I´m trying to make OMSA command "omreport storage *" work. "omreport
chassis *"  and "omreport system *" are ok.

# omreport storage controller
No controllers found

My system: OMSA 6.5. CentOS 6.2. PERC H710. PowerEdge R620. I did the
installation using yum:

# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash

# yum install srvadmin-all dell_ft_install

I´m starting to think there is no support for H710 on OMSA 6.5. Am i right?

I found the 7.0 version on Ubuntu repository, but the latest version
on the official repository is 6.5. Any date for 7.0 to be avaiable?

Thanks,

Andre

Hello,
installed CentOS 6.2 x86_64 + updates on a PE2950 generation II server

Each time I try to reboot the server, it stops like in this image:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwoPbcrMv8mvVGVVc2tXU2JobEk

How can I debug this problem?
Until today this server had rh el 5.7 x86_64 and didn't show this problem.

fw levels are ok
drac5 fw  1.51
BMC 2.37
bios 2.6.1
perc 5/i  5.2.2-0072

This reboot problem btw prevents me to update bios to latest 2.7.0
through PE2950_BIOS_LX_2.7.0.BIN file.
In fact when I have to reboot the server, it stops and so I'm forced
to power cycle and I get back my 2.6.1 version...

This behaviour is the same with and without the 6.5.0 omsa for rhel6
installed (they seems to work ok, after changing redhat-release file)

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

we have some R510 with the Dual-NIC Broadcom onboard and an PCIe Intel 
Single-Port GigE Card separately attached.

We now setup a Linux Bonding (Debian Squeeze latest with ifenslave-2.6) 
using settings below and i want to ask if its okay or not to use one 
Broadcom and the Intel Card in a Bond together or if its better to use 
NICs from the same vendor for that (the 3rd NIC is a normal iface)

We saw issues with SLES11 on R310 while bonding them (mode4 LACP) and 
using an IPSec Tunnel over this with the following error. so i want to ask

2012:05:24-09:42:22 seth kernel: [659323.689392] ppp0 received packet on 
queue 2, but number of RX queues is 1

bonding on that 510 is mode 1 active/backup. - here the config (eth0/1 
is internal broadcom, eth2 intel pcie) - i dont think that this causes 
similar errors because only one card is active and not both the same 
time like on the SLES11 we have a mode=4 bonding.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 10.1.30.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.1.30.1
bond_mode active-backup
bond_miimon 100
bond_downdelay 200
bond_updelay 200
bond_primary eth0
slaves eth0 eth2
#
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 172.1.30.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

Has anyone successfully got Debian Squeeze running on a 12th gen
PowerEdge (R[67]20 mainly).  Which squeeze backports kernel works
best (at all?)  Any issues, significant performance/stability
problems?  Does Testing/Wheezy work?

Thanks,
--stephen

anywhere in the world client vpn -> nxclient (administrative box),
browser -> OMSA on server

Hi,

Just saw that debian uses /etc/network/interfaces for the NIC configuration. 
Do you use something like this in the config file;
'hwaddress ether 00:01:04:1b:2C:1F'

You mean "ifconfig eth0" - yes theres by default the mac-addr = hwaddr.
its just debian squeeze default, if you want...

Hi everyone.

I have a serious problem in our data center and no clue why.
we have an R510 (internal Broadcom GigE Dual-NIC) and one Single-Port 
Intel GigE PCIe Card.

After a reboot the order of the NIC in our Debian Squeeze seems to 
change, that eth0 is not the Intel Card anymore but instead one of the 
internal Broadcoms. After another Reboot this changes back so our 
network config in /etc/network/interface (all static) works again.

Is that a configuration problem in the BIOS/Internal NIC MBA? or in 
Debian itself and how can i prevent this?

It seems that this problem only exists on the Debian Machine since we 
have two R310 with 2 internal and a Intel Quad-Port Card but with SLES11 
(Astaro Security Gateway v8.3) on it and after a lot of reboots theres 
no NIC change.

Thanks for any help!

Martin
