Not sure. :) The following is one ordering which works, but I bet there

I'd be more inclined to buy into the whitepaper
and the idea behind it if it were not for the fact
that Dell servers continue to come with whatever
random hard drive model and manufacturer Dell can
get at a low price; I don't believe there is any
special evaluation of manufacturers quality and/or

I am trying to run a "yum install $(bootstrap_firmware)" on a Dell PE2900 and I
get the following error ...

I have a PE-2650 at home on which I do configuration
testing, things I can then use on the newer servers
at the office. It cost me nearly nothing ($10) and runs
generic drives. With that familiarity I am comfortable
with Dell quality and can recommend similar systems.
I also have an entry leve

Thank you very much for your comments and feedback regarding exclusive use of
Dell drives. It is common practice in enterprise storage solutions to limit
drive support to only those drives which have been qualified by the vendor. In
the case of Dell's PERC RAID controllers, we began informing
I too had this problem a few months ago when we put our first R410 into
production.
The resolution was to upgrade the ethernet driver. I got it from Dell's
website then installed it on the CentOS system:
gtar xvzf Bcom_LAN_14.1.0_LinuxR5S10_DKMS_A01.tar.gz
Find the appropriate version:
Bcom_L
We had to do the same thing on R410's. We ran into a situation where
the one of the interfaces would stop working, and ethtool would show
"no link". Restarting network wouldn't fix anything, only a reboot
would resolve the problem. Moving to the Broadcomm provided driver
has solved this for us.
Having gone through the drivers at dell the only difference is that they have
the config file set to not compile in MSI. Advantage goes to putting this line
options bnx2 disable_msi=1,1,1,1
(Note this is on an R610 with 4 nics adjust the number of 1's accordingly with
your hardware)
into /e
I would recommend passing the following option for the bnx2 driver:
modprobe bnx2 disable_msi=1
Another option is to use the Dell bnx2 driver found at support.dell.com.
Thanks!

I probably should also warn you that the operations I have described are data
destructive (i.e. could result in loss of data/loss of OS functionality). So
use at your own risk.

How does one do that when the control
Clearforeign only removes drives in foreign state. These drives are online. To
get rid of this configuration you either need to delete the virtual disk or to
delete all the virtual disks you can use the reset config command.

Hi,
I use dd and write zeros on top of the signature. That data is stored at the
end of the drive, so it takes a hours get it done.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd{whatever} bs=64k

Good info. I usually install all then remove what I don't need:
# yum -y install srvadmin-all
# rpm -ev srvadmin-all srvadmin-idrac srvadmin-idracadm
srvadmin-idrac-components srvadmin-idracdrsc srvadmin-rac4

How are you supposed to clear the configuration on a disk previously
used on a PERC 5/i?
# omconfig storage controller action=clearforeignconfig controller=0
Command successful!
# omconfig storage pdisk action=clear controller=0 pdisk=0:0:1
Operation disabled. Read, action=clear
# omreport sto
Just wondering if their was any update on the issue with the missing keys?
More that happy to provide any further info if required.

We've just taken delivery of a pair of R710s with PERC 6i controller and
