will C5.3 support a SmartArray 6i 'out of box', or does it need drivers to boot from this? I am advising someone else remotely and don't have the hardware handy to test.

Hello, I've been having a problem trying to boot from first hard drive via pxelinux 5.01 on a HP Proliant server having a SmartArray P220i RAID controller. On other hardware and VMs that i've tried it works. My config file looks like this: label localboot kernel chain.c32 append hd0 Is this a known issue or has anyone experienced this? Thanks, Andrei

A customer is looking to replace or augment their Sun Thumper with a ZFS appliance like 7320. However, the Thumper was used not only as a protocol storage server (home dirs, files, backups over NFS/CIFS/Rsync), but also as a general-purpose server with unpredictably-big-data programs running directly on it (such as corporate databases, Alfresco for intellectual document storage, etc.) in order to

All, I would like to run the following issue past the list to confirm that my problem analysis makes sense or whether I missed something: We have a HP ML370G6 server with VT-x and VT-d enabled in the BIOS. It is equipped with two Smart Array HBAs - one connected to the HDD array (SmartArray P800) and one connected to an LTO tape drive (SmartArray P212). Both controllers use the same driver on the dom0 (cciss). dom0 OS = CentOS 5.3 Linux 2.6.18-164.el5xen x86_64 Xen = 3.4.1 My plan was to use PCI passthrough to give a domU unrestricted access to the tape drive. However, I have been...

Quick summary of the Issue I posted a few weeks go about a HP DL380G3 server running RHAS21 that was hanging under heavy disk IO. Server is 2x2.8GB hyper threading Xeons, 6GB 400Mhz RAM. It has a built in SmartArray 5i card that was mirroring 2 disks for root, and raid5-ing 4 disk for /apps_data. A multi GB tar could make the box unresponsive for several seconds. Through put to both volumes measured about the same ~20-25MB/s, using dd if=dev/zero. We evaled a $1300 SmartArray 5312 RAID card and only got about...

Hello I do have problem using Linux with an external HP tape drive. The server platform is also an HP Server; the server is an HP ML350 G4, and the Tape drive is a HP Storage Works Ultrium 448 - 1U Rack-mountable. HP Ultrium documentation says two drivers should be automatically up, sym53c8xx for LSI SCSI interface "st" for tape and /proc/scsi/scsi should contain information about

At my university we use HP hardware exclusively. When we build CentOS our Unix SA is running several HP utilities. I am wondering what some of these utilities are, such as cmaidad. Is it possible to to use these HP utilities to monitor for disk crashes (similar to smartd)? Is anyone using native HP utilities for this purpose? TIA

...ler (E5405, VT enabled): ~140MB/s The figures are not real benchmarks - just a dd of a file which is big enough to get around cache effects in dom0. Unfortunately, the HP machines with the problem are in production use so that I cannot confirm, but I usually get normal performance out of HPs with SmartArray controllers and non-Xen kernels. I''ll go for a maintenance window in a few days to do some testing with a non-XEN kernel on them. I have seen other posts on the list having problems that smell similiar with other hardware - but no solution. Is there anything I could try to find out what...

Hi, I have setup an old Compaq Proliant DL580 with 2 xeon @700MHz 2Gb RAM two SmartArray 5300 controllers and 12 drives in an array enclosure. I am running the latest opensolaris update bfu''ed from binaries since I could not build from source. I am controlling the drives with the cpqary3 driver (Solaris 10) from HP. Initially the array had 7 drives and I created a raidz zf...

I'd agree with you John. I'm trying to get away from Amanda's unpredictability and go back to using scripts to drive dump (for ext2/3/4) and xfsdump (for xfs). Is there any easy way to tell rear to include xfsdump and dump capability? If the commands are there then its trivial to restore data. What I've done in the past is before the nightly backup write a small file to the

I googled JetStor, and saw a whole lineup of NAS/SAN boxes that support NFS, ISCSI, etc. these wouldn't work with a raid card like a P800, but a SAS expansion tray from a JetStor should work if direct connected to the SmartArray card... a JetStor that has its own embedded raid controller with SAS host connectivity won't work with a hardware raid card like a P800, you would instead want a simple HBA card, such as a HP H221 Host Bus Adapter -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz

I have a third party application that I want to run a CentOS4 box that is expecting to access the generic SCSI devices through /dev/sga, /dev/sgb, etc. However, the devices set up by udev are /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1 etc. Does anyone know what syntax I could use to create a udev rule that creates symlinks sga -> sg0 etc. for each sg[0-N] device? Thanks James Pearson

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with HP MSA60 with P400 and P800 controller. How reliable are they for a 24x7 shop? TIA
