Hello all. Have a refurbed DL380 G6 that works great. Howver have Vsphere 5.5 installed and has been crashing lately, so tryng to reinstall fresh version of ESX 5.5

I use a USB flash drive to boot the OS image

System now cycles through with the error in the title.

Have tried numerous flash boot drives with valid bootable OS image

Have even tried a CD but same problem.

Any ideas how to get out of this loop?

RAID question

$
0
0

I have a Compaq ML530 system with a SmartArray 3200 controller and the following hot pluggable RAID configuration:

Array A:
2x9.1 gb RAID 1+0 (holds the OS)
Array B:
2x9.1 gb RAID 1+0
Array C:
3x18.2gb RAID 5 (holds data)
Five slots empty.

A disk failed on Array C. We're considering buying 3 new 36+ gb disks for a fourth array using RAID 5.

The question: Can we create the 4th array, move the data there from array C, then convert array C to Raid 1+0, or do we need to replace the 18.2 disk to fully recover array C before we can do anything with it?

how to diagnose if Internal health LED of proliant DL 380 G3 server is amber or red.

Thanks UWE!! You got the problem right.
But How to diagnose which component failed.For this I will have to open the access panel in order to see the internal LEDs on the system board and that too while the server is powered on.

Also, This problem happened after I inserted the HBA in the PCI slot by taking out the Riser cage and then put it back.May be the cage didnt set properly.After that I took out the HBA from the PCI slot, closed the panel and tried booting the server.But, it did not come up and that internal health LED was as before.

please guide me to solve the problem..

Hi Everyone, 

 

Thanks for looking at my post and I hope there is an answer to this ... I have a Proliant DL380 G5 that used to have a DC 3ghz processor .. I talked to HP Support and they told me it could be upgraded to a Dual Quad Core system .. So after getting the part numbers i went ahead and ordered everything, installed it and now it will not post, beep, or display anything .. 

 

I replaced the DC with a Matched pair Intel Xeon X5460, two vrm modules, and two new heatsinks .. so looking advice as to why it might not post now .. I have tried clearing the NVRAM with number 6 dip switch but still nothing .. 

 

Any advice ?? thanks ..

Smart Array p400 change disk position problem

$

0

I have here a DL380 G5 with a Smart Array p400 controller. This is a training system and somehow after swapping parts and playing with SAS cables, the original RAID1 in slots 1and 2 got moved to slots 1 and 6. Slot 6 is the 2nd slot in the 2nd bay

That means one drive has moved magically from bay1 to bay2, maybe a cabling error but thats not the problem.

 

I thought that adding a hot spare into slot2 and pulling the drive in slot6 would solve the problem. Data migration worked well but it turns out that a hot spare will stay a hot spare forever and the controller is waiting for a replacement of disk6.

 

Is there a way to change the configuration in a way that HotSpare2 becomes ArrayDisk2 and the old disk2 is removed?

 

I'd like to avoid setting up the server again...

Hot Plug vs Non Hot Plug drives

$

Greetings all. I have an ML330 I'm using in a test environment. It has no array controller or Compaq SCSI drives in it at the moment.

I'd like to add an inexpensive array controller and three drives. I was wondering if I can safely purchase hot-plug versions of a U320 or Ultra3 drive and remove it from the carrier using it as a non hot-plug?

Are there any critical differences between the Compaq hot plug and non hot-plug drives?
Thanks very much for any help.

6402 ultra320 controller upgrade

$

After trying in vain to work with MS on our Exchange 2000 performance problems, we have finally decided to throw hardware at the problem.

We have a Proliant DL380 with the integrated 5i RAID controller (ultra2, ultra3 only) with the Storageworks 4354R enclosure. The RAID controller is setup in a RAID 0 + 1 configuration. However, the disks are ultra320 disks, so we decided to upgrade the controller to the 6402 (supports ultra320) and also upgrade the I/O module on the Storageworks to get it to ultra320 speeds.

The upgrade of the I/O module in the Storageworks 4354R is a piece of cake and so is adding the new SCSI card. However, I am a little worried that the new SCSI card will not recognize the RAID configuration. Has any of you done this? I am running Windows 2000 server. Also, do I just add the 6402 driver to Windows 2000 before I shutdown and add the new SCSI card? I know I need to change the boot order but since no drives will be attached to the 5i, that should not be a problem.

Thanks.

Hello,

Our DL 160 Gen6 server has begun in the last two weeks to shut down randomly by itself.
The next error appears in the event log: VRD_FAIL_LED State Asserted Assertion

We have replaced the PSU Module but problem still occurs.

Any idea what might cause the server to shut down ?

Thank you.

Populating DL 380p Gen8 Server memory

Dear All,

 

We have HP DL 380p gen8 server with two processors, each processor is having 12 slots. Processor is CPU E5-2650. Memory total installed is 64GB and each processor is having 4 slots filled. All installed DIMM are 8GB.

 

I was thinking to buy more total 8GB*6 DIMMS, so each processor will get 3, and total memory will be 112 GB but before making order for buying memory I want to know if it is possible to install 3*8GB DIMM in a processor or should be 4  ?

 

Please share your experience. Please take a look at existing memory configuration through ILO

 

thanks in advance for help.

 

Regards,
Wajeeh

Configuring "Authentication Failures Before Delay" feature via hponcfg

$

ILO4 firmware 2.22 introduces a setting whereby the failed-password login delay can be tuned.   Unfortunately, I see no means of configuring it in the ILO's RIBCL dump or in the ILO CLI's /map1 area  (although it can be set via the web GUI).

 

Does anyone know of a way that it can be set via hponcfg (or failing that, the ILO command line)?   GUIs are nice for one-offs but they do not scale well.

HP DL380 G8 Intelligent Provisioning unable to connect to update server

Hello,

 

I'm trying to run the firmware updates on a DL380 Gen8 server using the Intelligent Provisioning. I have confirmed that the NIC is configured and working. When I click on the firmware option I get a message that the update server cannot be contacted. I have tried this on 3 different servers all the same model. I have updated the Intelligent Provisioning to 1.62b but still receive the same error message.

 

2 weeks ago I was able to perform the update process on a DL380 G8 without issue. I tested the update process on that same server last week and this week and now I receive the error message cannot connect to update server.

 

Does anyone know if the Software Update Server URL has changed with HP splitting up home and enterprise devices? I did run across many links that redirected me to hpe.com domain.

 

Thank you

hi, today i've recived a warning  in my DL580 G7:

284 300 GB SAS HDD at Port 1I : Box 1 : Bay 4 : A firmware update is recommended for this physical drive. Model: HP EG0300FBDBR "

i think i have found the  right firmware https://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_0c2b907e7b934ca0a935196c26&lang=ru&cc=ru&hpappid=hppecf#tab3

but  i don't  know how to update it right for winserv2012.

here, it says to use HP SUM from SPP, but i cant find disered foldes in my SPP ( 9.10 ). In the other topics people advise to use FW CD, but i have no idea where can i get this one for DL580 G7.

Can you give me any advices about hdd firmware update?
