Emulex 10GB Flex Fabric Fails AFter Firmware Update
I recently upgraded the firmware of the Emulex 10GB NC553i FlexFabric controllers in my BL620c G7 blade from a firmware revision of ~ 4.5.X to the latest of 10.5.X and now it just loops on initializing the controller ultimately failing. It just shows Xs during the boot cycle. It was working fine prior to the update and now...nothing. Can anyone advise how to recover from this? Downgrade etc? Please help!

Disk monitoring/alerting without SIM for a DL180 Gen9?
Hi,
We have a Proliant DL180 Gen9 server configured with Server 2012 R2 as a DC. This is currently the only server in a small business, although this may change in the future. We need some kind of disk monitoring/alerting - I have looked at installing System Insight Manager, but HP do not support SIM on a DC.
I'm open to suggestions? I cannot believe HP don't have some kind of solution for small businesses that run single servers as DCs!
Thank you
Tony

ProLiant ML350 G6 RAID 5 Drive Lights
The ProLiant ML350 G6 Window's 2008 R2 server has three 450 GB SAS drives in a RAID 5 array configuration.
The first and third drive a flashing both the green light and the amber lights. According to the HP Component identication document tells me: "The drive is active, but a predictive failure aleart has been received for this drive. Replace the drive as soon as possible."
I ordered two replacement drives with the same part number and on Saturday, 11/21, I replaced drive 3 (hot swap), and after looking at various error logs I let it to rebuild. Today, (Monday 11/23), it is again showing the same indication for drives one and three!
When I go into HP Insight Diagnostics and run the Hardware Diagnosis for the Logical Drive it is showing Hard Drive 1: "Failed Error: F149: The controller has reported a S.M.A.R.T. error on this drive." Hard Drive 2: "Passed", and Hard Drive 3 shows the same failed information as the first drive. Oh by the way, I did identify each drive with the "Start Drive Identity LED" so I replaced the right drive.
Is this still giving me the error because drive 1 hasn't been replaced yet? I would have thought the error on drive 3 would have went away when I replaced it with a new hard drive? I need your advice on what I should do next?
Thanks! Stan

New to SB servers.
Never set up a server or worked with Linux before, pretty competent with computers and can handle the learning curve. A small business application to store payroll records and CadCam/3D Modeling files to be accessed from a remote workstation, modified, and saved. Just to get started for now this is what I am thinking of buying and installing Ubuntu Server LTS:
HP ProLiant 4U Micro Tower Server - 1 x Intel Xeon E3-1220V3 3.10 GHz 724977-S01
It will run from my home with a consistent 85 - 110+ MBPS standard residential hardwired modem. I realize this is a minimalist approach for now but does anybody see any major flaws with my line of thinking? Security is a must so VPN, which I believe is included with the Ubuntu package, for a total of four to six users will be implemented. Planning on 2 Samsung 850 Pro 256GB Sata III SSDs, one for OS, one for daily backups plus an external HD as a second backup. My understanding is not much ram is required for server applications and I see this server listed as 2GB ram but in a questions section someone replied it came with 4GB ram.
Thank you.

DL360 G7 versus X5687
I have a DL360 G7 which has the most recent BIOS on it (P68 08/16/2015). I looked at the guides and the X5687 CPU is listed as a supported one. I installed an X5687 CPU to replace the E5520, but the server does not boot or show the BIOS screen. It sounds like it is making a clicking noise as it the key on a keyboard were stuck. Do I need to change some BIOS options to make it recognize this CPU?

Ubunbu with HP Proliant ML150 Gen 9
Hi HP community,
We have a HP Proliant ML150 Gen 9 server with B140i DSA RAID controller and we are attempting to install Ubuntu 14.04.2. Have USB key with hpdsa driver injection image. (we also tried CD image installation and iLo installation)
Installation runs to completion but on reboot even though 'ubuntu' is listed as a boot option it fails to boot. We have followed the instructions on installing the DSA driver here:

with no success.
Thank you for any help.

