Hi List; I just got a new server (my first **real** server). It's a dell 2900 : quad core XEON (with a spare slot for a 2nd quad core chip) 8G memory (expandable to 64G) 8 hot swap SATA HD slots onboard PERC6i RAID controller etc I initially setup the system / RAID as follows: 1) booted off the dell setup CD 2) walked through the RAID setup and formatted the drives 3) the setup bombed

Hi, we would like to establish a small Lustre instance and for the OST planning to use standard Dell PE1950 servers (2x QuadCore + 16 GB Ram) and for the disk a JBOD (MD1000) steered by the PE1950 internal Raid controller (Raid-6). Any experience (good or bad) with such a config ? thanxs, Martin

I have a perc5i (and perc5e) raid controller in my poweredge 2970 running centos 5.5. The RAID controller config is set for write-back policy, which I can confirm by checking in OpenManage. I also called Dell and ran their reporting application and had them double check to make sure everything looks OK hardware wise and they confirm that it does Yet when CentOS boots is appears to use the

We have DELL R900 server with PERC6/i and PERC 6/E in it. O.S. is CENTOS 5.3. I download latest PERC 6 driver from DELL site and tried to installed it. I have error messages said : Module version 00.00.03.21 for megaraid_sas.ko is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 (00.00.04.01-RH1). Does CENTOS 5.3 come with PERC6 driver? I knew in CENTOS 4.X PERC 5 or PERC6

GigE wasn''t giving me the performance I had hoped for so I spring for some 10Gbe cards. So what am I doing wrong. My setup is a Dell 2950 without a raid controller, just a SAS6 card. The setup is as such : mirror rpool (boot) SAS 10K raidz SSD 467 GB on 3 Samsung 256 MLC SSD (220MB/s each) to create the raidz I did a simple zpool create raidz SSD c1xxxxx c1xxxxxx c1xxxxx. I have

Hi *, I am currently in the planning stage for a "new and improved" mail system at my university. Right now, everything is on one big backend server but this is causing me increasing amounts of pain, beginning with the time a full backup takes. So naturally, I want to split this big server into smaller ones. To keep things simple, I want to pin a user to a server so I can avoid

Hi All, When tried to pass through 2 mpt2sas HBA to hvm guest, hvmloader paused with below: MPT BIOS Fault 09h encountered at adapter PCI(00h,04h,00h) Press any key to continue... Checked related codes and mostly like it caused by rombios did not loaded MPT BIOS properly, and lead MPT BIOS failed to bootup. config-file of the guest as below: ---------------------------------- # cat vm.cfg

I don't think this is off topic since I want to use JBOD mode so that Linux can do the RAID. I'm going to hopefully run this in CentOS 5 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a Sunfire x2250 Hard to get answers I can trust out of vendors :-) I have a Sun RAID card which I am pretty sure is LSI OEM. It is a 3G/s SAS1 with 2 external connectors like the one on the right here :

Hello CentOS List, I have a server that has SysV script supplied by a hardware manufacturer, which is not functioning properly. From my reading, systemd-sysv-generator should handle them (like it did for Dell OpenManage software which supplied SysV init scripts). /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-sysv-generator Takes no or 3 arguments (it tells me), but I didn't find clear

we have DELL R900 with CENTOS 5.3 in it. This DELL R900 come with one integrate PERC6/I and two PERC6/E card. DELL 6/I control 5 internal disks. The original disk sequence are: /dev/sda1 /boot /dev/sda2 / /dev/sdb1 swap ... after I configured PERC6/E disks and reboot, /dev/sda change to RAID disk and original /boot and / change to /dev/sde1 and /dev/sde2. My modprobe.conf is: alias

Hi everybody. I have an HP StorageWorks array connected to one of my servers, connected via an LSI controller (lspci reports: SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)) on an HP DL385 running CentOS 5.5 x86_64. I have set up multipath and all is working but, when I create a snaphost and export it as a new LUN from the HP web interface, it

On Xen-3.4 (unstable version), I have created CentOS PV guest and dedicated 1068 SAS controller but I am not able to see the disk which is connected to 1068 SAS controller when I do fdisk -l (vtd support is enabled in Xen). Looks like the pci device(SAS controller) is getting dedicated successfully as I can see the device in the list of pci devices shown by lspci. 05:00.0 SCSI storage

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Heyho guys, I'm running since years glusterfs in a small environment without big problems. Now I'm going to use glusterFS for a bigger cluster but I've some questions :) Environment: * 4 Servers * 20 x 2TB HDD, each * Raidcontroller * Raid 10 * 4x bricks => Replicated, Distributed volume * Gluster 3.4 1) I'm asking me, if I can

Instead of converting the sysv script, you could trivially write your own, the following was tested against about 6 SNMP queries, the service stops and starts as expected. You may want to purge the sysv remnants. # cat /etc/systemd/system/lsi_mrdsnmpd.service [Unit] Description=LSI SNMP Agent startup/shutdown script Requires=network.target Requires=snmpd.service After=network.target

Hi, folks, Got an older Dell R410, with an LSI 1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08). It *appears* that a) trying MegaRaid, and b) from what I'm googling, that what I need are mptfusion-related packages. Unfortunately, yum shows me nothing available in base, epel, or rpmfusion. Am I looking for the wrong thing, or does anyone have a source (no, I haven't looked at LSI, sorry

Hi all, Any one experience issue with Dell 2950 and CentOS 5.3, I face some issue like this, server install alright. Keep it in production for a while, Done an update one the server. Reboot , It said no boot devices found. Check on the perc6/i controller the both harddisk show online and optimal. Using live cd to check, the both harddisk still have the data. My issue was solve by removing the

Hey, everyone, I''m having some issues with a Xen DomU right related to performance. We have an application that cross-compiles a Linux distribution from scratch for embedded systems. We''re attempting to run this application inside a Xen DomU (paravirtualized, modified guest kernel), and the performance is really bad. The culprit seems to be high I/O wait times related to the
