Email alert with HPE smart array s100i - Proliant ML110 Gen10

$

Hi, Is there any way to have email alerts with the smart array S100i controller ?

There's nothing in SSA, no GUI when HP Smart Array SAS/SATA Event Notification Service installed.

I just want to know when a drive failed, it's basic.

Gen 10 ????

$

Well I have finally been forced to look at Gen 10. I am in a regional area so I do not like to install "the latest" of anything as it nearly always has teething problems.

I have a lot of servers in remote loccations in SME roles. The usual config is a DL380 running ESXi and a small server running CentOS used as a NFS NAs to back up to.

I have been doing this for years an do "batch updates" where a generation of systems is replaced. It started with Gen 6, then 7 8, 8,2 and 9 for the DL380s iniutially running ESXi 5.1 then 5.5u3. The NAS boxes were ML110g6, g7 with P212 then Microserver Gen 8 & 8.2 with P222.
Things work great, I try to keep them all the same (there are over 100 of them) so I can hold my own spares etc.
All my Gen7s are gone, there are maybe 5 or 6 gen 8s to go. I have been testing ESXi 6.5 now with update 1 and was planning to start a rolling upgrade in 2nd qtr starting about November.
So here is Gen 10......
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is compatible.
I can't run ESXi 5.5 so I will have to install 6.5 at least 6mths to a year before I had planned.
The Microservers cannot run cached controllers and do not have ILO so are no better than a cheap chinese NAS at 10 times the price.
None of the HDDs can be moved in emergencies. Of course I can depend on HPe support which, if I am lucky, will respond in two or three days. 

So what do I do? If I have to completely trash all of my systems to allow me to remain self supporting should I look at other vendors? I chose HP because they seemd to understand that not everyone lives in a large city with a local engineering team but I suspect they have forgotten this.

In case it is not obvious I am rather pissed off with the direction that HPe is going.

 

PROLIANT DL185 G5 W/ P800 CONTROLLER WONT BOOT

$

I have an HP Proliant DL185 G5 Storage Server w/ p800 Controller. After booting it said battery 1 and 2 were bad and needed replacing. I removed the P800 and removed battery 1 (extremely swelled) and left battery 2 in place for now until replacements arrive. After reinstalling the P800 the system refuses to boot. 

After running the Offline ADU boot disc it says "No controllers detected". 

I have a solid Amber on LED 3 (Diagnostic error) and LED 4 (Drive Error)

None of my hard drives show any activity or health LED's either on the front panel, they are all dead.

Any advice? Is my p800 a dead stick and needs replacing?

Thanks in advance

When you explained about the controller in my case this is HP H240 ar but I do not have saved information in the logical drive 4,that is to say in my second array B.If my second array is an independent and different bay for example bay 2, how can I add this array B with the first array A?? or in the moment that I delete array B,I create it again and then I choose level RAID 1 in array B,
will create the array B the same logical drives that the array A in the same moment with RAID 1?

Another doubt is:
When I define the RAID level 1 which are the recommended values to have in account with:

Strip Size /Full Strip Size/Sectors/Track and Size?, I am looking for about this because i need to expose some ideas and then test it in two servers,thanks in advance

Does anyone know a compatable dual port Ethernet 10GBase-T card that I can use in my ML350 tower servers?

Also I am running VMware 5.5 ESXi on both servers so it would need to fit that compatability list as well.

I do not want SFP type cards. So I sure hope there is something available for copper.

Thanks to all

I'm not sure if that makes sense, google search didn't give me anything.

Is it possible to set a management IP on a HPE P440, P440ar or P441 Controller if a MSA is connected to the server?

ProLiant MicroServer Gen8- Hard Drives pass test but fail diagnostics

$

I've recently had three 4tb hard drives and 1 was recently replaced after a failure, they were in Raid 0.

Now I've got the repalcement hard drive and one more 4tb. This time however I want to put all 4 hard drives in raid 1+0. 

When I put the replacement in and the new hard drive, I deleted the old array, created a 1+0 array and I thought everything is fine.

One moment ii complains the status is 'Degraded(Ready for rebuild)' but it never recovers (nor it shouldnt be able to as my previous array was Raid 0, everything should have been lost).

The error I'm getting in Insight Diag is

F297: Local Dreive status is outstide of normal operating parameters. 

Is it possible there's still data on one or more of the hard drives and it's attempting to recover? I dont want it to rebuild, I'm happy to start from scratch.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm using several ProLiant DL360 Gen9 servers with iLO 4 v. 2.55

I tried to config the AlertMail feature and ran into a problem with the "from" address, the server is sending the mails with. Our mailserver only accepts mails with from addresses in the format "forename.name@ourdomain.com"

Is there a way to set the from address of the iLO manually instead of the "serverFQDN@domain.com"?!

Kind regards
