drac5 -- connect server- => INVALID ARGUMENT
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 hi, I'm encountering yet another stupid problem. I'm trying to get a serial console on my servers, I understood from the manual that connect server- would give me a serial console. replacing with 1-10 (blade 1 to 10). the problem is that It doesnt work: DRAC/MC:connect server-1 INVALID ARGUMENT connecting to switch-1 and -2 works just well. I tried to grep through the doc for connect and serial. I didn't see a 'per module' setting for connect? anyone kind enough to point me toward the good direction? :) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMtx7oAAoJEEzIl7PMEAliW5QIALYPZKYn/Jbq/t/SUDwG87UQ kFxa6X/5udYa28BcM2VnNWdSnTv45Ug/hlYv/O/IbTtmf/fS4lOpy88dCtwe5EeJ s4AjSgPyfTHsYKOlvkiGWMLuPbBdv1+z72aZhZ5OzLveMKTsa80zrI/I5QBsWwys KtnM8hzMZyvQ4byNRfctriZPU8FMlFFM5c0ICAmI8/Kq2+4WVNcElTwzESEEV4Vq YaBTw/Qgyyb2jaGf+XdNHzjwr6QU+pX6KuqykaC1gflfVCaA0OXE2ai0mirSzYoB usCmKOS66FMBOJiqRB/UhxolJfv52vfe9bfy6JjVamO8OCUtSFSIgjG//PiVmgo= =S1At -END PGP SIGNATURE- smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
Re: perc6i alignment?

WD have been shipping 1.5TB and 2TB drives with 4k sectors for a while, and Hitachi is now also (just) doing so. In the case of the WD drives, they lie that they have a 512byte physical sectors, because if they don't various BIOS and software breaks (dunno about the Hitachis). So, if you're using those drives, then the PERC had better align it's user-visible data on 4096 byte boundries, otherwise write performance will go down the toilet (unaligned write of 4k of data will result in 2 reads and 2 writes instead of a single write). Dunno if it does or not, I guess you could pull a drive an use dmraid to work out what it's doing (the RAID metadata it uses is an open standard).

Unfortunately it is back to the drawing board for me, at least partially. As it turns out, the sc1425's aren't supported by OMSA 6.3.0 after all, even though I recall seeing sc1425 being listed as supported hardware for it. > Thanks all for the various tips 'n pointers. I'll have a closer look at those again to work around lack of OMSA support.
