I already switch the smart array part 2 days ago but the System Management declares the failing battery again.

 

Please answer with an "easy" English vocabulary cause I'm French ^^ (English speaker but difficultes with technic vocabulary).

 

Thanks in advanse!

Proliant DL320 G5 Raid 1 Rebuild error

$
0
0

I have a Proliant DL320 G5 server with the embedded raid controller configured in a RAID1.  The other day the system logs indicated an issue with Disk0.  I went into the Raid controller and ran a verify disk on Disk0 and it failed almost immediately.  I ordered a new hard drive and replaced Disk0 with the new drive.  I then went into the raid controller and ran a rebuild on the array.  The rebuild gets to 96% and then fails with the following error;

 

"Media error happened during the data transfer.  The array will not be optimal."

 

I ran a verify disk on both disks0 and disk1 and both were completed succesfuly.  I tried the rebuild again and it keeps failing at exactly the same spot.

 

Anyone have any ideas how I can get the raid working again?

Proliant DL380e Gen8 keeps crashing (PSOD) after upgrade to HP customized VMWare ESXi 5.5 U2

$

Hello HP community,

 

I already briefly discussed the issue in VMWare communities, see https://communities.vmware.com/thread/491027

But this was not really leading to a resolution.

 

I maintain a newly bought HP Proliant DL380e Gen8 server which was freshly installed in August using the HP customized VMWare vSphere 5.5 Update 1 installation ISO. After configuration the server ran fine.

Hardware data:

HP Proliant DL380e Gen8 (bought brand new in August 2014), HP SmartArray B320i storage controller, HP H222 host bus adapter (only a HP Ultrium4 tape drive connected to that), HP Intel 4port NIC 366i, 32GB RAM, 2 Quadcore Intel Xeon E5-2407

 

I'm aware that the storage controller B320i is not on the VMWare HCL but that's why I used the customnized installation ISO.

 

After HP released a new SPP and a VMWare 5.5 Update 2 ISO beginning of September I first installed the SPP during maintenance providing several firmware updates. The ilo4 firmware was updated to 2.0 some weeks before.

Afterwards I ran an upgrade installation to VMWare 5.5 U2. All went through without issues, no errors or crashes.

 

The server was running fine for some days and suddenly the first crash of VMWare happened. The PSOD displayed was similar to the one in the attachment. Error message: PCPU 0: no heartbeat (2/2 IPIs received)

 

I rebooted the server through iLo console and during the following days the server crashed multiple times with a similar PSOD, always with PCPU 0: no heartbeat (2/2 IPIs received)

 

At the time of the crash the server/VMWare was mostly idle (at night time or very early in the morning.

 

I reviewed the BIOS settings and set those according to HP recommondations for VMWare, especially referring to power management settigs.

 

But no configuration change or setting helped, VMWare kept crashing randomly, sometimes after about half a day, 2-3 days or about a week.

 

2 days ago I started deploying a new Windows VM, initial VM configuration was successful, the VM was created on the datastore and appeared in inventory. Just at power on of that VM VMWare crashed again with No heartbeat PSOD.

This was reproduceable after a reboot of the system. After the reboot the newly created VM disappeared from the inventory but was still existing physically on the datastore volume.

 

Since this happened during office hours, I was fed up with testing various BIOS settings and things in VMWare configuration and went back to VMWare 5.5 Update 1 (build 1746018 HP customized) by using the SHIFT+r altbootbank option on boot up.

 

The server runs stable without issues since then (I know only 2 days, but ...) and new VM deployment works fine with 5.5 U1.

 

I somehow suspect a kernel <-> driver error here to be the cause of the PSODs. It might be the HP 366i 4port NIC physical driver in conjunction with the virtual E1000 NICs within the VMs or even the HP hpvsa driver for the B320i Smart Array controller.

 

Anyone around here any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

HP Intelligent Provisioning formats filesystem without any confirmation

$

I've tried to use HP Intelligent Provisioning 1.61 to install RHEL7 on my HP DL360p Gen8.
I've selected "Manual" install
Once clicked "Next" installation started - my disc was formatted without any warning, all data and existent Windows installation was erased.

 

Installer must ask for confirmation before formating HDD, otherwise HDD content may be erased by accident.

 

Another interesting question - if  I can use Intelligent Provisioning to install "dual-boot" system, or "dual-boot" system can be installed only using OS vendor installer?

Rebuild Dl165 G6? How can I get the initial HP drivers/utilities loaded?

$

Easy Start CD does not apply to this one model (per HP Easy Start docs), SmartStart 'not supported model' (have tried 8.4, 8.6 and 8.7 just in case), and drivers cannot be loaded as .exe via cd-rom becasue the system does not read them (just results in failure to boot).

 

How can I get this machine rebuilt? Step 1 getting the HP drivers loaded and disk array set up seems next to impossible?

Hi All,

 

I have recently bought a Proliant SE316m1 but I cant find any help, drivers about this model.

 

The bigges issue I have got is the fans speed. Al I can do is to get to 50% speed but this is still to much.

 

I have seen many HP servers and they are much quiter than mine. 

 

I managed to get SPP-2014.02.iso 

 

and my BIOS is now  R02 dated 07/02/2013

Power Management firmware is v2.9

 

Fans still 50%  can you advise please?

 

 


DL365 stuck on HP Proliant Invent spash screen

Hi

 

I had this happen to me and thought I would post my solution.

 

I tried setting the maintenance switch to 6 and back no joy, ran the server on 1 CPU and tried changing CPU, again no joy.

 

My solution was to remove the serial cable from the server that goes into the tape library and the server booted straight away.  Once up, connected cable and rebooted to test and it worked fine.

 

That's it.

RBSU don't start with F9

Hello everybody,

 

i have ML350e Gen8 5U Tower Server.

 

My problem is that i can not enter the RBSU. If i push F9 (or F1, the same problem) ,after the POST, the monitor goes to standby  and the servers fans get very loud for a short time. The monitor shows nothing after the POST.

 

I updated the BIOS firmware to the last version.

 

I reset the NVRAM and RBSU over Intelligent Provisioning and over the system maintenance switch.

(switch 6)

 

The version of Intelligent Provisioning is 1.4. I try to Update to 1.6.1 with CD and over the  option Firmware Update in Intelligent Provisioning, but it shows only error.

 

Here is a video with the problem.

Thank you

Is it possible to connect server DL380G5 to HP MSA P2000 G3 SAS using SC08e HBA? In quick spec for HBA there is no DL380G5 on supported server list, but server has PCI-E slots. It is acceptable in that configuration that we have decreased speed of 3Gb.

Hello!

We want to install 8 physical drives with raid 1+0. So we get 4 logical drives.

But when we try to install the third logical drive we get the following message:
(Two logical drives are no problem).

*********************
You cannot create another logical drive, you have reached the maximum number of logical drives supported by ORCA. You must use the array configuration utility to create more logical drives.
*********************

We have try the BIOS utility and also the ACU from the SmartStart CD. The System is blank and we will install ESX 4.0.

Thanks for help!
