It seems I'm not alone on this : http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2012-January/045866.html For now, 2.6.32 from squeeze is too buggy. :( 2.6.39 from backports was fine but it seems to have a vulnerability issue. Latest backport from debian is 3.2. Best regards David.

Hi, I can confirm this for Debian stable with PE R510 and H700 controller. The 2.6.39 kernel seems to work OK except for the security issue mentioned before...

Power consumption

Hi
I have a bunch of R900s, 2950s, MDs, 5448 switches etc installed on a remote client site.
The client is asking for the power consumption of the kit.
Does anyone have a handy way of getting this info, or do I need to trawl the docs?
Is there a Dell page with power consumption charts for there kit?

I think OMSA should be able to read PSU load on R900s and 2950s. -- -- Pavel Mateja

For networking gear (switches and so on) I'd trust whatever the doc says. I wouldn't trust the docs for servers and storage stuff: the actual power consumption will depend on the hardware configuration and system load. Some Dell systems will report the actual power consumption via IPMI: the R310/T310 series with dual redundant PSU does that, while the same systems in single PSU configuration won't. This is a T310 with Xeon X3440 and 4 nearline 3.5" disks on hardware raid card, the system is idle most of the time: luca <at> t310:~$ sudo ipmitool sdr | egrep '(Current|Voltage|Watts)' Current 1 | 0.40 Amps | ok Current 2 | no reading | ns Voltage 1 | 226 Volts | ok Voltage 2 | no reading | ns System Level | 70 Watts | ok [one PSU is not connected to power as you can see] Of course the 'good' answer would be to actually meter your rack (with a metering PDU or similar). -- Luca Lesinigo LM Networks Srl

Broadcom drivers and firmware updates (10GE)

Hi, This is a broadcom specific question but comes back to an earlier one on managing firmware updates on Poweredge with Linux. I've been chasing a (i think) network related issue for a few days and it's increasingly starting to look like a broadcom driver and/or firmware issue. PE R715 with RHEL6.1 and 10GE acting as NFS server seems to be working fine and no dropped packets, errors or framing errors. PER715 running Ubuntu 11.10 acting as NFS client and virtualization host sees a LOT of dropped packets, errors and heaps of framing errors. If you turn on jumbo frames it seems to make the problem worse which i think is related to more traffic passing through io wise. I have very rarely seen _any_ errors on ethernet devices that usually didn't involve some serious problem. In this instance it isn't the switch and the errors show up on every Ubuntu box so it isn't all the cards or cables either. So now i'm looking at how i can upgrade the firmware and this gets back to the earlier issue - the broadcom linux update fails even on a 'supported' platform (RHEL6) with the outlined library issues. There wasn't a straightforward way i could find to update it any other way either - im aware of the lifecycle controller on the server but haven't figured out creating a repository or other things yet so.. i will be working on that. Would appreciate any tips or advice on how one does this in a linux world and/or if you have seen this specific issue with Broadcom stuff before. regards, -jason
