Hi, could some one give me some info on these various bits of software...

Way back when you setup a Proliant, Smartstart would install the variuos HP drivers along with Insight Manager and off you would go..., just add your email address to the alerts section and if the server had any problems you would get and email..., easy!..

I have just put a DL380 Gen8 together, it went thru the Inteligent Provisioning and then installed Server 2012 R2 etc and it went off an did loads of updates etc, rebooted.., and looks fine... We are using this server to host 5 VM's...

I want to use Insight Manager to alert me of problems, but when I run it up there is basically nothing in there..., it doesn't seem to be seeing any aspect of the server...

I see listed for this server on the Support / Drivers section on the HP site are three components... Insight Manager?, Smart Update Manager? and Service Pack for Proliant?

Which parts do I need to install to get Insight Manager working so that I can get alerts..?, and is there any order that these need to be installed in...?

Thanks in advance..

We recently had a drive failure on our ML 530 server, RAID 5 with an online spare. We unplugged the faulty drive, and plugged in the new 18Gb SCSI drive. It seemed to rebuild the drives fine, but after a short while the new drive started flashing and on now when we look at DAAD and drive diagnostics, we get the 'Valid data found in array accelerator' error. Would it be alright to again unplug the fault hard drive and re-insert another one, or is there a better option?

Many Thanks
Lee

I have a client that had a failed hot plug drive on a ProLiant ML350 server that was part of a RAID5 array and was told by Compaq Support to remove the failed drive from the server to read out the part number before putting it back in the server. This reset the "failed" indicator on the drive.

When I went on-site and looked at the server, I was able to rebuild the contents of the failed drive by selecting "Automatic Recovery" upon boot and the drive appears to have healed itself for now. My two questions are: -

(1) Why didn't the system automatically recover the contents of the failed drive onto the online spare?

(2) When the replacement drive arrives from Compaq, how would I go about replacing the faulty drive that no longer thinks that it's faulty without destroying the array?

I've found practically nothing to document this on compaq.co.uk or compaq.com. Could someone also please point me to the correct documentation?

Many thanks in advance.

We have 4 hotplug harddrive 1 inch 18.2 GB from a compaq proliant 5500 model. Now we bought a new ML370 server that only supports the new type drive cages for hot pluggable drives (the red/black ones in stead of white/red). Does somebody know if you can buy hot plug carriers/cages without a disk. (because i have the disks and want to build them in the new drive cages/carriers (dont now how they are called exactly :)))
. Tnx in advance !!!

Good day,

I'm trying to update the B320i raid controllers of our DL380e through the ESXi console

From the HP Support Center I found this:

Type: Firmware - Storage Controller

Version: 15.10.05.00 (27 Feb 2014)

Operating System(s): OS Independent, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server (x86-64), Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (AMD64/EM64T), Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, VMware ESX/ESXi 4.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (x86-64), VMware ESXi 5.0, Microsoft Windows Server 2012, VMware vSphere 5.1, VMware vSphere 5.5, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server (x86), Microsoft Windows Server 2008 W32, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (x86), Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 R2

File name:CP022078.scexe (1.2 MB)  

Unfortunately when I execute the CP022078.scexe it does nothing:

/vmfs/volumes/51300c3c-c71c908f-4d31-d89d67799974 # ./CP022078.scexe

Executing "./hpraidflash -listall"

 vmfs/volumes/51300c3c-c71c908f-4d31-d89d67799974 #

The version currently  running is definately lower, here's the output from 2 of our servers:

~ # /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/hpssacli controller all show detail | grep Version

   RAID Stack Version: 3.00

   HBA Firmware Version: 15.10.01.00

   HBA Mode Option ROM Version: 07.20.14.00

   Option ROM Version:3.10-0

   Driver Version: 0.0.5

I modified the install script a little bit to see what it's actually doing and it seems it simply doesn't detect the controller.

Only this unusual in our setup is maybe that we have modified the boot order as we are booting the servers from the on-board SDCard socket.

Any advice how I could "make it detect the controller"? Is there any other way I can update the firmware (i.e. throuh iLO)?

Thanx in advance.

We have some recently purchased HP 530SFP+ 10Gb network cards (652503-B21).    They were originally purchased for use in some DL380 Gen 8 servers.  Howerver, we we would like to put one in a DL360 G7.  

According to the specs, the card is listed as compatible with only some of the G7 servers, including the 165, 580, 585, and 980, but NOT the 360 G7 (although it does support the DL360 Gen8.

The card appears to be regular PCIe card, and has drivers for Windows 2008, 2008R2, and 2012, so it looks like it should fit OK.

I know I can just try it and see what happens, but I was just wondering if anyone knows why it's not listed as supporting the DL360 G7 servers?  Is it an actual incompatibility, or is just that since the DL360 G7's are now "discontinued", HP just didn't test/certify the card for it?

Hello all,

I'm sorry if any of this was already discussed in a different topic but I can't seem to find an answer to my current issue and I was wondering if others had similar before.

We recently got a DL380p G8 server with 4-port NIC.  I had initially installed the server with no issues outside of Intelligent Provisioning where I realized I set the wrong RAID level.  I decided to try out Intelligent Provisioning to make the the install easier for the drivers and things went well and I was into windows with the RAID level I needed and ability to join the domain.  The issue came up after I joined the domain and rebooted it went back to the Intelligent Provisioning.

