Re: OMSA on Precision
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?
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.

PERC S300 - can it be made to work?
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?

RE: OMSA on Precision
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
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. -Original Message- From: Bryan [mailto:bryan.madhat...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 9:04 AM To: Sturgis, Grant Subject: Re: OMSA on Precision Workstations don't have a bmc/ipmi functionality in most cases.

Strange networking issue
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: Tx Queue <0> Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: TDH Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: TDT <93> Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_use <93> Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_clean Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: buffer_info[next_to_clean] Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: time_stamp <4257186b> Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_watch Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: jiffies <42573ee7> Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_watch.status <0> There was no failover message.
