pe 1750 - rebuilding raid

I've got a PE 1750 with a PERC 4/Di and my RAID 5 array has dropped a
member. Is there anything in...

# rpm -qa|grep srv
srvadmin-odf-4.5.0-335
srvadmin-iws-4.5.0-335
srvadmin-jre-4.5.0-335
srvadmin-omilcore-4.5.0-335
srvadmin-storage-4.5.0-335
srvadmin-web-interface-1-0
srvadmin-omacore-4.5.0-335
srvadmin-deng-4.5.0-335

that can do an online rebuild of an array member?

Manual/document references?

Thanks

Craig

Re: OMSA 5.0???

Heya!

Nope, sorry. Here's some things that would make packaging OMSA for
Debian a bit easier:

- Some kind of documentation of the installation scripts included in the
RPM packages. Installation is also kind of modular -- ie. there's the
base RPMs and own RPM for each module separately. It would be nice to
get OMSA packaged for Debian but still preserving these modularization.

- Some kind of documentation of all of the configuration files used by
OMSA. It also seems to create some links etc. into /etc. Some info on
these would be nice too.

- Minimize the use of RH "specific" commands. If possible, wrap RH
specific commands inside functions (in a separate script file that is
included in the called script) so that they can be easily replaced with
own functions.

- Some kind of fix to the library mess, it's awful and requires adding
several lines to ld.so.conf

> [...]

As soon as OMSA 5.0 is released, I will start making Debian package of
it. Anyone interested in helping out (for example in testing the
package(s)), keep tuned -- I'll let the mailing list know about my progress.

Re: OMSA 5.0???

I agree wholeheartedly with this.  Maybe this could be fixed for SLES 10
when it launches later this year??
Kernel = 2.6.16 so all the bits should be there...

I'ld just like to second this post - I use gentoo linux, and whilst tools 
exist to extract and manipulate RPM packages, it's still a pain to deal with 
them.  I think Dell would benefit from making this easier for non-RPM based 
users.  It's not like gentoo/debian are uncommon distributions.

Re: OpenIPMI driver 33.12 for RHEL4, 36.7 for SLES9, 35.12 for RHEL3

We have some systems which already run with stock kernel 2.4.32 and
openipmi from sourceforge site:
linux-ipmi-2.4.31-v37-base.diff
linux-ipmi-2.4.31-v37-smb.diff

Then I installed the rpm for rhel3 you provide ipmitool-1.8.2-1.rhel3,
and the init scripts from the same ftp site.

At boot this is what I get on an PE830:

ipmi message handler version 37
IPMI System Interface driver version 37, KCS version 37, SMIC version
37, BT version 37
ipmi_si: Found SMBIOS-specified state machine at I/O address 0xca8
 IPMI kcs interface initialized
ipmi device interface version 37

These are the modules loaded from Dell init scripts:
ipmi_devintf            6120   0
ipmi_si_drv            26664   0
ipmi_msghandler        34828   0 [ipmi_devintf ipmi_si_drv]

All seems to work (I can get "-c sel" "-c sdr") but some commands fails, like
$ sudo ipmitool -c chassis poh
Get Chassis Power-On-Hours failed: Invalid command
$

Do you apply some Dell specific patches to the openipmi driver so that
we need to use your specific patch kits, or it's just normal that some
commands may not be supported?

Basically I'd like avoiding a kernel module upgrade if not strictly necessary.

Thanks

PE1850 / Perc4e/Si installing RedHat 9

Hi...

I am using a (U320) Perc4e/Si FW521S Standar adapter installed on a Dell  
PowerEdge 1850. I am installing Redhat 9 with kernel version 2.4.20-8. I  
am trying to install a driver becouse Anaconda does not detect the  
PowerEdge 1850 RAID

These are the driver installation steps i followed:

1. Boot from RH9 Instalation CD
2. type linux noprobe dd (to install the driver)
3. Insert the diskette driver on the USB floppy drive
4. Choose the /sda drive when the installer prompts
5. Press OK.

The installer reads the drive but nothing happens...

What is the problem?

Beforehand Thanks...

PD: The driver i am using Linux SCSI MegaRAID Driver, Version
2.10.9.0. (From LSILOGIC)

Re: Problem w/ X and OMSA 4.5/PE 2850

I'm just writing to confirm that I switched from "radeon" to "vesa" and 
xfree86 is stable with no lockups on the PE1850.  I can even go to town 
with the mouse and it's fine, which was not the case with the radeon driver.
