Re: [CentOS] Centos 6.3 Network bnx2 Problem on HP DL360

After you have tried the pcie_aspm boot option, also try : echo performance /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy This will disable ASPM on PCIe and operate with maximum performance. This is what I use today on the DL380 G7. On 25.3.2013, at 09:06, Woehrle Hartmut SBB CFF FFS (Extern)

Re: [CentOS] Centos 6.3 Network bnx2 Problem on HP DL360

How often are you getting these crashes ? I had simular problem on my HP DL380 G7 server. I disabled Active State PowerManagement on the PCI-E express. Try it. Add pcie_aspm=off as optional boot option. Best regards, Svavar O Reykjavik - Iceland On 19.3.2013, at 15:32, Woehrle Hartmut

What kernel are you using ? Are you using inode64 mount option on the Cents server itself for XFS ? What OS was the NFS client running ? 32bit ? Just asking, as there seems to be problem with xfs on kernel 2.6.27 when using inode64 mount options regarding 32bit nfs Stephan van
