Re: SAS 6/iR as SAS/SATA only controller

fixed the issue. I _think_ this might be fixed in newer firmware? -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! ___ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman

: 27610 Terminated /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/dsm_om_shrsvcd [FAILED] See if typing: export LC_ALL=C before you start it fixes it... It fixed a problem for me on one of my systems (an rpath linux install). Not seen it elsewhere (CentOS/RHEL installs). -- Eric Rostetter

Re: RAID-5 and database servers

a different setup than if your database is mostly batch oriented and response time isn't as important... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! ___ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com

Re: RAID-5 and database servers

speculating without knowing anything about the workload. And I at least have stated that in my posts/replies... If a serious answer is needed, the OP needs to post the workload and performance expectations at a minimum... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas

Re: RAID-5 and database servers

Quoting Jefferson Ogata powere...@antibozo.net: That's not what I mean by a full RAID failure. My mistake; I just glossed right over the word full as if it wasn't there... Sorry about that... Brain fart I guess -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas

Re: AHCI permitted on some Gen 11 servers (was Third-party drives not permitted on Gen 11 servers)

for clients, and may not be able to. Some people might just want the HW RAID for certain applications... But in many cases, SW RAID is a better choice today. That didn't used to be the case 10 years ago, but the times have drastically changed since then... Tim. -- Eric Rostetter The Department

RE: Third-party drives not permitted on Gen 11 servers

know the bandwidth is better in the new PERC cards, but I can deal with the current speed... If/When Dell only offers lock-in PERC's, well, I'll figure out what to do then... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns

Re: Third-party drives not permitted on Gen 11 servers

question here is, why didn't Dell's extensive testing for certification help catch this issue? The warranty doesn't really apply, since it is just a firmware upgrade, and the firmware is free... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns

Re: help configuring a db server

the RAID 1 and just do 5 drives (RAID 10 plus hot-spare). You'd have to spec all that one Dell's web site to see if it comes in under $6K. If not, just start dropping down until you hit your mark (from 7 drives to 5, from 15K SAS to 10K SAS to SATA). -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics

Re: RAID battery-backed cache - necessary?

for a while... Well that answers my question - thanks :-) At least partially... :) There's usually more to these things than meets the eyes... Cheers, Adam. -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns

Re: OMSA 6.2 install issues...

about the order that didn't work is that I installed srvadmin-{deng,hapi,isvc} before I installed srvadmin-omilcore and maybe some others... Installing them too soon might be the problem? Not sure though, and I unfortunately didn't keep the order that didn't work... -- Eric Rostetter

OMSA help in unsupported install...

at all (local checks, snmpd config checks, OMSA config checks, etc) appreciated, since I'm rather a novice at setting up snmpd as well as unsupported OMSA setups. :) Thanks in advance for any help that might come my way. -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go
