Re: Server memory problems
Hi Andy, Sounds to me like you have 1) a flakey board, 2) the memory is not identical. We never use kingston for a variety of reasons, but you really should see if the part numbers are identical. The timings on the drams is critical. I would never mix capacities. 3) Make sure the memory is all the same i.e. registered e.c.c. or non registered e.c.c. I don't think its the power supply, but it can be.

Everything worked awesome. I recently upgraded it, adding another processor and another 40 GB of ram. It was incredibly unstable and constantly rebooted within minute or two of uptime, sometimes it wouldn't even boot all the way before crashing and rebooting again. Seemed like a memory issue so I scaled it back to two processors and 32 GB (4x8GB) of ram. Worked well so I added the remaining 8 GB sticks I had, bringing it up to 64 GB. Still worked great. The sticks I had left were a mix and match variety of 8GB and 4GB sticks. Thinking maybe there was some problem with mixing them, I ordered more 8GB memory just like the ones in the box. While waiting for the new memory, the machine performed great with no issues. New memory arrived and I added two more 8GB sticks. Immediately the constant crashing returned. It seems really unlikely that I got bad memory in two separate orders. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Re: ahcich Timeouts SATA SSD
Hi, I don't know how far apart you added memory from the time you bought/built your server. I say that because the drams on the memory might be slightly different. When we build servers, we use a particular brand for certain reasons but one of those reason is the fact the dram specs do not change on a given sku. Here is what I recommend you try. Take out all the memory. Add one dimm only. See if problem persists. If problem stops, add second dimm. Still good, add 3rd dimm and keep adding another dimm one by one. When the problem comes back. Remove all dimms again and put the last dimm you added where the problem came back in first slot. If the problem persists, you found the winner. If not, add all dimms back except the one you just tested and use another dimm. If problem persists, you found a bad memory slot. It's a real PITA but that is the only way to find the issue if it is indeed memory or a bad memory slot. One more thing you should try. Did you enable IPMI? If so, #ipmitool -H x.x.x.x sel list Take a look at the output. If you did not enable IPMI (ipadd/netmask/gateway), the bios should have a place to do so. Sorry, we don't sell/build supermicro* so I am unfamiliar with those boards. If you are using both kingston/crucial, just use one of those, do not mix them. Hope this can help you out.

Overloading the power supply and/or the wiring (with too many splitters) can result in flaky problems like this. OS will respond to ping requests after the issue and if you have an active SSH session you will remain connected to the system until you attempt to do something like 'ls', 'ps', etc. I am not able to drop into DDB when the issue happens as the system is locked up completely. Could be a failure on my part to understand/engage in how to do this, will try if the issue happens again (should on Wednesday AM unless setting camcontrol apm to off for the disks somehow fixes the issue).

Does the problem happen with both the Crucial and the Intel SSDs? If software I agree that it would not make sense that this would suddenly pop-up after months of operation with no issues. If something causes the software/firmware to take a different path, new issues can appear. E.g. error handling or even timing. Infrequently used code paths might not have been tested sufficiently. Does the controller have firmware? Part of the BIOS I suppose. Is there a BIOS update available? Have you considered connecting the SSDs to a different controller? the on-board AHCI portion of the BIOS does not always see the disks after the event without a hard system power reset. That's at least one bug somewhere, probably the hardware isn't getting reset properly. Does Supermicro know about this bug? I have 48 Gb of Crucial memory that I will put in this system today to replace the 24 Gb or so of Kingston memory I have in the system. Which in addition to being different memory, should reduce swap activity. Suggestion: move everything to conventional drives. Keep at least one SSD connected to system, but normally unused. Now you can beat on the SSD in a controlled manner to debug the problem. Does reading trigger the problem? Writing?

Re: Do I need SAS drives?..
Not sure what kind of server you are referring to but our servers can take SAS and SATA at the same time. We build plenty of servers running FreeBSD which in some cases have SATA SSD for boot drives (in a RAID-1) and then X amount of either SATA or SAS or both in a different RAID configuration all connected to the same high quality RAID Controller. I have yet to see any complaint with the configurations we've done for our clients. SAS drives can be much faster. 15K RPM vs. SATA 7.2K. Your choices would depend on how busy the server is.

BSD will hot plug anything. I suspect 'hot plug' relates to Microsoft workaround hardware RAID. Hot plug enclosures will also let the host know a drive has been pulled. Otherwise ZFS won't know whether it was pulled or is unresponsive due to it being on fire or something. With 8 drives in your array you can probably figure this out yourself. SAS drives use SCSI commands, which are supposedly better than SATA commands. Electrically they are the same. SAS drives are more expensive and tend to be higher spec mechanically, but not always so. Incidentally, nearline SAS is a cheaper SATA drive that understands SAS protocol and has dual ports. Marketing. Basically, if you really want speed at all costs go for SAS. If you want best capacity for your money, go SATA. If in doubt, go for SATA. If you don't know you need SAS for some reason, you probably don't. Regards, Frank.

SATA ones tend to be cheaper for the same features (like cache-sizes), what am I getting for the extra money spent on SAS? Asking specifically about the protocol differences... It would seem, for example, SATA can not be as easily hot-plugged, but with camcontrol(8) that should not be a problem, right? What else? Thank you! -- I have a different take on this. For starters SAS and SATA aren't electrically compatible. There's a reason SAS drives are keyed so you can't plug them in to a SATA controller. It keeps the magic smoke inside the drive. SAS controllers can tunnel SATA (They confusingly call this STP (Not Spanning Tree Protocol, but SATA Tunneling Protocol) It's imperfect but good enough for 8 drives. You really do not want to put 60 SATA drives in a SAS JBOD) SAS can be a shared fabric, which means a group of drives are like a room full of people having a conversation. If someone starts screaming and spurting blood it can disrupt the conversations of everyone in the room. Modern RAID controllers are pretty good at disconnecting drives that are not working properly but not completely dead. Modern HBAs not so much. If your controller is an HBA trying to keep a SAS fabric stable with SATA drives can be more problematic than if you use SAS drives...and as Frank pointed out nearline SAS drives are essentially SATA drives with a SAS interface (and are typically under a $20 premium) If performance was an issue we'd be talking about SSDs. While SAS drives do have a performance advantage over SATA in multiuser/multiapplication environments (they have a superior queuing implementation) it's not worth considering when the real solution is SSDs. My recommendation is if you have SAS expanders and an HBA use SAS drives. If you have direct wired SAS or a RAID controller you can use either SAS or SATA. If your application demands performance or concurrency get a couple SSDs. They'll smoke anything any spinning drive can do. ___ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: FreeBSD hardware solution for a database server
Uzi, What you may want to do is have an external RAID system attached with many smaller hard drives, and run in a RAID-10 for better performance.

Why can't it see 4 gigs without PAE? You only have 4g physical address space without PAE and your board takes 1.5G for memory mapping and such, so you only have 2.5G for RAM. Most boards just claim 0.5G, but 1.5G is not that unusual. Either use PAE, install amd64 if your CPU is 64bit capable or live with just 2.5G.

My Xeons are the 32 bit versions so I suppose that in my case I get to use PAE ?? or do I loose the "top" 1512 Mb, or does my machine loose that memory completely and I would be better moving it to another machine ?? thanks in advance most kind regards jonathan ___ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
