similar to: CentOS 5.x and HP ACU CLI

On a CentOS 6 64bit system, I added a couple prototype SAS SSDs on a HP P411 raid controller (I believe this is a rebranded LSI megaraid with HP firmware) and am trying to format them for best random IO performance with something like postgresql. so, I used the raid command tool to build a raid0 with 2 SAS SSDs # hpacucli ctrl slot=1 logicaldrive 3 show detail Smart Array P410 in Slot 1

Hi, I just received a new server (HP DL180G5) with 12x 1TB HDs and I bumped into fdisks 2TB limits... Since this is an entry level server, I can't use the classic HP bootable utilities to create smaller volumes et can only create a big RAID6. I found out that: using parted, labelling it gpt and creating the partitions would do the trick. But, what about grub? I read that it does not support

Hello all I'm gathering the output of the hpacucli program from as much configurations as possible. If you can find some free time for me, can you send me the output of: hpacucli ctrl all show detail hpacucli ctrl slot=1 show config hpacucli ctrl slot=1 array all show hpacucli ctrl slot=1 array A show hpacucli ctrl slot=1 physicaldrive all show hpacucli ctrl slot=1 physicaldrive 2I:1:1

Greetings: HP has drivers for the this controler but how do you get the drivers working for the install on Centos 4.0 ? Integrated Dual Channel Ultra ATA 100 IDE Adapter (ATA Models) I extracted the files from this RPM and placed on a CD. hpacucli-7.21-17.linux.rpm boot with the driver disk option and it does not find drivers. I'm I on the right track? Thanks -Jay

The hpacucli works... but what isn't clear to me, even with googling, is whether I have to do something from the utility, or whether I can just pull the failed drive out of the hot-swap bay and put another in. I *do* see that I have to re-enable the drive, or rescan it, but right now, I'm concerned about just pulling the dead one out. mark

Hi. Anyone working with these things? I've got a drive in "predictive failure" on in a RAID5. Now here's the thing: there was an issue yesterday when I got in, and I wound up power cycling the RAID; first boot of attached server had issues, and said the controller had a failure, and a drive had failed, and wouldn't continue booting; when I gave it the three-finger salute,

I have an HP Server w/ a Smart Array controller I need to test. I always used to use Inquisitor for this, but the hd tests are flaking out on the cciss syntax and I don't have time to dig into it, the machine is essential and I need to know whats needing to be replaced asap. Anyone know a live cd based stress test that works on SA controllers? Thanks! jlc

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

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

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

Hello Everyone, I recently installed CentOS 5.5 x86_64 on a brand new ProLiant DL380 G7. I have identical OS software running reock-solid on two other DL380 ProLiant servers, but they are G6 models, not G7. On the G7, the installation went perfectly and the machine ran great for about 2 weeks, when it just seemed to "stop". The system stopped responding on the network, and there was

Hi everyone. We have a problem here... Hope somebody can give us some hints. We have a HP ProLiant DL180 G6 Server with a Debian/Lenny sytem. Asterisk 1.4.21.2 (1.4.21.2~dfsg-3+lenny1) with zaptel (1.4.11) and libpri (1.4.3) is installed. There is a QuadBRI-Card installed: # lspci -vv -s 06:04.0 06:04.0 ISDN controller: Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN network Controller [HFC-4S] (rev 01)

Hello I have the feeling this may not be the right forum for the following question, but I d like to try it here anyway: This is the case: I had a 3x72GB HDD RAID5 shared external disk drives (HP MSA500), totalizing about 145,6 GB of data. I needed to increase the available amount of data, so I added a 4th 72GB HDD and using HP ACU I expanded my existing RAID5 Array, I have now about 218,5

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
