Hi list. It's about one week that mpt-statusd daemon running on a PE840 (equipped with SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 01), OS Debian Lenny) is sending me many mails.
$ sudo dpkg -l | grep mpt-status ii mpt-status 1.2.0-4.2 $ sudo omreport storage controller Controller SAS 5/iR Adapter (Slot 1) Controllers ID : 0 Status : Ok Name : SAS 5/iR Adapter Slot ID : PCI Slot 1 State : Ready Firmware Version : 00.10.51.00.06.12.05.00 Minimum Required Firmware Version : Not Applicable Driver Version : 3.04.07 Minimum Required Driver Version : Not Applicable Number of Connectors : 1 Rebuild Rate : Not Applicable BGI Rate : Not Applicable Check Consistency Rate : Not Applicable Reconstruct Rate : Not Applicable Alarm State : Not Applicable Cluster Mode : Not Applicable SCSI Initiator ID : Not Applicable Cache Memory Size : Not Applicable Patrol Read Mode : Not Applicable Patrol Read State : Not Applicable Patrol Read Rate : Not Applicable Patrol Read Iterations : Not Applicable First it sends me a mail with this body (the subject is "info: mpt raid status change on mybox"): This is a RAID status update from mpt-statusd. The mpt-status program reports that one of the RAIDs changed state: Report from /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd on mybox then after about 10' it sends me another mail with the same subject and this body: This is a RAID status update from mpt-statusd. The mpt-status program reports that one of the RAIDs changed state: ioc0 vol_id 0 type IM, 2 phy, 148 GB, state OPTIMAL, flags ENABLED ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 32 ATA WDC WD1601ABYS-1 6H05, 149 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE ioc0 phy 0 scsi_id 1 ATA WDC WD1601ABYS-1 6H05, 149 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE Report from /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd on mybox In /var/log/messages I read what follows: mpt-statusd: detected non-optimal RAID status and also kernel: mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - IOC is in FAULT state (1600h)!!! kernel: mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing HardReset from mpt_fault_reset_work!! kernel: mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery kernel: mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - IOC is in FAULT state!!! kernel: mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - FAULT code = 1600h kernel: sd 0:1:0:0: mptscsih: ioc0: completing cmds: fw_channel 0, fw_id 0, sc=f6e68780, mf = f7bc2e80, idx=d kernel: sd 0:1:0:0: mptscsih: ioc0: completing cmds: fw_channel 0, fw_id 0, sc=f6e686c0, mf = f7bc3080, idx=11 (...) kernel: sd 0:1:0:0: mptscsih: ioc0: completing cmds: fw_channel 0, fw_id 0, sc=f0465200, mf = f7bcb480, idx=119 kernel: mptbase: ioc0: Recovered from IOC FAULT kernel: mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - mpt_fault_reset_work: HardReset: success kernel: mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery OMSA is telling me nothing about such events, and the server apparently runs fine, so I'm asking if I should be seriously worried about. Any similar experience in the NG? In the case I have to upgrade the firmware of the SAS card (my first thought), could anybody teach me how to do this in debian? Thanks. -- Alessandro _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