Proliant ML350 G5 power on problem
Product Name: Proliant ML350 G5
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Hello!
I have a problem with Proliant ML350 G5 (single Xeon CPU). When i try to turn it on by pressing power button (PSU fans started to spin) there are 2 red lights (internal health and external health) on front panel and 1 amber LED inside, meaning PPM2 problem. Tried to turn on without CPU or/and RAM - the situations doesn't changed (there is no any additional signal/beep/led/etc).
The main question is - What is PPM2 and is there any solution to read data from raid device (E200i controller, 4 SAS drives, RAID 10).
PS Power supply was changed about 3 years ago, previous one has "dead". Normally, power connected via 800W UPS, also tried to connect directly.
Thank you.
Alex.

ML10v2 (G3240) Boot Failure - System Temp Critical?
Hello,
I received an ML10v2 today. I haven't installed any HDDs yet but have installed a SATA optical drive which is connected directly to the m-board.
The server doesn't boot and doesn't produce a video output, iLO shows critical system health - 'Critical Temperature Threshold Exceeded' which it most definantly is not. Looks like a faulty temp sensor.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Fred.

Unable to power on SL2x170z G6 servers
Hello
I recently took over the management of multiple SL2x170z G6 servers and I am facing a problem when I try to power on some of these servers. While running with Linux (Scientific Linux 6.7), a server node suddenly went down. The light of the power button became solid amber. I tried to power on by pushing the power button but it does not respond at all. The light stays amber and the server node does not start up.
Another server node on the same SL2x170z server tray is working normally and another server tray in the same 2U chassis is working normally. I can access Lights Out-100 (LO100) via the web interface, ssh CLI, or IPMI but it does not have any System Event Log related to this. LO100 shows the “System Status” is “Normal” and the “Power Status” is OFF. I can change the “Power Status” to ON by the LO100 commands but the system itself is still OFF. The monitoring sensor values of the working nodes on the same tray or the same 2U chassis are within the normal conditions.
I plugged off the power codes from a 2U chassis and plugged in after 15 minutes but it did not change the situation. I guess it is due to some problem on the system board and I will give up if it happens on only a few nodes. However, the number of servers which have the same trouble is increasing in a short period. I lost 15 nodes out of 76 nodes (38 trays in 19 chassis) I have in last 8 days. I would appreciate if you have any suggestions to figure out the problem.
The system had been working for 5 years. After about one-month shutdown (power off) period, I just started reusing it with newly-installed OS. Warranty and support contract have been already expired but I want to keep as many nodes as possible because it is still very useful and powerful machine for me.

ProLiant DL380p G8 SAS drive compatibality
Hey Community,
I would like to change Storage of HP ProLiant DL380p G8 from 1TB to 4TB and would ask if anyone knows, if the HP 695510-B21 are also compatible. At the moment, we are using 653954 2,5" 1TB SAS drives and I'm a bit confused, because 695510-B21 are already 3,5" drives.
I have not so much experience with upgrading HP Server, so I only want to be sure.
Thanks for our help.

Adding SFF expander option(s) to ML350P GEN8
We have an HP ML350pT08 E5-2650v2 SFF, # 736968-001. We had original purchased the server with one expander, 661714-B21 for a total of 12 drives. We are needing to add another set of drives and have purchased an additional 661714-B21 and I cannot figure out the cabling. Looking at the diagram included with kit, I'm confused. We have the SAS controller with 2G FBWC of memory so I understand we can support 18 drives total on one controller. I just can't figure the cabling. We have one server and now two (2) 661714-B21 expander kits. Any assistance on the cabling?

