Hi,
I have a big problem with my SC1425 Dell Servers. I use Linux Software
RAID on them and last days i make few tests on them to see the
reaction of the server about different situations like : power
failure, hard drive prower failure ...
And the hard drive prower failure was the problem. When i unplug the
electric alimentation (or the SATA port cable) of one of my two hard
drives in RAID 1, the server stop responding and i get this messages :
ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata4.00: cmd e7/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 0
            res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata4: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0xd0)
ata4: port failed to respond (30sec, Status 0xd0)
ata4: soft resetting port

I have make the same test on a SC1435 (the next generation) with a
broadcom chispset/driver and everything is fine when i unplug one hard
drive.
On SC1425 my bios is up-to-date from the dell website.

You can contact me for more informations, or some tests.

Thanks for your work
