Hi,

We have a server with 32GB of ram (4x8GB) placed as following:
 
12A --> 8GB 1Rx4 PC3L-1200R-11-12-C2  P/N: 731656-081
9B--> 8GB 1Rx4 PC3L-1200R-11-13-C2 P/N: 731656-081
1C--> 8GB 1Rx4 PC3L-1200R-11-12-C2 P/N: 731651-081

4D--> 8GB 1Rx4 PC3L-1200R-11-13-C2 P/N: 731656-081

We bought a RAM 8GB from amazon withe the HP recommandation and while following the manual and trying to add it to the server on the HP reommanded position (11E) between 12A and 9B and boot it, the ram on 12A and 9B dont get detected as well as the 11E.

The ram has a number 8GB 1Rx4 PC3L-1200R-11-13-C2 P/N: 731656-081, it work when we change one of the ram that has the same number 13.
 
We beleive that we have to buy one with 12 and add it. HP support didn't give any help sadly. any suggestion can be helpful

RHEL 6.8 on DL380 Gen 9

Looking for some advice regarding setting up RHEL on DL Gen 9.  My first attempt was successful at install but failed to boot.  This lead me to many a google result related to UEFI/Legacy BIOS mode, /boot, drivers for the p440ar Smart Array controller and a number of other possible causes.

Red Hat Premium support isn't doing anything but searching their knowledgebase and sending me links to those articles ( I've already done all that ).

Hopefully someone on these boards has successfully gotten RHEL to run on the DL380 Gen 9 and can describe their setup.

Thanks,

DL380p Gen8 (P420i) exit out of HBA mode

February 8, 2017, 2:17 pm

Hi there, we have been given a Gen8 DL380p to see if we can expand storage and install a windows o/s onto. The system is fully functional, HP drives are blank and everything tests OK using the bootable utilities ACU SSA V9.40 and Smart Start v8.70 from USB. The P420i is in HBA mode already from a previous role. We need to exit HBA mode and return to non HBA mode (guessing the default is RAID mode).

We have scoured the interweb for solutions - all of which go 'into' HBA mode, but none how to exit out of HBA.

[edit] The P420i firmware is v6.68. DL380p BIOS is P70.

Using the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (USER GUIDE) we have tried the SSA CLI references but 'hbamode' is not recognised in the ACU CLI interface. The GUI's do not show any array/controller configuration options (as per the manual) when accessed via either IP (F10) or the bootable USB SSA utilities.

We don't have access to the SPP and am unsure if there are any license keys associated with the unit. Hoping an LK was not used to get into HBA mode.

Is it possible to exit HBA mode and how?

Many thanks. Sam.

hi i have a HP Proliant with 2 500G SAS Disk configure in RAID 1, but i got recently an warning event (in the event viewer ) to warn me about a possible disk failure of one of those disk .

 

we got some spare 600 G SAS Disk compatible with this Server , but i would want to know if the Raid of this Hardware is still working between a 500G disk and a 600G disk ? even if my 600G isn't used to full Capacity .

Hard Drives not Recognized by Server

I recently tried repurposing two HP Proliant DL380 G6 servers.  I first "sanitized" the old 15k 146 GB SAS drives using the following commands:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda to randomize disk contents

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda to zero drive contents

I then replaced the original drives with HP 10k 300GB SAS drives.  I can't get the server to recognize the new drives.  It says no drives found on initial boot.  When I hit F8 to get to the Raid Controller setup it says no physical drives found. 

I tried reloading the firmware with the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD that originally came with the server but that didn't work.

If I put the old drives back in the server, it recognizes them and I can load an OS on them.

What am I missing?  What do I need to do to get the server to recognize the new drives?

Hello,

We have a ProLiant BL460c G7 server with Windows Server 2008 R2 OS, after install latest HP service pack ( 871790_001_spp-2016.10.0-SPP2016100.2016_1015.191) for drivers and firmware upgrades Netowrk Teaming stop working. Team consit of 2 x HP NC553i 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Converged Network Adapter. When NIC team was created, virtual adapter copletely loose connection or has a lot of drop packets. If team ceated from other adapters everything s ok. Without team HP NC553i 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Converged Network Adapter works fine without any issues. (more details in attachment)

I suppose that the problem could be in new versions of drivers and HPE Network Configuration Utility.

BR,

Hi

 

I have a ML350p G8 with a SFF and was looking to move to a LFF (just for home lab and get drives at larger capactity and stuff like that).

 

I've been looking for these two items without much luck so I could have the two cages for drives in the system

659485-B21 HP 5U 6LFF Hot-Plug Drive Cage Kit
661717-B21 HP 5U 6LFF Expander HDD Cage Kit

 

I have been trying to find some decent parts without any luck. Does anyone know if any of the other models of the ML350 LFF cage kits will work in the G8 ? 

 IF you know of any good parts places and can pass them along I'd apprecaite it

Thank you

Do I change a P410 array controller even if the testing says it might be ok???