Thinking something went wrong, I eventually got it back to joining the domain and rebooting and it booted fine.  So I installed windows updates, let it reboot but then the same issue came up where it tried to go back into Intelligent Provisioning.

After a few days of testing, I found the issue for this was the server is resetting the boot order back to default which for some reason has Intelligent Provisioning coming before booting to HDD and even disabling the option for Intelligent Provisioning didn't help in my earlier tests.  Setting the boot order worked one time but then ends up resetting itself and I have to keep manually booting from HDD.

I am also having another issue where the NIC doesn't always show up in the list.  It shows sometimes as I was able to join the domain and even download windows updates at one point but even trying to install the correct driver won't work.

I tried re-seating the NIC yet still encounter the same issue.

Does anyone have any ideas on something I may have missed?  I figured I'd message here in case anyone had ideas before messaging HP directly.

Thanks,

Derek

Hi,

I have a DL380 G4 with two QLOGIC FC cards for connectivity to a StorageWorks 2/8q Fiber Channel Switch, for accessing the MSA 1000 Datastore.

The problem is that one of the QLOGIC FC card of Proliant server is faulty.

I've just bought one to replace, and phisically has been replaced.

But don't know how to do this new QLOGIC adapter being recognised by the StorageWorks 2/8q and the MSA1000.

When I open HP Array Configuration Utility, I still see the old QLOGIC card.

Thanks

i have a server HP ML350G6 with 10k sas 146gb x2 configured RAID1, but now 1 of the HDD failure can i straight replace a clean HDD to the server or i need to format the OS?

Does anyone know a way to detect these via a script? Do they appear in the eventlogs at all?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am currently trying to get a server built for a new SQL install. Just to give forewarning, I am not particularly expert in server provisioning.

Configured the arrays, copied server 2008R2 onto a usb stick, booted into IP1.60 and started the install. 

All was fine until an error around licence key which, after a bit of snooping around, is apparently a known issue in v1.60.

I downloaded the IP 1.50 recovery media, created the USB key which, after a bit of messing about,  seemed to flash fine on the server. Rebooted and now when I try to go into the 1.50 IP menu to start the 2008 R2 install again, it starts to boot fine, then crashes out into linux with a 'warning unable to mount the filesystem dropping to a shell /bin/ash: cant access tty: job control turned off'

In a word, help! 

Thanks

hi forum

i have an problem with an hard drive in my server.

it is an ml350 g5 with an p400 controller.

there are two raids installed - on raid 1 an one raid5 with an spare disk

one of the disks in the raid5 (an GB0750C8047 with 750 gb) is broken so that the spare is used.

i bought now an 454146-B21BR with 1tb and replaced the drive.

now i get error messages:

does it mean that the new drive isn't ok?

Hello everyone,

I am new here and hope to find some answers to my question without annoying you.

I assume most of you guys are experts.

My question to you:

Can anybody recommend me a graphic card AND give me ideas (or even name people or businesses to help me) on turning my server into a fast machine for video editing?

Does it make sense anyway? What are the options? It happens to be that I got this machine and now I want to use it.

Is it financially viable to do so? Or do I pay more at the end assembling all the parts?

Any answer is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Bob

Hello,

We have highly customized Automated Server builds and we are using WinPE 3.0 boot media. We are mainly IBM Shop and decided to evaluate HP Proliant Server DL360 and DL 380 Gen 8. I am stuck at a point where I cannot find WinPE 3.0 32bit driver for HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561FLR-T Adapter anywhere on the Internet. We need to boot via WinPE 3.0 x86 and connect to Network to Launch our Server Build GUI. Unfortunately I cannot connect to Network without proper NIC driver.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Deepak

I've got a DL360 G7 currently with 2 146G SAS drives in an array under RAID 0. Those drives are in Bays 1 & 2.  My goal is to upgrade the entire system to have 4 300G SAS drives, without losing the current OS installation (and everything it's running of course). I've alreay put 2 300G drives in slots 3 & 4 and set them up as an array with 1 logical drive.

Here is the config in the Array Config Util:

SAS Array A - 1 Logical Drive

-Logical Drive 1 (136.7 GB, RAID 0)

-Unused Space, 136.7 GB

SAS Array B

-Logical Drive 2 (558.7 GB, RAID 0)

I'm aiming to end up with 4 300G drives installed and do RAID 5.

What is the best way (and ideally least painless of course) to get to that point, without losing the current OS setup?

Thanks.

Hi, I have a p410 smart array controller with 3 array

Note: controller and HDD have the lastest firmware installed

A) 1 SAS array (1x2disks) 148Gb hotswap

B) 1 SAS array (1x2disks) 300Gb hotswap

C) 1 Raid 1 SATA array  with spare (1x2disks + spare) 250Gb   NON HOTSWAP connected by cables

I cannot detach the spare from the array C in any way to reuse the channel for a new 600Gb SAS Raid 1array

with acucli , this should be the command

• controller slot=3 array C remove spares=all

but I get this error:

Error: This command did not complete properly. Please check your configuration
       for possible hardware or configuration problems. Use the "show" command
       on devices to show additional details about the configuration.

with the offline ACU gui nothing is allowed to be done on any disk.

Can someone help me please?

Thankyou in advance

Rudy