Addin one singel SATA HDD to existing server
Hallo everybody,
i don't know if i'm in the right forum but i have a big Problem with a server of ours.
We have a HP Proliant DL120 G6 Server with an Smart Array B110i.
Installed are 2 250GB Drives wich are running perfectely in a Raid 1.
Now the problem is, that we have to add one singel 2 TB Sata HDD for Storage and so on.
Until now i failed. The Harddrive is recognised in the Array and i can make a raid 0 out of it. In the Computer Management i can see it but cant initialize it. (red small error down)
The OS is an Windows Server 2012 Core.
Thanks for the help in advance and sorry for the bad english (not my nativ language)

Identifying 512545-B21 72GB 15K 6G SAS Drives
For some bizarre reason, HP is not marking it's 2.5 inch 72GB 15K 6G SAS drives, marketing part number 512545-B21. with the actual master part number 512545-B21. I am sorting through old drives here that are marked with at least five different spare numbers, and I have no master reference that establishes which of these correspond to 512545-B21.
Does anyone have authoritative documentation about all spare numbers that correspond to 512545-B21?
Is it safe to mix different spares that are both members of 512545-B21 together into a RAID array? I normally try to keep RAID arrays with the same manufacturer drive, but it looks like HP is using many different drive manufacturers for the 512545-B21 part.

DL380 G6 P410 RAID 5 Array Failure
I have a DL380 G6 server with an expansion drive bay. I had programmed the first two drives in Box1 in a RAID 1 for the OS and several of the other drives in Box 1 and Box 2 to be a seaparate RAID 5 array. This was working for several months. This past week, the system reported that the drive in Box 2, Bay 4 was bad or missing. More importantly, the system reported that the RAID 5 array had failed and Logical Drive 2 cannot be used. This logical drive no longer appeared in the OS as an available drive.
To correct the issue, I simply deleted the 2nd Logical Drive, removed the bad hard drive and created the Array again. I do have one issue which is that when I put in a replacement drive part number 507129-003 as a replacement for the failed drive, it is not recognized in any slot and shows an amber light on the drive after a period of time. Can anyone tell me if 507129-003 is a valid 300 GB drive for this server?
Question..what would cause a RAID 5 array that loses one drive to cause the entire Logical Drive to fail?
Thanks,
Brett

DL580 G5 Will not POST
I got a request at a server issue resolution and so far not getting too far.
The Server has 4 1200W PSUs, 4 CPUs and memory (1GB each slot all across). The CPU memory board has been taken out and placed into another working server and works but will not work while in the desired setup.
You plug it in and it does its initializing thing, Spits out a few codes then goes to 00. During this the power button is orange then it goes off. After I should be able to turn it on but it will not turn on. A previous tech apparently tested the CPU memory board, and the PSUs and claim they are good. At boot only issues showing (on the SID) are with the 6 fans. Power button does nothing while the display says everyting internal and external are fine (green light)
I myself have striped it down to 1 processor and its memory bank with 4gb just to be sure and only get the same thing.
The issue has to be somewhere towards the back (i.e. i/o board, SPI board, PSU backplane, PSUs.) and so has anyone run into anyting like this before on this server????
Oh I also noticed the SPI Board is blinking green towards the top near the Raid cache. I can't find any info on the SPI board like a manual or something in order to see if that is normal or not.

iLO certifcate Subject Alternative Name no longer generated
Hello,
In the past when I generated a CSR from an iLO, it would include the HOSTNAME as a subject alternative name for the certificate (non-FQDN format). So if my server is SERVERX and my domain is MYDOMAIN.COM, it would generate a CSR with these names:
serverx.mydomain.com
serverx
Howerver, this is no longer the case. Being the lazy admin that I am , I usually just connect to the iLO via the hostname instead of the FQDN. In the past, this was fine since the hostname was in the Subject Alternative Name - but this is now broken and I get a CERT error when I connect not using the FQDN.
Did something change with the ILO firmware that makes is so this is no longer being generated? I am using an iLO 4 with 2.22 and 2.20 (ProLiant Gen9) - I have not tried the lasted firmware yet (which I think is 2.30). I am pretty sure nothing changed with our CA - but I am not a expert in this area, so I really dont know for sure. I am using the template I have used for years from our CA.
Thanks
NK