Hello again all, I posted previously about possibly upgrading a P410/256 controller without  battery backed bbwc to one with a bbwc and I received no answer, so I'll try a different approach. I had a terrible failure that cost me a lot of time and some data. I ran tests as per instructions of an HP service rep.  The results showed that the controller was OK except no bbwc. My simple question is this even with the test results showing that the controller is OK would I be better off changing out the controller and adding a bbwc or just keep the old controller and adding bbwc to it. Please I need some advice on this matter.

Thank you in advance.

Loading Windows Server 2016 on Proliant UEFI

February 9, 2017, 1:43 pm

I finally gave in and called HP support. Here is the answer for those of you in a similar situation.

I have a Proliant ML110 that I need to install Server 2016 on. In this case, I am not using a Hypervisor. I was really tempted though.

The ISO for Windows server 2016 is too large to burn on a DVD.

Intelligent Provisioning only reads USB drives formatted with FAT32. You cannot write a file to FAT32 larger than 5GB. There is a file in the ISO larger than 5GB.

I could not for the life of me get a USB drive to boot while in UEFI mode. Yes, I followed the guide on HP's web site. Still, no dice. It will boot in legacy mode rather than UEFI, but then I have no hard drive array! The USB drive booted fine on an old desktop computer.

The solution involves using the iLO remote console. I had actually tried that before, but could NOT mount an ISO image because that requires an advanced license.

The HP tech had me install a license code for a 60-day trial of Advanced iLO. That let me mount an iSO from my PC and all is well. Now, the question going through my head is: what happens three years from now when I want to reload the OS for some reason? Will I be able to get another trial license?

Proliant Microserver Gen8 Warranty

Hi,

I am wanting my server updated with warranty (ProLiant Microserver Gen8). Technical Support said I need to buy a care pack, so I bought a care pack. The web site still says warranty status expired Jan 17, 2016 but I purchased a year’s support 4 days ago. I rang Technical Support again and they gave me an email address so I typed everything in again and sent it off. The bloke who answered it forwarded it on to someone else and no one replied.

I want the latest service pack for ProLiant so I can update everything off the CD (the server has VMWare 6.5).

How do I get hold of it? HP(E?) owe me 4 days and counting!

Need to extend RAID on ML350 G6

As the title states, I have two logical drives created in my raid array. One is 30gb and another is 500gb I believe. The person that configured the server only gave the C: partition 30gb, which is now causing us to run into a size problem. I need to extend that logical drive. I have some unused space in my RAID configuration, but I can't extend the C: drive. Supposedly l need a BBWC, but I'm honestly lost on exactly what I need. I don't want to waste time and money with ordering a part that's useless. I would attach an ADU report but I can't attach .zip files and the text is too long for pastebin. It's a Embedded Smart Array P410i

Thanks in advance!

HP DL380 / DL580 Array Controller Cache Statistics?

We have a variety of newer and older HP DL380 and DL580 servers.  We've procured most of these with a battery backed-up controller cache and have adjusted the read/write ratios as best as we can knowing the function of a particular server.

Does anyone know of any utilities that HP has available to inspect the cache statistics on local controllers (e.g., cache hits/misses) for the purpose of optimizing the cache ratios?

Thanks!

Modifying Drive in Array on ML 370

I typically work on our computers and only maintain our servers. I recently took one of our older servers which was out of production and loaded Windows Server 2012 R2 onto it without any issues but it installed two drives. The system drive is set at 30GB and the other drive is at 380 GB (This server has 8 72GB drives running RAID6). What I prefer on this server is one system drive using all the available space. I have downloaded the array configuration utility but not sure which options to utilize to eliminate the one 380 GB drive and apply it to the system drive. There is no data on this server so if I have to reload the operating software, that is not a problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Compatible Xeon CPUs for my 4x Proliant ML10 v2 servers

Dear all

First post - so apologies in advance if this 'cry for help' is in the wrong place, or has broken some sort of rule.... 

I'd like to upgrade my 4x HP micro servers to use one of these Xeon CPUs...
  • E3 1246 v3
  • E3 1265L v3
  • E3 1275 v3
  • E3 1276 v3
  • E3 1271 v3  (* no integrated GPU with this model CPU)

Is there any reason why any of these CPUs will not work in the ML10 v2?
If a CPU will not work, what is the reason why it would not work??

I have not been able to find a full and definitive 'white list' that tells me what is / is NOT compatible and suitable for the ML10 v2

Many thanks in advance for you help & support.
regards
Pete

HP Smart Array P401 drivers for Win12R2?

I bought a used Proliant server and want to put Win12R2 on it.   I see where Win12R2 requires you have new drivers, perhaps updated BIOS.  Where can I obtain these?  When I go to the HPE support site it says I have to have a support agreement.  I don't, as my hardware is out of warranty.  What are my options?  Can I just buy the drivers from some place on HP?

Thanks in advance )
