PE800 SATA detection under opensuse 10.2

Hi,

I have recently updated our Poweredge 800 to opensuse 10.2 (kernel 2.6.18 
series). Previously it ran under Suse 9.3 (kernel 2.6.11).

I have two sata disks attached to the on-board sata ports. With the old 
installation both disks were recognized, but with the new installation only 
the first disk is recognized. I also tried attaching a different sata disk.

The SATA controller is set to "ATA", since it do not want to use the RAID of 
the ICH6. 

Under Suse 9.3 the disk were configured as software RAID, no this obviously 
does not work anymore. (RAID runs with one disk).

It think the problem is somehow realted to the ICH6 and it's settings (I don't 
know all the details but I believe it can work also in some PATA compatibilty 
mode.) But I am not quite sure about the BIOS settings and what mode is set 
when using "SATA".

Does anyone know this problem (and a solution) ?

Mathias

If you need further information (log-files) I can provide them.

http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/star.html

star -r diffopts=not,data,atime

may do the job, removing "data" will have it compare the file data. What do 
you need this "data control" for? Backups would handle it automatically.

Personally, for quite a while I've been using dump on the root ext3 
partitions, and xfsdump on data-carrying xfs partitions. A few months ago 
I've switched to star and life has become somewhat easier. It beats one heck 
out of dump, tar and cpio.

If you dump to tapes, you'll need to write a small utility to reblock the data 
and provide a decent buffer to keep the drive streaming. Note that dd is 
utterly useless with tape drives.

I use a 128mb mlock()ed FIFO with 0/90% low/high watermarks. I.e. the data 
stops going out to the tape drive when the FIFO gets empty, and restarts when 
it's about 90% full, which in my case is enough time to get the LTO II drive 
to start writing before the FIFO gets full (stalling the star process). I 
only use the tape drive's built-in compression, as it's fast enough to keep 
streaming, and doesn't bog down the server's CPU. With LTO II and a 2.4GHz 
XEON, the gzip that comes with RHEL4.4 isn't fast enough to keep it streaming 
even if set to the lowest compression.

Cheers, Kuba

1950 / perc 5i & 5E

Hey,

I'm installing a 1950 with a Perc 5/i *and* a Perc 5/E card.

The Debian Etch (kernel 2.6.18) netinstaller detected both, allowed me
to partition, but stopped halfway 

Using one of the Sarge images references on linux.dell.com (kernel
2.6.20), I had a very smooth install on the 5/i, but it doesn't find the
5/E.

Are there any parameters I need to add to the boot line for the driver
to detect both cards ?

thx,
Johan

Re: DRAC5 Crash Screenshot

Chicken & Egg scenario.

In the situation that I need to get on my DRAC, I've bombed my server
out somehow.  I'd rather boot into FreeDOS anyway than clutter up my
system.

No, Dell is definitely buying me managed switched APC PDUs.

Dell SNMP - Windows vs. Linux

Greetings all,

I am on a newfound mission across my network to get SNMP working properly on every device in an attempt to use
some great management tools.  I had been relatively lax about SNMP in the past, so I have a lot of catching up
to do ?  One thing that I have found recently is confusing me a bit, and that is the way that my Windows servers
react to SNMP vs my Linux servers.  Please allow me to cite an example:

PowerEdge server running Windows 2003 with OMSA installed, snmp enabled:

# snmpget -v2c -c xxxxx windows-box .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1 = STRING: "XXX111"

PowerEdge server running RHEL4 with OMSA installed, snmp enabled:

# snmpget -v2c -c xxxxx linux-box .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID

As you can see, the Windows machine properly responds to my request for it's service tag information,
whereas the linux box is not aware of this oid?  I have downloaded the dell MIBs (10892.mib) and placed it in
/usr/share/snmp/mibs/, however I _believe_ this has more to do with being able to call the OID by name
instead of number, and not with responding to a request for information.

I also believe that my problem has something to do with net-SNMP, but I'm not sure what exactly.  Am I missing
something easy, or is this somehow not available in linux environments?  Below is some more information
regarding the RHEL4 linux box, but please note as well that I have tried this with the exact same results on a
newer CentOS 4.4 box with OMSA 5.1 installed.

Thank you in advance, I am a bit lost at this point!

If you did put dell Mibs in /usr/share/snmp/mibs, then it should work 
the same for windows and linux box !
actually , I am questionning myself on this issue ... I wonder what is 
the use of mibs files ? is it only a question of translating oids to 
"human readable" values (.1.3.6.1.4.1 <-> iso.snmp...entreprise) or has 
it a "real power" of retreiving  datas ?  As long as we  request  oids 
by numeric  value -> .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1 , what's the 
need of installing the dell OIDs ? and installing a mib,  is it as 
simple as putting the mib file in /usr/share/snmp/mibs ?

Thanks .
