Sponsor Our Lab? - High Fan Speed Due to Third Party Drives

Dear HPE,

Would you be able to sponsor our server lab? We would really appreciate some hardware that we can run a trial of vSAN on. We were planning on utilizing some DL360p Gen8 servers we have off warranty and collecting dust. Unfortunately due to your firmware logic, the temperature reporting from some economical Seagate drives we have installed cause the fans to run at near 100%. (http://dascomputerconsultants.com/HPCompaqServerDrives.htm)

All we need is sixteen 2 TB Gen8 compatible small form factor (2.5") drives.

Thanks for you consideration and assisting us with keeping usable equipment out of landfills, enabling evaluation and education at a reasonable expense, and embracing flexible, open hardware.

Sincerely,

Tim

Hello,

We have 3 ProLiant DL360 G7 with MDS600 Drive arrays.

Every 2-3 months, one of these servers don't see the half of the drive array.

This occurs always during database mainternance of these Exchange servers, at night (high disk IO load)

Our provider replace the IO module. Everything is OK but the issue starts again, on another server 2-3 months later

Can i do something?

Thank you

Problems with ML110 G9 fans

May 21, 2018, 12:58 pm

Hello good afternoon.

I recently added a P440 hardware controller to the ML110 G9, and I also purchased the fan kit for the PCI.

Previously, when I was using only the integrated controller with two 120GB disks in RAID1 and four 6TB disks in RAID5 the fans were completely quiet, the percentage that marked iLO was constantly 6%.

Now, with the hardware update (I've also updated all the software with the SPP) and the fan kit, every 5 or 10 minutes (or a random interval) the whole server's fans run at a high speed, and at After a few seconds they come back down at the speed of 6%, and so it happens all day.

When I incorporated the P440 hardware controller, I saw that its temperature was quite high, even having the ventilation kit, so I added a USB fan dedicated exclusively to the controller, and temperatures have dropped significantly. Previously it ran between 75 and 85 °, and currently has a constant temperature of 54 °.

Well, even having all the temperatures very good all over the server, I still have the high peaks of the fans.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Sorry for the whole explanation, but it was necessary.

Smart Array P420i "could not be authenticated as a genuine HPE drive"

We have run into an issue a couple of times now with Gen8 servers claiming that drives could not be authenticated as a HPE drive. This is causing us issues beceause it is throwing off our RAID status monitoring.

The problem is we have matching drives that don't cause this warning flag. For example:

  • Bay 14 HP EG0450FBDSQ (HPD6) *Not Authenticated*
  • Bay 16 HP EG0450FBDSQ (HPD6) *Not Authenticated*
  • Bay 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17 HP EG0450FBDSQ  (HPD6) *Authenticated

So how come only two drives out of my 10 drives are an issue?

There are some things to point out:

  • Three drives are on Port 2l and two of them are the ones reporting this issue
  • Firmware of the P420i is 8.32 with 1024MiB module size and a valid battery 
  • This is a Gen8 25 bay server (starting with Gen8 you don't use the separate SAS expander)

Intelligent Provisioning version in SPP 2018.03

Hi,

why is the version 2.7 of Intelligent Provisioning not included in the current SPP 2018.03?
It's still version 2.55.

Is it possible to include the 2.7 update file in the SPP manually so I can update the IP and all firmware from USB drive in one go?

At the moment I use 2 usb drives, first to update the IP 2.7, then to run firmware updates with SPP.

New ML350 Gen10.  Trying to insure the firmware and drivers are all up to date.  Looks like Intelligent Provisioning would be the easiest way for me.  Get the following message when I attempt to update the firmware that way.

"The firmware repository is not accessible or has timed out.  Check your settings to enable".

Can't seem to find in the manuals or searching online on what needs to be done to fix this.  Can someone steer me in the right direction?

We have replaced our older server and I would like to repurpose the HP server so I can have all my Users Stations use it to backup their computers.  The new server is in place and has taken over all functions and I have disconnected the HP server from the system.

SAS Expander card with a breakout cable?

Hi,

 

I have an old ML350 G6 and right now I have 6 SATA drives connected to the motherboard. This is really slow and I was thinking of buying a SAS expander card from eBay.

My question is if I can buy a SFF-8087 breakout cable and use that instead of connecting it to a backplane?

DL360 Gen9 motherboard replace

DL360 Gen 9

motherboard is lost power and unable to power on and also no status of LED .

We are decided to change motherboard. But the problem is server don't have any contoller card ,only have onboard AHCI SATA controller. Before the server failure , we configure software RAID 1 . So we are not sure the data is not loss when we replace the motherboard because of using onboard controller.

The question is if we change the motherboard, the data is surely have on the HDD or data loss?

ML350 G5 P/N 419521-005 

ML350 G5 P/N 470064-837

^both of those have E200i raid card. I'm thinking about upgading to P410:

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01677092

^according to those specs, 6Gb/s is supported. but from googling around and even posts in these forums, there is some confusion on whether the enclosure will limit that from 6 to 3Gb/s. i didn't think enclosures did anything like that... doesn't enclosures just fan out the HDDs for you to plug in? why would it determine the HDD bandwidth?

so would it be 3 or 6? i'm thinking about possibly doing SSDs... that's why the questions.

 

also... i also read there are single virtual disk limitations... of something like 1 to 2TB, is inherent issue of chipset or will this raid card tak me to larger disk capacities of beyond 4TB per disk?

DL585 G5/G6 hybrid memeory issues under Win 10 for workstations

I've got an HP DL585 G5 with a G6 cpu drawer stuffed in the front -- All bios's are up to date and the machine performs OK in general use -

   Problem is: when I run things like unigine Superposition or Novabench or even PC mark -- it mis-reports the RAM -- for example: unigine shows 96gb of RAM the first time around (I only have 48 in it at the moment) then the second time it adds another 48 gigs -- novabench misreports 96 gigs every run .

I'm assuming it's a windows issue but I seem to remember ther was a memory controller or chipset driver I had to do for server 2k8r2 to get the memory reporting right  Anyone else ran across this? -- Machine runs unigine perfect on the linux side with Opensuse leap Also it passes all the HW tests on the flash drive when booting from Gandalfs win/PE Redstone

Smart Array "Mixed mode" makes drive letter change UN-CONTROLLABLE AND UN-WANTED

System configuration:

  • Proliant ML350 Gen10 with Smart Array P816i-a
  • HDD: 8TB SAS
  • OS: CentOS 7.4

Symtoms:

Unwanted and un-modifiable behaviour of Smart Array "Mixed mode". Drive letter for OS system drive (Logical drive created by RAID setup) will change when new unassigned drives are inserted into the system.

It seems to be related to the "Mixed mode" behaviour. Unfortunately, according to the "HPE Smart Array SR Gen10 Configuration Guide" (part no. 882375-002), the mixed mode of Port settings is "cannot be disabled".

Here is self explained terminal output log:
