Hello !
We have few servers who are showing HP Smart Array Controllers Display a False "Warning" Status Within VMware vSphere Management Console, and every thing is ok from iLO.
Attaching the VIB list from the ESX host ( ESX 5.5 )
Can someone please share the process, on getting the relevant VIB upgraded/downgraded to fix this ? and ofcourse the location to download the file.
Server Details - HP 660c G8
Firmware Version - 3.42
ILO Firmware version - 1.13 ( ILO 4 )
I haven't looked, but I would assume if you are using the B140i with the hpdsa driver, mdstat won't show anything. mdstat is a tool for arrays built using the Linux md tools.
The DMAR errors are generall iommu related, what device are your attempting to pass-through to a virtual machine?
Bonjour à tous, j'ai un serveur Proliant DL160 G6 qui depuis peu ne fonctionne plus correctement. L'indicateur health est en orange et le UID toujours en bleu le serveur s'allume mais n'affiche rien. Je vous prie de bien vouloir m'orienter vers une probable solution Merci d'avance.
CORRECTION.
Previously, I said I have 2 4GB sticks in channels 3 and 4, what I meant to say was I have 2 4GB sticks in channels 2 and 3 for a total of 16GB.
Sorry about that.
I have an ML350 G5 with a LFF cage - how can I get a standard 2.5" SSD to work with it? Are there LFF trays that support 2.5" SSD drives?
I have 4 HP servers that run as my ESXi hosts. They are setup for RAID 1 (ADM) as they only run the ESXi hypervisor operating system. All my VMs run on a NETAPP SAN. I have gone into the caching settings on the RAID controller on the ESXi hosts and tweaked some settings. I have no idea if it's doing anything or what they really should be. I have added more read cache as a starter since the hosts aren't writing date very frequently ( I assume ).
What kind of settings would be optimal for the smart array caches on ESXi hosts. There is not really any information that i've found and it's annoying because I know these controllers are set to last or perform best in a wide array of scenarios but... what about MY scenario. What do I want them to set to when they're ESXi hosts. There are quite a few settings for adaptive failure, physical write cache, caching settings 10/90 for read and write. Do i want a 50/50 split on my ESXi host on the cache or do i still want the 10/90 split? Anyone who knows these things, please share the knowledge.
Check that the 'IPMI/DCMI Over LAN access' is enabled in iLO4 ( Administration -> Access Settings ).
Most people want it disabled due to the known IPMI 2.0 RCMP+ Authentication Remote Password Hash Vulnerability (RAKP)

Hi,
i have a easy question. A friend use a ML310e GEN8 v2 Server with build-in B120i Smart Array Controller (ver. 4.50) with four non-HPE SATA Drives (2TB, 6GB/s) within two different RAID 1 Volumes. Because of poor I/O Performance with the installed ESXi 6, we are thinking about a Smart Array P410 Controller with a 512 MB BBWC. I know, that this controller isn't officialy support by HPE for the server, but will work anyway.
My question is: Does the P410 recognize AND use the Meta-Informationen on the disks belong to the RAID Informationen from the B120i Controller?
Best Regards from Germany
Florian
Thank you for your reply!
> I haven't looked, but I would assume if you are using the B140i with the hpdsa driver, mdstat won't show anything. mdstat is a tool for arrays built using the Linux md tools.
I see!! Thank you so much !!
I installed and used "HP Smart Storage Administrator CLI" to confirm RAID.
I use show command. Result is "logicaldrive 1 (931.5 GB, RAID 0, OK)” !
> The DMAR errors are generall iommu related, what device are your attempting to pass-through to a virtual machine?
I did not intend to install it to virtual machine.
I selected USB DVD at Boot Menue and installed CentOS6.7 from DVD-ROM.
Then, I specified “grub edit > kernel /images/pxeboot vmlinuz blacklist=ahci dd” to install B140i driver .
The Drivers file was placed in USB memory stick.
Installation is success,
but while booting, following messages out put /var/log/messages

Hello Guys !
Need to clear a confusion !
I am in the process of introducing G8 blades in an enclosure which has G5 blades right now. In order to do that, I would have to upgrade firmware for OA as well as Virtual Connect.
Upgrade C7000 OA Firmware to version 3.60-4.50
Upgrade C7000 Virtual Connect to version 3.70-4.45
The question is - what is the best recommended order in which these upgrades should be done ? OA first and then VC ? or other way around ?
1. Install CENTOS 6.5 32bit on dl-380 gen8 (P420i)
2. Remove HDD and insert DL-360 gen9
3. DL-360 gen9 power on.
That's all.
OR
1. UEFI change to Legacy BIOS
2. notmal installed (CENTOS 6.5 32bit)
That's all.
Anyone else have the UEFI boot order get reset after upgrading the BIOS from 1.50 to 2.00 and ILO from 2.30 to 2.40 using the April 2016 HPSPP? It has happened to me several times now on separate DL380 Gen9 boxes at different client sites. It isn't an issue with Windows servers, but ESXi fails to boot because it doesn't use Windows Boot Manager, which gets put at the top of the list, then USB, then the NICs, and finally the Embedded RAID controller where the boot LUN is. So of course, the ESXi hosts attempt to PXE boot. Pretty annoying.

Hi Yves ,
Thank you for choosing HPE Support Community. Could you please re-post your question here in English? This will help everybody in the Forum understand the discussion and allow them to participate as well. Thanks.
Pardon me, but I still don't understand why you want to install 32bit application on modern 64bit computer? We have come a long way from 8bit, 16bit, 32bit to 64bit architecture.
After an upgrade, one wouild imagine that the upgrade will use its own default settings. Consequently, you need to go into the BIOS and reset it to the order you want.
You can fit 2.5" SSD in 2.5" SAS or SATA caddies.

Hello everybody,
I am using the two NICs on the HP ML10v2 in IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation with a Cisco SG300-28 switch, however the iLO shared NIC stops working in this mode and I don't know how to fix this under Debian 8 or Redhad 7 and would like some help.

HP ProLiant ML10 v2 Server SN: CN65250CR1
Hello everybody,
I bought a bunch of HP ProLiant ML10 v2 servers to work as Ceph RBD cluster, to replace my HP ProLiant ML110 G7 cluster as they where making to much noise above 24 degrees Celcius and I could not fix it by replacing the termal paste or disabling iLO.
The older ML110 G7 came with a phisical serial port and a deditcated port for iLO (three NICs) and I was supprised to not find the serial port on the ML10 v2 and I looked at the motherboard and could not find a connector. I have used the HP Serial Port Adapter (PA716A) in the past to add a COM1 to HP system as we need this for our Debian 8 or Redhat 7 OS managment.
How do I add a serial port to the motherboard of the HP ML10 v2 server?
As a workaround I configured the iLO virutal serial port as COM1, but iLO is not reachable when the iLO shared NIC is in IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation mode, I posted about this here:: http://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/How-to-get-HP-ProLiant-ML10-v2-ILOv4-shared-NIC-working-with/td-p/6861241

Where can I find the bellow options when accessing the RBSU over iLO and VSP?
BIOS GRAPICAL INTERFACE MODE
System Options -> SATA CONTROLLER OPTIONS -> Embedded SATA Configuration -> Enable SATA AHCI Support
System Options -> SATA CONTROLLER OPTIONS -> Drive Write Cache -> Disabled
Also how to choose from which of the four installed harddrives to boot from?
