Re: MD3000 on Debian Lenny
Hi, we have MD3000 (connected using two LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068 PCI-
X Fusion-MPT SAS) also on debian (testing now)...
All multipath.conf's i have found were for redhat or so.
This one works for me, i have to modify paths to *_callout
blacklist {

Hi,
I'm trying to get a MD3000 working with Debian Lenny and it looks like a
big mess from my POV. Dell only supports SuSE and RedHat, but I didn't
expect that it'd be so hard to get this up and running on Debian.
Can anyone give me some pointers to get this working? I don't care if I
can use multipath or not. I just want a reliable way to access the disks.
So far I've tryed with the multipath-tools, dm-rdac and porting (kind of)
the dell SM-Tools to Debian, but nothing got me rid of the I/O errors
that happen when accessing the exported devices.
Best Regards,
Dominik

RHEL 5.3 Multipathing question
I am setting up a RHEL5.3 machine connected to an iSCSI SAN (PS6000). The machine is a PE2850. I have two onboard network ports and an Intel NIC with two ports. One from each is connected to our lan, and the other on each is connected to our SAN network, which is segregated from everything else. This is my first time setting up access for something with fault tolerance (previously it was all just for testbeds etc). I *had* originally set up the two SAN nics as a bond with the failover set to active-passive. As I was reading more documentation, I came across multipathing, and I am wondering if it is needed in my case. The machine is going to be the only machine connected to the LUN presented by the PS6000. The LUN is 500Gb, and this will be chopped down further using the OS (either ext3 or ext4) into 10x50Gb logical volumes. Is multipath really needed and/or necessary in this case? Why? I9m looking at setting it up anyways, but im in a bit of a rush and would rather not put things I don't fully understand on a production box.

No apology, remorse, alternative solutions, etc. That's pretty funny considering the fairly high failure rate of Dell drives. If you actually check the SMART statistics you'll see the PERC often tries to pretend bad drives are just fine. For example I have a Dell-provided Seagate in a PE2950 right now that has logged 100 uncorrected write errors and 10 uncorrected read errors, and has failed a SMART long self-test. The PERC says 2 media errors and hasn't failed it out of the RAID.

yes, i did the above, adjusted the bios it can see all drives SAS 146G but when i insert dell managment and installatin bootable v5.4 and adjust the raid start installation after 50% it ask again for open mange server administrator v5.3 when i put the above requested CD ... it gave rejection. any help please. thanks On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 11:15 PM, James Bensley jwbens...@gmail.com wrote: Todd LaPittus t...@lapittus.com wrote: Sounds like you have a bunch of drives hanging off the controller that aren't part of a volume...

RE: PE2950
I'm completely confused by the string of replies here, but I'll continue top posting. Going completely out on WAG here, but if you are using the SBUU CD to install an OS, uncheck the Install OpenManage checkbox and install it later. The OMSA install files aren't on the SBUU CD image and can lead to confusion as you go through the install process. If you are using the SBUU DVD image, I'm completely wrong, please ignore.
