro server mother board has an old ATI embedded video chipset (ES1000 afaik..)
the CPU instead is a Xeon 4 core 2,66 Ghz, not so much, but i've this one ;)
(i also run F&H on other 2 PCs more powerful)

how can i disable the GPU (FS01 i guess) from the command line FAHClient.exe?

thanks
bye

Look in the config.xml and remove any slots except for the base CPU slot, like this

Code: Select all

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
