as far as I know it is not possible. 
the messages and the LCD are more or less 'linked' to each other.

Re: OMSA on Precision

2010-06-25 Thread Bryan
It may be possible to use the SAS Storage Manager utility, but I don't have
a card to test.  It's GUI only though and doesn't have any network
functionality that I'm aware of though.

How do I clear blinking front panel SBE warning on a PowerEdge server w/out rebooting?

2010-06-25 Thread Bryce Nesbitt
Dear List,

How do I clear a blinking front panel warning on a PowerEdge 1950
server w/out rebooting the server?
I have an ECC (error correcting code) SBE (single bit error)  that I
plan to ignore ("2111 SBE Log Disabled DIMM 7").
I know how to delete the log line via the drac card cli, but that kind
of misses the point.

I'd like to leave the message in the logs, but clear the front panel.
Is this possible?

PERC S300 - can it be made to work?

2010-06-25 Thread Duncan Gibb
Hello

Can anyone give me a definitive statement wrt the status of PERC S300
SATA controller support for Linux?  I found an inconclusive thread on
this list last month:

http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2010-May/042244.html

and rumour from two months ago that it might be supported by the mpt2sas
driver:

http://www.delltechcenter.com/thread/3474701/

mpt2sas doesn't support it in the binaries we have to hand, and I can't
see how or where in the current mainline kernel source.


I also found people claiming it's hardware-identical to the
fully-working SAS 6/iR controller we thought we were getting (both PCBs
are marked "UCS-61" and look the same to the untrained eye).


Is there a Linux driver of any kind available anywhere?  A JBOD-only
driver that we have to compile ourselves would be absolutely fine.

Is it possible to re-flash the hardware with the SAS 6/iR firmware?


Cheers


Duncan

Dell guys:  will the PERC/CERC apps work with his controller?

If so, megamon and the raidmon scripts may do what Grant needs, but
they're a bit kludgy to set up.  I have a working setup on an old
Precision box with a PERC 3 pulling duty as my home server, so post if
you're trying that route and have questions.

RE: OMSA on Precision

2010-06-25 Thread Sturgis, Grant
Thanks Bryan.  With that said, is there any way possible to report on
the CERC SATA RAID status without rebooting?

This system has a history of failed hard drives, but I think I fixed the
root cause (power supply).  I'd like to report RAID status at a frequent
interval to make sure it's not failing.

Without this you don't have hardware reporting.

OMSA on Precision

2010-06-25 Thread Sturgis, Grant
Hey folks,

Not Poweredge related, but I'm hoping for help anyway.  I have a
Precision 670 with CentOS 5.5 and the latest OMSA (6.2) installed from
the Linux repo.

Problem is that OMSA cannot "see" anything.  The web interface shows
nothing as does omreport chassis (and other omreport commands).

Is this possible?  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Grant

It looks like it wants an update to the smbios-utils-bin.i386 package... but
unfortunately, no such update for the i386 package appears to be in
the repository.

I realize that there are sources I could build from... but is this a known
issue and will there be an update for the i386 package coming out soon?

Strange networking issue

2010-06-25 Thread Brian O'Mahony
I have a PE2850, running RHEL5.4, with a two port intel card in it. One port 
from both onboard and PCI NIC connect to the network in an active-backup bond. 
Yesterday at about 2pm we had a broadcast storm on one of the switches, and 
eth0 failed over to eth3. Everything was running fine (I didn't even notice the 
failover, nor did users). At 6pm, we had another strange networking issue (not 
sure what yet, but one of our VMware HA boxes decided to no longer be available 
by heartbeat). The eth3 interface dropped this:

Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: e1000: eth3: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx 
Unit Hang

Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel:   next_to_watch.status <0>

There was no failover message. People started complaining this morning about 
the speed. A colleague ifdown/up the bond and all is ok. Until I checked the 
log:
Jun 25 08:38:03 ccvobdubpr kernel: e1000: eth3: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link 
is Up 10 Mbps Half Duplex, Flow Control: None

Currently we are running on eth0.

I have a number of questions here.
#1 why didn't it fail over. I take it it hung, and the interface slowed right 
down.
#2 Why did it come back up as 10Mb (It was definitely running fine between 2pm 
and 6pm yesterday)
#3 can I fix eth3 without a reboot.

Thanks
